What is a POT GNSS Module?
A POT GNSS module refers to a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module that uses a Patch On Top (POT) antenna design.
- POT stands for Patch On Top.
- The module integrates a ceramic patch antenna directly on top of the GNSS receiver.
- This design makes the module compact, easy to integrate, and suitable for space-constrained applications.
- POT GNSS modules are commonly used for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou navigation systems.
Summary:
A POT GNSS module is a navigation module with a built-in patch antenna mounted on top, providing a simple and compact solution for satellite positioning.
GNSS Start
COLD start GNSS:
- When first used;
- Loss of ephemeris information due to battery depletion;
- Move the receiver more than 200 km under shutdown.
HOT start GNSS:
- Boot less than two hours from the last location
WARM start GNSS:
- Boot more than two hours from the last location
