Overview

The TFM.100B is a high-performance, multi-band GNSS RF front-end module designed for high-precision positioning applications. It supports major global navigation satellite system frequencies including 1.166GHz, 1.176GHz, 1.186GHz, 1.559GHz, 1.575GHz, and 1.606GHz. This module integrates a two-stage LNA architecture to provide high gain and low noise figures across all supported bands in a compact 34-SMD package.

Why Choose This Part

The module features a dual-gain stage architecture that delivers over 25 dB of gain with a noise figure of less than 3.0 dB across all bands. Its wide operating voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V simplifies power tree design, and the surface-mount module format reduces development cycles compared to discrete RF designs.

Applications

High-Precision GNSS Positioning
Used as a dedicated front-end for receivers requiring multi-constellation support and sub-meter accuracy.
UAV and Robotic Navigation
Ideal for autonomous systems where a small form factor and low power consumption (7.5-9.0mA) are critical.
Autonomous Vehicle Positioning
Provides the necessary amplification and filtering for L1, L2, and L5 band signals in automotive environments.

Getting Started

To integrate the TFM.100B, ensure the 34-SMD landing pattern follows Taoglas's layout recommendations to maintain impedance control for RF traces. Designers should provide a stable supply voltage within the 1.8V to 5.5V range and implement proper grounding for the internal LNAs to achieve optimal noise performance.
