34 UBX-G0011 u-blox RF front-end chip for Capture & Process Product description The UBX-G0011 is u-blox first choice RF chip when it comes to partner hardware for Capture & Process. Featuring high RF performance in terms of sensitivity and noise figure, the UBX-G0011 enables simple technical realisation of Capture & Process while keeping the cost of integration low. Cost is one of the main customer concerns and UBX-G0011 is an attractive product in that respect: its integrated LNA reduces BOM, as does the small 4x4mm footprint. Besides the RF performance UBX- G0011 adds value by saving battery resources with low current consumption in operational and in stand-by mode. In addition to the instantaneous GPS data capture, u-blox Capture & Process technology enables UBX- G0011 to be only operated during the short interval of GPS data capture, providing additional battery savings. Last but not least, the SPI interface makes integration and configuration of UBX-G0011 simple. For further details about u-blox patented Capture & Process technology, see page 64.
