Overview

The SKY65943-11 is a compact RF Front-End Module (FEM) designed for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications. It integrates a low-noise amplifier (LNA), pre-filter, and post-filter into a single 10-MCM (2.5x2.5) package. This module operates across the 1.559 GHz to 1.606 GHz frequency range, supporting Galileo, GLONASS, GNSS, and GPS standards. Its small footprint and high integration make it suitable for space-constrained and power-sensitive designs.

Why Choose This Part

The SKY65943-11 offers a highly integrated solution for GNSS RF front-ends, reducing component count and board space. The integrated pre- and post-filters simplify system design and minimize external filtering requirements. Its low current consumption of 2.9mA @ 1.8V makes it suitable for battery-powered devices. The compact 2.5x2.5 mm MCM package is beneficial for space-constrained applications.

Applications

GNSS Radio Receivers
