New Japan Radio Introduces Ultra-Compact GNSS Front End Module for Automotive Applications

New Japan Radio (NJR) has developed a new front-end module for 1.5 GHz GNSS applications (including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo). The NJG1159PHH-A consists of a pre-SAW filter and low noise amplifier in a compact thin package that improves the reception sensitivity of GNSS modules.  Furthermore, it conforms to the AEC-Q100 standard and supports the VDA 6.3 process audit of VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) making it ideal for automotive applications.

The NJG1159PHH-A can remove the interference waves with the SAW filter that has a low loss and high out-band rejection characteristics in the first stage, and can then amplify the GNSS signals using the LNA in the second stage. Since the module improves GNSS signal reception sensitivity, it contributes to improving the positioning accuracy and shortening the positioning time. In automotive devices, usually, the SAW filter alone measures 3.0 x 3.0 mm. However, the NJG1159PHH-A, that consists of a SAW filter and LNA fit into a small hermetically sealed package that measures 1.5 x 1.1 mm.

The NJG1159PHH-A supports the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 and VDA 6.3, and has that PPAP document available on request. It is ideal for GNSS Automotive applications.
