Antenna Modules
The A1035 antenna module family is based on Tyco's GPS receiver A1029-A incorporating
STMicroelectronics' STA2051 base-band chip and SiGe's SE4100L downconverter. The family
comprises three modules for different kind of applications: Automotive, Bluetooth and Consumer.
All modules offer an antenna for optimum signal reception and performance. The A1035-A takes
advantage of the integral CAN controller within the STA2051. A CAN transceiver and an RS232
interface allow the transmission of position, velocity and time information over long distance in
a cost-effective way. In combination with a wide voltage input range this module is ideally suited
for automotive applications. The Bluetooth version A1035-B is optimized for use in navigation
applications. With the Bluetooth stack running in the STA2051 and the integration of the STLC2500
Bluetooth RF frontend module this combination provides the most integrated solution transmitting
the PVT information via SPP protocol stack. Finally the consumer version A1035-C is addressing
telematics applications where a board-to-board or cable connection to a smart antenna module
is required. Information can be exchanged via UART or SPI on CMOS TTL level.

Assumes a benign multipath environment and differential corrections once per second.
The receiver’s calibrated clock is not stopped, thus it knows precise time (to the µs level).
The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and valid almanac and ephemeris data.
The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and almanac.
The receiver has no estimate of time/date/position, and no recent almanac.
Receiver is powered-off, clock stops. Start-up time depends on time to power on and power-on location.
