Introduction
RoyalTek REB-3310 low power and small form factor board is the newest generation
of RoyalTek GPS Receiver. The GPS receiver is powered by SiRF Star III technology
and RoyalTek proprietary navigation algorithm that providing you more stable
navigation data. The smallest form factor and miniature design is the best choice to be
embedded in a portable device like PDA, personal position and navigation like
personal locator, speed camera detector and vehicle locator. The excellent sensitivity
of REB-3310 gets the great performance when going though the urban canyon and
foliage.

Application Circuit
(1) Ground Planes:
REB-3310 GPS receiver needs two different ground planes. The GND_A pin(11B
12B13B14B15B16B18) shall be connect to analog ground.
The GND pin(2B10B30) connect to digital ground.
(2) Serial Interface:
The Serial interface pin(RXABTX1BTXBBRXB) is recommended to pull up(10K[).
It can increase the stability of serial data.
(3) Backup Battery:
It’s recommended to connect a backup battery to V_BAT.
In order to enable the warm and hot start features of the GPS receiver. If you don’t
intend to use a backup battery, connect this pin to GND or open.
If you use backup battery, shall need to add a bypassing capacitor (10uF) at V_bat
trace. It can reduce noise and increase the stability.
(4) Antenna:
Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must
to controlled impedance to connect RF_IN to the antenna or antenna connector of
your choice.
(5) Active antenna bias voltage:
The Vcc_RF pin (pin 20) is providing voltage 3.0V. If you use active antenna, you
can connect this pin to V_ANT_IN pin (pin 19) to provide bias voltage of active
