1. Introduction

The Maverick GRS.01 GPS/Glonass/Beidou smart antenna receiver system is a

complete receiver and antenna. It is the most advanced small form factor smart

antenna receiver system on the market today.

Featuring the u-blox M8 multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, QZSS and SBAS)

engine, the MAX-8 series delivers high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times in the

industry proven MAX form factor. A wide-band, specially tuned, advanced 35mm

dielectric ceramic patch antenna is integrated directly with the receiver for best

receive sensitivity.

In addition, an electronic compass function is included for direction finding.

This system allows continuous position coverage in most application environments.

Furthermore, it’s very easy to operate this antenna via I2C serial bus, since the

protocols and commands support APM version 2.x, which is popular in the drone UAV

application field.
