z(DISCONTINUED) 220 MHz Filter/Preamp
$52.95Uputronics filtered preamps for improved reception on 220Mhz.
This is a cost effective SAW based unit which give excellent performance gains.
All Uputronics preamps are compatible with most USB SDR Dongles such as the Airspy. You can power them from either bias tee (This item is 100% compatible with the Airspy bias-tee) or a simple USB mini cable (Purchased separately). Bias tee/USB voltage is 5V max.
This unit is a small filter and preamp designed to go between a software defined radio receiver and an antenna. Using a SAW bandpass filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), it stops out of band intermodulation while providing additional gain for increased sensitivity. The LNA is before the SAW filter. To block strong commercial FM signals a high pass filter is installed before the LNA.
The LNA used is a MiniCircuits PSA4-5043+ which provides at least 20dB of gain. To stop out of band intermodulation a 220Mhz SAW bandpass filter, which has a 7MHz bandwidth is also present. The insertion loss of this filter is approximately 2.3dB, which does increase the overall noise figure of the unit to 0.75dB. Connectors are SMA female both sides.

z(DISCONTINUED) uBLOX MAX-M8Q 5V SAW/LNA GPS Breakout With Sarantel Antenna
$54.95This is an assembled breakout board with a uBLOX MAX-M8Q module, front end LNA and Filter.
The board incorporates an Infineon front end SAW filter and LNA for enhanced performance and faster lock times.
We have two versions. This one is suitable for interfacing with 5V microcontrollers such as the Arduino. The 5V version comes with suitable level convertor for serial/I2C and 3.3V regulator to ensure safe operation and interfacing. If the 5V version is connect to an Arduino you can still program the Arduino as the serial level convertor defaults to off.

uBLOX MAX-M8C Pico GPS Breakout with Chip Antenna
$26.95This is new version of the popular pico break outboard, now with SCL & SDA. The board is assembled with a uBLOX MAX-M8C module, chip antenna and a decoupling capacitors.
This board has VCC, GND and RX & TX, SCL & SDA for I2C.
IMPORTANT : This module has no onboard voltage regulation so a clean regulated 1.8 – 3.6v power is required. If you want to link this to your microcontroller you must ensure it runs at 1.8 to 3.6v on the serial/I2C or you will risk damaging this module. Arduinos/PC Serial generally run at 5V so you will need a level converter.
There is no provision for battery backup (V_BCKUP is hard tied to VCC).
