1.3 Receiving Unit Specifications
Receiver type : L1 frequency, C/A Code, 20-channel
Max up-date rate : 1 sec
Accuracy (SA off) : Position < 10m 3DRMS
3D Tracking Sensitivity : -156dBm at the receiver input(typical)
Operational Limits : Altitude < 18,000m (60,000ft)
Velocity < 515m/s (1,000knots)
Time To First Fix (TTFF)
a) Cold Start 60sec (typical)
In a ‘Cold Start’ scenario, the receiver has no knowledge of position, time or the satellite
constellation. The receiver starts to search for signals blindly.
Cold start time is the longest startup for this module
b) Warm Start 40sec (typical)
In a ‘Warm Start’ scenario, due to a backup battery the receiver knows its last poison,
the approximate time and the constellation almanac.
Thanks to this it can quickly acquire satellites and gat a position fix faster then in ‘Cold
Start’ mode.
c) Hot Start < 3sec (typical)
In a ‘Hot Start’ scenario, the receiver has been powered off for less then 2 hours since
the last valid navigation solution. The GPS uses its last Ephemeris data to calculate a
position fix.
Re-acquisition time 5sec typical (within 60sec GPS signal obstruction)
1.4 Protocols
NMEA 0183 (default) 9600bps
Activated message : GGA,GSA,GSV, RMC all with checksum enabled
User programmable setting for baud rate, NMEA & Interval time
by user define message setting Command. (see 2.3 Serial Interface Setting)
