GPS receiver board is easily integrated

8 October 2003 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

u-blox' ANTARIS GPS Receiver Board, the RCB-LJ, has the same form factor as the Conexant Jupiter, and allows fast and easy system integration.

The RCB-LJ is an industry standard GPS receiver board containing the u-blox TIM-LF macro component which provides the full ANTARIS performance. It is backwards compatible with the u-blox predecessor, the TIM-CJ, which allows easy plug-in integration into existing products. It supports a broad supply voltage range from 3,15 to 5,25 V and contains a full antenna supervision circuit to detect a shorted or disconnected antenna.

The RCB-LJ is powered by the 16-channel, low-power ANTARIS chipset and has the same superior GPS performance: less than 160 mW power consumption, 3 m CEP accuracy, 41 second cold start, 3,5 second hot start, high sensitivity, and a 4 Hz update rate. The RCB-LJ and all other ANTARIS products provide a time pulse output with configurable frequency up to 1 kHz and 50 ns RMS accuracy, suitable for timing and synchronisation applications. The FixNOW low-power mode allows further power reduction. The TIM-LF inside contains a programmable CPU which allows integration of custom applications and add-on features, for example a direct link to a wireless modem. For straightforward code development, u-blox offers the Software Customization Kit (SCKit).
