GP2015
GPS Receiver RF Front End
Sept. 2007
The GP2015 is a small format RF Front-end for Global
Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Equivalent in
performance to the GP2010 but in a TQFP package, this
product is suited for size-critical applications as the RF area
can be reduced by a factor of two to three using miniature
surfacemountpassivecomponents TheGP2015isdesigned
to operate from either 3 or 5 Volt supplies.

The input to the device is the L1 (1575.42MHz) Coarse-
Acquisition (C/A) code Global Positioning signal from an
antenna (via a low-noise pre-amplifier). The output is 2-bit
quantised for subsequent signal processing in the digital
domain.TheGP2015containsanon-chipsynthesiser,mixers,
AGC and a quantiser which provides Sign and Magnitude
digitaloutputs.Aminimumofexternalcomponentsisrequired
to make a complete GPS front-end.
