Product description
The NEO-M9N module is built on the robust u-blox M9 GNSS
chip, which provides exceptional sensitivity and acquisition
times for all L1 GNSS systems. The u-blox M9 standard precision GNSS platform, which delivers meter-level accuracy,
succeeds the well-known u-blox M8 product range.
NEO-M9N supports concurrent reception of four GNSS. The
high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to selectthe best signals. This maximizes the position accuracy, inparticular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban
canyons.
NEO-M9N detects jamming and spoofing events and reports
them to the host, so that the system can react to such events.
Advanced filtering algorithms mitigate the impact of RF interference and jamming, thus enabling the product to operate as
intended.
A SAW filter combined with an LNA in the RF path is integrated in the NEO-M9N module. This setup allows normal operation even under strong RF interferences, for example when acellular modem is co-located with NEO-M9N.
NEO-M9N offers backwards pin-to-pin compatibility with previous u-blox generations, which saves designers time and costwhen upgrading their design. Software migration requires little effort thanks to the continuous support of UBX messages
across product generations.
