Automotive antenna module with CANbus interface

06 June 2005 - Tyco Electronics With the A1035-A (automotive) Tyco Electronics announces the first member of a new family of smart antenna modules. These modules are based on the A1029-A GPS receiver module and optimize in one module GPS performance by combining an antenna patch, an LNA and the receiver. The A1035-A adds a wide power input range (7V to 30V) to that and allows the transmission of PVT (position, velocity, time) information by either RS232 using standard NMEA protocol or by CANbus. As a CANbus controller is an integral part of the STA2051, the solution is very cost effective. With the CANbus, even long distance communication is possible in an electrical dirty environment. The combination incorporated in the module therefore offers highest performance at a low price for the system solution (module plus signal transmission).
