1. An integrated circuit for satellite signal reception, comprising:

  • a reception circuit that receives a satellite signal from a satellite for positioning and generates a digital signal based on the satellite signal; and

    a baseband processing circuit that calculates a position based on the digital signal generated by the reception circuit, wherein each of the reception circuit and the baseband processing circuit are located on the integrated circuit,wherein the baseband processing circuit comprises, on the integrated circuit with the reception circuit,a sample memory part that stores data corresponding to the digital signal,a replica code generation part that generates replica code,a correlation calculation part that performs correlation calculation between the data stored in the sample memory part and the replica code,a correlation memory part that stores a result of the correlation calculation, anda baseband processing part,wherein the baseband processing part comprisesa satellite capture part that captures a position of the satellite based on the result of the correlation calculation, anda position calculation part that calculates the position based on the data acquired from the satellite for the positioning captured by the satellite capture part,wherein the integrated circuit has a volume of 9.33 mm3 or less, andwherein, when a signal intensity of the satellite signal is −

    162 dBm or more and −

    160 dBm or less, a time to first fix (TIFF) of the integrated circuit is 120 seconds or less.
