NAELCOM has produced a new GPS receiver board,
the “NLC-iQ”,
which is based on the Copernicus™ high
performance GPS chip set. |
| This OEM module is designed for use in embedded and industrial applications
requiring high accuracy positioning and timing information. |
| It can also be used as a replacement and upgrade for users of the Trimble
Lassen™ iQ receiver
module. |
| The NLC-iQ module is RoHS (lead free) compliant. |
- Ultra-high sensitivity of -160dBm (-190dBw), enabling high
performance acquisition and tracking in urban canyon and signal obscured
environments.
- SBAS support (WAAS, EGNOS), for improved Horizontal and Altitude accuracy.
- Cold Start Time to First Fix (TTFF) is quicker than 38s.
- Low power consumption: 37mA @ 3.3V (without antenna).
- The 2 ports that can be configured to suit the customer’s
requirements such as: input and output protocols (TSIP, NMEA, TAIP)
and transmission speed.
- Configuration parameters backed-up to an EEPROM.
- Pin to pin compatible with Trimble Lassen™ iQ GPS
receiver; same form factor, for ease of integration.
- Protection against open and/or short circuit on the antenna,
and alarms reported through serial port.
- Accurate pps (pulse per second signal), better than 60ns.
- Overvoltage protection on Antenna input.
