TGSS
The true ground speed sensor (TGSS) uses the principle of Doppler shift to
determine the ground speed of the vehicle or other type of equipment. A microwave
signal that is transmitted out of the sensor, reflects off the target and is received by
the sensor. When the target (terrain) is moving relative to the sensor, there is a
change in the frequency of the reflected signal (Doppler shift). The ground speed is
calculated by measuring the change in frequency.
The TGSS is enclosed in a black plastic case, which is potted to cover the electronics.
The TGSS has a short cable terminated with a connector.
