This GPS/RTK HAT can track dual-frequency L1+L5 GNSS signals, substantially reducing multipath interference in urban environments and enhancing positioning accuracy. This module is compatible with Raspberry Pi series boards and Jetson Nano through its standard 40-pin GPIO extension header.
It supports concurrent reception of multiple GNSS systems, including GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS, which enables it to provide consistent and low-power consumption tracking. It has RTK technology for centimetre-level positioning accuracy, which is important for real-time tracking systems. Additionally, it includes a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA) and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter, which boost its sensitivity to -165dBm and strengthen its anti-interference capabilities, making it suitable for a variety of projects that require precise and reliable geolocation data.
We also have the
- LC29H(AA) GPS HAT to improve the positioning performance of service areas
- LC29H(DA) GPS/RTK HAT for high-precision positioning of terminal devices
Note: Raspberry Pi boards are NOT included.
Features
- Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano
