Any highly sensitive GPS requires significant RF expertise on the part of the mobile device design team, in order to achieve best results. Incorrect antenna choice, PCB design, or PCB manufacturing can easily desensitize even the best receiver, resulting in degradation of performance from stated specifications. Input from CellGuide’s experienced GPS design and implementation team can give your product a competitive edge.

CellGuide has approached the GPS design-in challenge in two ways. First, we’ve designed ACLYS and the CGX5900 to be as design-friendly as possible. Secondly, we’ve developed our Comprehensive GPS Services program.

The Comprehensive GPS Services program can support your design team with the following:

• Full reference design
• Support by CellGuide GPS experts on issues
  such as:
• Antenna selection
• PCB design and manufacturing requirements
• Power management
• EMC and shielding considerations
• On-site design review
• ATP
• Performance testing in CellGuide’s advanced GPS lab

The potential benefits of the Comprehensive GPS Services program are:

• Better GPS performance
• Faster design-in with fewer iterations
• Significant cost savings
• More optimal use of internal design resources
