L1 Quad Constellation
Precision Timing Mode
GNSS Receiver Module
PX1120T is a single chip, quad GNSS receiver targeting
precision timing applications. The PX1120T is capable of
using GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS, and SBAS signal
to provide precise 1PPS signal generation in a single
compact SMD module. It is fully autonomous such that once
power is applied, the receiver automatically searches,
acquires and tracks satellite signals. When a sufficient
number of satellites are tracked with valid measurements,
the receiver produces position, velocity, and date/time
output along with 1PPS signal.
Global quad-constellation GNSS signal receiving capability
enables using greater number of satellite signal than
GPS/GLONASS dual-constellation receivers. The increased
satellite number offers superior performance in challenging
urban canyon environments.
Single-chip Phoenix positioning engine is inside the receiver
module. It features high sensitivity and fast TTFF. PX1120T
can acquire, track, and get position fix autonomously in
difficult weak signal environment. Its high tracking
sensitivity allows continuous operation in nearly all outdoor
application environments. The high performance signal
parameter search engine is capable of testing 16 million
time-frequency hypotheses per second, offering fast signal
acquisition and TTFF speed.
The receiver module contains SAW filter and a notch filter
to remove out-band interference and LTE B13 signal at the
RF input prior to the first stage LNA. This configuration
allows normal operation even under strong RF interference
when cellular modem is near the PX1120T.
PX1120T is backward pin-to-pin compatible with earlier
SkyTraq 12.2mm x 16.0mm form factor GNSS module,
allowing very easy migration.

    The simple UART serial interface and the standard NMEA-0183 protocol make usage of PX1120T very easy and straightforward. PX1120T module performs all the necessary system initialization, signal acquisition, signal tracking, data demodulation, and calculation of navigation solution autonomously. SkyTraq Technology, Inc.

  • Page 4: Operation

    OPERATION When PX1120T is turned on, it automatically begin to acquire and track GNSS signal. After valid ephemeris data is collected for each tracked satellite signal and ready for position fix, it performs self-survey of its location in Survey Mode. After 2000 position fixes (configurable) the PX1120T automatically enters Static Mode, a clock over-determined time-only mode.

If the driving circuitry is powered independently of PX1120T, ensure that this pin is not driven to HIGH when primary power to PX1120T is removed, or a 10K-ohm series resistor can be added to minimize leakage current from application to the powered off module.

  • Page 8: Application Circuit

    APPLICATION CIRCUIT When PX1120T has previously been used within 2 hour, for faster time to first fix powering up without needing to decoded ephemeris data from signal, V_BCKP should be connected to non-volatile supply; above figure with V_BCKP connected to rechargeable battery is an example implementation. If cold starting every time powering up is not an issue, V_BCKP can be connect to VCC.
  • Page 9: Antenna Considerations

    It has the flexibility of being located remotely from the module, but requires antenna power. Active antenna usually costs more than passive patch antenna, but the performance in low signal environments is usually better. Active antenna with gain of 10 ~ 20dB and noise figure less than 1.5dB can be used with PX1120T. SkyTraq Technology, Inc.
  • Page 10: Power Supply Requirement

    POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT PX1120T requires a stable power supply, avoid ripple on VCC pin (<50mVpp). Power supply noise can affect the receiver’s sensitivity. Bypass capacitors of 10uF and 0.1uF is recommended to be placed close to the module VCC pin;...
  • Page 11: Layout Guidelines

    HANDLING GUIDELINE The PX1120T modules are rated MSL4, must be used for SMT reflow mounting within 72 hours after taken out from the vacuumed ESD-protective moisture barrier bag in factory condition < 30degC / 60% RH. If this floor life time is exceeded, or if the received ESD-protective moisture barrier bag is not in vacuumed state, then the device need to be pre-baked before SMT reflow process.
