Capable of 10mm three-dimensional positioning accuracy with RTK corrections, this kit is ideal for precision navigation, surveying, and autonomous vehicle applications.\n\nThe ZED-F9P simultaneously receives GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou signals on both L1 and L2 bands. It supports both rover and base station modes — in survey-in mode, the module can produce RTCM 3.x correction data for other receivers. The kit includes a multiband magnetic mount antenna, ground plate for improved performance, and a USB cable.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n10mm RTK Accuracy – Centimetre-level 3D positioning (2.5m without RTK)\n\nMulti-Constellation – GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou simultaneously\n\nDual-Band Reception – L1C/A and L2C for faster convergence and better accuracy\n\nRover & Base Station – Supports both modes with RTCM 3.x output\n\n5 Active Communication Ports – USB-C, UART1, UART2 (RTCM), I2C (Qwiic), and SPI\n\nUp to 25Hz Navigation – PVT at 25Hz, RTK at 20Hz\n\nQwiic I2C Interface – Plug-and-play with no soldering, plus 0.1\" header pins\n\nSMA Antenna Connector – Robust, threaded connection for external antennas\n\nRechargeable Backup Battery – Warm-start capability, 2-second hot fix time\n\nGeofencing & Configurable – Variable I2C address, update rates, and more\n\n\nZED-F9P Specifications\n\n\nVoltage – 5V or 3.3V (3.3V logic)\n\nCurrent – 68–130mA (varies with constellations)\n\nTime to First Fix – 25s (cold), 2s (hot)\n\nMax Altitude – 50km\n\nMax Velocity – 500m/s\n\nBoard Size – 43.5 × 43.2mm\n\nWeight – 6.8g\n\n\nAntenna Specifications\n\n\nL1 Band – 1559–1606MHz, 3.5dBic peak gain\n\nL2/L5 Band – 1197–1249MHz, 0–2.0dBic peak gain\n\nImpedance – 50 Ohm, RHCP polarisation\n\nCable – 5m coaxial with SMA connector\n\nMounting – Magnetic base with M4 screw mount option\n\nDimensions – 60 × 82 × 22.5mm (175g including cable)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPrecision surveying and mapping\nAutonomous vehicle and drone navigation\nRobotics and precision agriculture\nBase station and RTCM correction networks\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout – ZED-F9P (Qwiic)\n1× GNSS Multi-Band Magnetic Mount Antenna – 5m (SMA)\n1× GPS Antenna Ground Plate (4\" diameter)\n1× Reversible USB-A to USB-C Cable (0.8m)\n\n\nResources\n\nHookup Guide\nZED-F9P Datasheet (PDF)\nUBX & NMEA Protocol Manual (PDF)\nIntegration Manual (PDF)\nSchematic (PDF)\nArduino Library (GitHub)\nHardware Repository (GitHub)\nAntenna Product Summary (PDF)\nRTK Antenna White Paper (PDF)\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1975,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-KIT-18292","price":772.31,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
