SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Kit

Standard GPS gives you location data within a few meters. Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) dials that accuracy down to the millimeter. The SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Kit is the complete all-in-one GNSS package designed to get you up and running with professional-grade high-precision positioning right away.With this kit we’ve taken the guesswork out of hardware selection. We've paired our tried-and-true ZED-F9P Breakout with a reliable Multi-Band L1/L2 Antenna a robust Ground Plate and the necessary cabling. Whether you need Rover or Base modes this kit contains everything you need to achieve 10mm accuracy right out of the box.What's Inside the Kit?GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout (ZED-F9P)At the heart of this kit is the brains of the operation the u-blox ZED-F9P Module. This powerhouse receiver can simultaneously receive GPS GLONASS Galileo and BeiDou. By utilizing both the L1 and L2 frequency bands it corrects for ionospheric errors and delivers three-dimensional accuracy to within roughly the width of your fingernail.Rover & Base: Can operate as a Rover (receiving corrections) or a Base Station (broadcasting corrections).SMA Connector: Features a robust industry-standard SMA connector for a secure antenna connection.Qwiic & USB: Connects easily via USB-C or the solderless Qwiic ecosystem.Backup Battery: An on-board rechargeable battery ensures fast "warm starts" (two-second time-to-first-fix).GNSS Multi-Band Magnetic Mount AntennaA high-precision receiver is useless without the right antenna. We’ve included a high-quality Multi-Band (L1/L2/L5) active antenna specifically designed to capture the signals the ZED-F9P needs. It features a magnetic base for easy mounting to vehicle roofs or the included ground plate.GPS Antenna Ground PlateAntenna performance is heavily dependent on having a proper ground plane. We’ve included a heavy 4-inch-diameter 1/16-inch-thick steel ground plate. This simple addition significantly improves signal reception and multi-path rejection ensuring you get the best possible performance from your antenna.Easy Integration & SoftwareThe ZED-F9P is incredibly configurable (Geofencing variable update rates up to 20Hz etc.) but we've made it easy to use.No Soldering Required: With the included Qwiic connectors and USB cable you can hook everything up without touching a soldering iron.Leave NMEA Behind: We’ve written an extensive SparkFun Arduino library for u-blox modules that uses the lightweight binary interface (UBX) to read latitude longitude heading and speed over I2C saving your microcontroller's serial port for other tasks.So stop guessing which antenna pairs with which receiver. With the SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Kit we've done the heavy lifting of component selection for you. This kit provides a verified professional-grade signal chain right out of the box.
