Note 1
This specification has a 95% probability,
and is based on the availability of four or
more GPS satellites during three days of
locked operation with a fixed antenna
location. The temperature must remain
within a 10
°
C range between 10
°
C and
40
°
C.
Note 2
When a quartz crystal oscillator has not
been operated for a period of time, or if it
has been subjected to severe thermal or
mechanical shock, as might be
encountered during product shipment, the
oscillator may take some time to stabilize.
In most cases, the oscillator will drift and
then stabilize at or below its specified rate
within a few days after being turned on.
In isolated cases, depending upon the
amount of time the oscillator has been off
and the environmental conditions it has
experienced, the oscillator may take up to
one week to reach its specified aging rate
and to operate without significant
frequency “jumps.”
When a Hewlett-Packard GPS Receiver
is initially turned on and locked to the
GPS satellite system, it will achieve GPS
lock within 30 minutes of operation. It has
a 95% probability of meeting unlocked
(holdover) specifications after 24 hours of
warmup, followed by GPS locked for
48 hours. The longer GPS Receiver (and
its quartz oscillator) operates, the better
its stability and unlocked (holdover)
performance becomes.
