Coincidentally, I came across this earlier today when looking for some
MMIC data, perhaps it might be worth a look?...........

Hi,
I recently bought a bladeRF[1] to experiment a bit with GPS decoding.
I tried to get GNSS-SDR[2] which seems quite good, but has its flaws.
One of the things was that i cannot seem to get a fix in my environment.
One of the problems seems that my antenna position is far from optimal.
Aparently, GNSS-SDR uses only a very rudimentary acquisition technique
(at least so i have been told). Now i wonder what techniques for low SNR
acquisition are around. Would someone be so kind and give me some key
words to google for?
I also am looking to add an LNA to my reception chain, which is a
mix of a 50R antenna with 75R Coaxcable (sat coax stuff is just a lot
cheaper :-). Has anyone a recomendation for a good LNA that can be used
in a flying construction (soldering onto two back-to-back glued
connectors)?
Ie it shouldnt be a QFN or BGA. DFN works but i'd rather have something
with pins, like SC-70/SOT-323 or similar/larger.

them all out and never look at the bleeding body mangled beneath the heap
