SE878K3-A

The Jupiter SE878K3-A is a plug-and-play multi-constellation receiver with integrated high-sensitivity 17 x 17 mm patch antenna, SAW filter, additional LNA, flash memory, GNSS core, RTC and TCXO.

• Standard variant with integrated 17 x 17 x 4 mm SMT antenna
• Additional LNA and SAW filter
• SMT mounting not requiring holes on host PCB
• Supports ephemeris file injection (A-GPS)
• Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) compliant
• Embedded RF switch to support external antennas as well

The Jupiter SE878K3-A GNSS antenna module is a complete multi-constellation GNSS receiver featuring a high sensitivity 17 x 17 mm patch antenna, SAW filter, additional LNA, flash memory, GNSS core, RTC and TCXO. The SE878K3-A uses Telit’s “cavity like” PCB package with an optimized RF path supporting standard SMT mounting without constraining the host PCB, minimizing the antenna detuning.

The SE878K3-A support GPS, QZSS and GLONASS, Beidou and it is Galileo ready. The SE878K3-A is capable to track GPS + GLONASS (or Beidou) and Galileo constellations simultaneously, providing the positioning data though standard UART and I2C.

The Jupiter SE878K3-A supports either autonomous than server based A-GPS. Its onboard A-GPS software engine is able to locally predict ephemeris up to three days in advance and store this data in the memory.

Easing the development process for designers with little or no RF experience, the SE878K3-A is compliant with regulatory and industry standards specifications. Additionally, it supports the usage of an external antenna through an embedded RF switch. This feature is particularly useful in applications such as personal trackers and alarms in which the main antenna is the external one and the internal antenna is used as backup when the external is broken or compromised.

The SE878K3-A is designed to Telematics, Tracking & Trace and Alarm applications.
