2024.01.05: GNSS antenna changes

We would like to inform you that starting from February 2024, there will be a change in the manufacturing process of our FMC130 devices. We will be transitioning to utilize Surface Mount Device (SMD) manufactured GNSS antennas, which will replace the existing Dual-In-line Package (DIP) technique.

Change description
Change type Mechanical part changes
Detailed description Change of the manufacturing process, transition from Dual-In-line Package (DIP) to Surface Mount Device (SMD) process.
Old version:
Dual-In-Line Package (DIP) manufactured antennas

Antenna size: 25x25x4 mm
Center frequency: 1575.42 MHz, 1602 MHz
VSWR: <1.1
Average Gain: -2.6 dB
Return loss: <-25 dB

New version:
Surface Mount Device (SMD) manufactured antennas

Antenna size: 25x25x4 mm
Center frequency 1575.42 MHz, 1602 MHz
VSWR: <1.9
Average Gain: -2.5 dB
Return loss: <-9 dB

Change reasons Standardization of GNSS antennas throughout device portfolio and manufacturing efficiency improvements.
Release date February, 2024.
Affected products
Model Affected order codes Order code changes
FMC130 FMC130******* order codes SMD manufactured antennas
Change impact
Risk assessment During transition period clients might receive devices with previous DIP manufactured antennas. The transition period can last from February to June.

Since the change of the GNSS antenna is visible visually on PCB, in order to avoid problems at the customs of certain countries, we suggest informing the relevant authorities about the change of the GNSS antenna. The new SMD GNSS antenna provides an equivalent track quality and performance level, as verified through testing. Testing results:

Caption text
Device Antenna Avg. Difference from precise track [m]*
FMC130_211 SMD 3.30
FMC130_264 SMD 2.94
FMC130_351 SMD 2.65
FMC130_476 DIP 4.23
FMC130_640 DIP 3.52
* Avg. Difference from precise track - measured by comparing positioning data from devices and RTK (Real-time kinematic positioning) system data which is considered precise data. The smaller avg. difference from precise track, means better track quality.
** Testing is done inside vehicle interior. Devices were placed on the carpet, with front passenger seat removed. It is worth noting that GNSS signal is heavily influenced by the exact location device(s) is(are) placed.
Suggested implementation plan No implementation plan is needed.
