Introducing the Quanta Micro: A Revolutionary GNSS Receiver

SBG Systems has unveiled the Quanta Micro, an innovative GNSS receiver that operates on dual frequencies and quad constellations, featuring an integrated IMU for precise centimetre-level positioning in a compact design.This miniature inertial sensor boasts an impressive performance wiht roll and pitch errors below 0.02° and heading errors under 0.06°. Weighing onyl 38 grams and measuring 50 x 37 x 23 mm, the Quanta Micro is already being utilized in the growth of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) LiDAR payloads, making it perfect for various low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) applications.

Extensive Features for Enhanced Functionality

The Quanta Micro encompasses all the advanced features found in SBG’s other inertial sensors. it includes a built-in data logger, Ethernet connectivity, a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) server, multiple serial ports, and a CAN port. The sensor is designed for ease of use, featuring a straightforward web configuration interface, and can also be set up using SBG Systems’ API or ROS drivers.

Extraordinary Heading Performance

Designed to excel in various applications,the Quanta Micro supports a dual GNSS antenna mode to enhance heading accuracy in low-dynamic scenarios. However, it also maintains outstanding heading performance in single-antenna mode, making it especially suitable for UAV payloads that cannot accommodate two GNSS antennas.

Post-Processing Capabilities with Qinertia

To optimize real-time performance, data collected from the Quanta Micro can be seamlessly post-processed using Qinertia, SBG’s proprietary Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) tool. This software effectively integrates GNSS and inertial data, allowing for a combination of forward and backward solutions. This capability ensures that centimetre-level precision is preserved even during several seconds of GNSS signal loss, while also enhancing heading accuracy to below 0.035° and roll/pitch errors to under 0.015°.

User-Amiable Processing Options

Qinertia offers a desktop version equipped with an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI),along with straightforward integration into any processing workflows via a command line interface (CLI). Additionally, it supports both private and public cloud solutions for server-based operations, catering to diverse processing needs.
