Precision GPS receiver

20 January 2010 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The OEMStar is a low-cost, L1 precision receiver from Novatel that tracks GPS and GLONASS signals, providing satellite availability for GNSS application developers. It is hardware form-factor compatible with Novatel’s Superstar II, OEMV-1 and OEMV-1G receivers. The OEMStar also uses space-based augmentation system (SBAS) corrections from services such as the wide area augmentation system (WAAS) and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS).

The OEMStar is just 46 x 71 x 13 mm in size and weighs only 18 grams, making it easy to integrate into new and existing systems and a suitable choice for both weight and size constrained applications. It accepts an input voltage between 3,3 and 5,0 V d.c. and consumes less than 750 mW of power. The module uses Novatel’s OEMV-style command interface.

GPS and GLONASS positioning and measurements are used in combination with GPS data to provide increased satellite availability for positioning in challenging environments at a cost-effective price. The OEMStar provides 14 channels of combined L1 GPS and GLONASS code and carrier phase tracking. Channels can be tailored to suit individual customer requirements, by using a software command. Position, velocity and time information is available at up to 10 Hz, with a 1 pps accuracy of 20 ns.
