SparkFun Ublox GPS-RTK-SMA (Qwiic) - ZED-F9P

SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA - ZED-F9P

SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA - ZED-F9P (GPS-16481)

The ZED-F9P module is the top-of-the-line module for high accuracy GNSS and GPS location solutions including RTK. The ZED-F9P is unique in that it can receive both L1 and L2 GPS bands as well as up to four constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) at the same time. This module is capable of 10mm positional accuracy and has survey-in mode allowing the module to become a base station and produce RTCM 3.x correction data.

Words, words, words. What does it look like?! I'm glad you asked!

qwiic_gps-rtk2's Issues

Antenna bias voltage below ANN-MB spec (2.65V < 3.0V)

Based on a theoretical analysis (I don't have a board available), I've found that the Qwiic GPS-RTK-SMA antenna bias voltage is below the voltage required by the ublox ANN-MB antenna. The antenna requires >= 3.0 V, but assuming data sheet values the antenna is only supplied with 2.65 V, due to voltage drop on the board. Details below.

ANN-MB supply voltage range and current:

  • VCC = 3.0 ~ 5.0 V
  • ICC = ~15 mA @ 5 V

ZED-F9P antenna supply voltage:

  • VCC_RF = VCC - 0.1V = 3.2 V

Series resistance between VCC_RF and GND: R_BIAS = ~36 Ω

  • Short circuit current limiting resistor R14: 33 Ω
  • Bias inductor FB1 (LQW15ANR12J00D): 2.66 Ω
  • 5m RG174: ~0.7 Ohm @ 0,15 Ω/m

This leaves VCC_RF - R_BIAS * ICC = 3.2 V - 36 Ω * 15 mA = 3.2 V - 0.55 V = 2.65 V for the active antenna.

Curiously, the F9P integration manual also does not meet the ANN-MB's voltage requirements, while disregarding its datasheet's absolute maximum value for the bias current with a total series resistance of ~20 Ω.

GPS accuracy worsen with another USB device

I have SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout - ZED-F9P (Qwiic), I am connecting it to a ubuntu 18 machine. It runs as expected without problems until I connect another USB device, and the Horizontal and Vertical accuracies (hAcc, VAcc) become worst, and as soon as I uplug the other device from the USB, the hAcc and Vacc get back to previous ranges. The device I plug in is a realsense camera, but I also tried other USB devices and the same thing happens.
I am tryingt to run a SLAM using the GPS and the realsense camera so this issue is very important to me.
The same thing happens over windows 10 (runnig u-center), but the hAcc and Vacc get worst only for a short period of time and it gets back to normal.
I tried in a raspberry pi, Jetson Tx2 and the same happens. I also tried an USB isolator, but same issue.

Any advice of what I should do?

Thanks
