The UBX-F10 Series from u-Blox are L1/L5 Band GNSS Chips for use in urban environments. They have RF interference and jamming detection/reporting features for signal integrity and advanced filtering algorithms for spoofing detection and reporting. These chips have an odometer that measures the traveled distance with support for different user profiles and provides real-time position accuracy estimates with 95% confidence. They support GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN) constellations.
The UBX-F10 series modules support u-blox AssistNow location service that provides real-time online A-GNSS service with assured global availability. These chips use proprietary dual-band multipath mitigation technology that uses the best signals from the L1/L5 bands to achieve significantly better position accuracy in urban environments than with the L1 band only. They provide excellent RF sensitivity using the L5 band signals in weak signal situations to ensure good position accuracy even with small antennas. These chips are qualified for the AEC-Q100 stress conditions and are manufactured in IATF 16949-certified sites.
The UBX-F10 series chips have a tracking and navigation sensitivity of -167 dBm, reacquisition sensitivity of -160 dBm, cold start sensitivity of -148 dBm, and hot start sensitivity of -159 dBm. They have a cold start time of 28 seconds, an aided start time of 2 seconds, and a reacquisition time of 1 second. These chips have a navigation update rate of up to 10 Hz and a horizontal position accuracy of up to 1 m CEP (with SBAS). They require a DC supply of 1-1.8 V and consume 35 mW of power. These chips are available in 28-pin QFN packages that measure 4.0 x 4.0 x 0.55 mm or 5.0 x 5.0 x 0.55 mm and can be controlled via UART, DDC (I2C) and SPI interfaces. They are ideal for vehicle tracking and micro-mobility applications with meter-level accuracy in urban environments.
