The MAX2769 is a low cost, single conversion, low IF GPS receiver that offers two integrated LNAs with different specifications, I/Q channel filters with variable bandwidth and order, and a digital IF output that supports 1-bit and 2-bit operation. This reference design offers high performance, small size, and low BOM cost. Figure 1. GPS reference design features the MAX2769. Important Design Features Dual-Input Uncommitted LNA for Separate Passive and Active Antenna Inputs Integrated Active Antenna Sensor Which Can Autoswitch the Antenna Input The I and Q Channel-Select Filters Can Be Selected as Either Third or Fifth Order Provides 110dB Cascaded Gain and a 1.5dB Cascaded NF in LNA1 Mode The IF Output Is Adjustable in 63 Steps Between 0MHz and 12.5MHz Can Be Used in Preconfigured States that Do not Require Programming Through the 3-wire SPI™ Interface Figure 2.
