Abstract
A GPS receiver device can include at least one radio frequency (RF) chip implementing at least three RF modules configured to process RF signals received over at least three RF channels. Each RF module can be associated with a respective RF channel. Each RF module can include (1) a frequency demultiplexer and (2) at least two parallel circuits coupled to the frequency demultiplexer. Each of the parallel circuits can include (i) a RF amplifier connected to a respective output port of the frequency demultiplexer and (ii) an analog bandpass filter connected in series to the RF amplifier. The GPS receiver device can include a circuit board on which the at least one RF chip is mounted. The circuit board can have a breadth (e.g., length, width, or diameter) less than or equal to 1.65 inch.
