Linx's RM Series GPS Receiver Module Offers an Economical Solution to Precise Global
Positioning
|
November 4, 2013
— Linx Technologies announces its launch of the high performance, low cost
RM Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver modules. Using the built-in MediaTek MT3337
chipset, The RM module can simultaneously acquire on 66 channels and track on up to 22 channels,
providing standard NMEA data messages through a UART interface. A simple serial command set
can be used to configure optional features.
The RM receiver module is a cost-effective
GPS solution. It offers no-frills, basic operation in a compact 15 mm by 13 mm package. The
MediaTek MT3337-based RM Series is completely self-contained and only requires an antenna. It
powers up and outputs position data without any software set-up or configuration, making the
RM Series easy to integrate.
The
receiver operates down to 3.0 volts and has a low tracking current of 12mA. The module has built-in
receiver duty cycling that can be configured to periodically turn off the module for added power
savings. This low power consumption helps maximize runtimes in battery powered applications,
such as consumer recreational positioning, marine, location and tracking, cargo tracking, and
other asset monitoring systems.
In addition, the available GPS Master Development System
connects a RM Series Evaluation Module to a prototyping board with a color display that shows
coordinates, a speedometer and compass for mobile evaluation. A USB interface allows simple
viewing of satellite data and Internet mapping, as well as custom software application development.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
