CHAPTER ONE

 

1.5  ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS 

 
The following is additional information regarding the GPS RPU (Receiver Processing Unit) located 
within the GPS Time Code and Frequency Generator, and the antenna/preamp. 
 

1.5.1  ANTENNA/PREAMP 

 
The antenna/preamp satisfies performance requirements at altitudes of up to +59,000 feet. 

 
1.5.2  GPS RPU AND ANTENNA 

 
The GPS RPU (Receiver Processor Unit) and antenna/preamp set has burn-out protection which 
prevents damage from an RF signal at power densities of up to one watt at the antenna.  The RF 
signal must be 100MHz out of band.  The C/A band of 1575.42MHz has a bandwidth of 20.48MHz. 

 
1.6  FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS 

 
The following is a description of the functional characteristics of the GPS RPU. 
 

1.6.1  ACQUISITION 

 
The GPS RPU position fix, acquisition and tracking processes feature the ability to determine its 
own position (that of the antenna/preamp), not the TC&FG Module, utilizing a position averaging 
technique and assuming the unit has been set to the “AUTO,” or “DYNAMIC” mode.  See “Third 
Menu Screen” in Chapter Three of this User’s Guide for selection and an explanation of each 
MODE SELECTION using the front panel LCD and Keyboard.  Mode selection may also be made 
via the RS-232 Interface.  See the paragraph titled “Select Mode” in Chapter Four for mode 
selection using the RS-232 I/O. 
 
The GPS RPU has an eight parallel channel design capable of tracking eight satellites 
simultaneously. The module receives the L1 GPS signal (1575.42 MHz) from the antenna and 
operates off the coarse/acquisition (C/A) code tracking. The code tracking is carrier aided.  
Time recovery capability is inherent in the architecture. 
The GPS RPU is designed specifically for precise timing applications. 
 
Upon powering up the system, the unit begins a systematic search for satellites which are expected 
to be above the horizon.  In this start-up mode of operation it uses the last position data stored in the 
battery backed RAM as a starting point.  If it is in the A (Auto) mode, it will begin doing a running 
average of position fixes.  After 200 averages, the unit will have acquired its position and will 
switch automatically to the S (Stationary) mode.  The number of position averages is user selectable 
via the RS-232 I/O.  See paragraph titled “Number of Averages” in Chapter Four.
