GPS Amplifier for nRF9160

[Jeff Seaman]

My first layout for the nRF9160 chip worked well but we were unable to locate the GPS amplifier.

We are working on finalizing our layout for a nRF9160 module. 

We are still unable to locate a supplier for the GPS signal amplifier QM14501.  Do you have a source for these or can you suggest some other part.  We would need a schematic for a substitute part.

I know the GPS is nonfunctional at the moment but we want to be ready.

I would also take a look into nxp, infineon or skyworks. All have similar product which is in stock unlike the above. Or use a larger gps antenna unlike the one of the reference board; of course if possible. A larger patch antenna might remove the need for a gps amplifier.

Hi.

If you want the datasheet for QM14501, you have to request it on the link Mike provided.

Best regards,

if you are using altium then just download the design files of the nRF9160 and you will have the part. If you are not using altium I would suggest grabbing the design files either way and then using the gerbers to recreate the part in the ecad system you are using. Qorvo doesn't always release datasheets so you have to request them. Basically means you are going to have a sales rep contact you and learn more about your project etc. To avoid that I would suggest use the nordic design files.
