GPS
Global Positioning System
The U.S. GNSS, a satellite-based positioning system that provides
accurate position, velocity, and time data. GPS is operated by the US
Department of Defense.
Hot Start
A hot start occurs when a receiver begins operation with known time,
position, and ephemeris data, typically after being sent a restart command.
See Restart.
LCC
Leadless Chip Carrier
A module design without pins. In place of the pins are pads of bare gold-
plated copper that are soldered to the printed circuit board.
LNA
Low Noise Amplifier
An electronic amplifier used for very weak signals which is especially
designed to add very little noise to the amplified signal.
Local Ephemeris
prediction data
Extended Ephemeris (i.e. predicted) data, calculated by the receiver from
broadcast data received from satellites, which is stored in memory. It is
usually useful for up to three days. See AGPS.
MSAS
MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System
The Japanese SBAS system.
MSD
Moisture sensitive device.
MTSAT
Multifunctional Transport Satellites
The Japanese system of geosynchronous satellites used for weather and
aviation control.
Navigation Sensitivity
The lowest signal level at which a GNSS receiver is able to reliably
maintain navigation after the satellite signals have been acquired.
NMEA
National Marine Electronics Association
QZSS
Quasi-Zenith Satellite System
The Japanese SBAS system (part of MSAS).
Reacquisition
A receiver, while in normal operation, loses RF signal (perhaps due to the
antenna cable being disconnected or a vehicle entering a tunnel), and re-
establishes a valid fix after the signal is restored. Contrast with Reset and
Restart.
Restart
A receiver beginning operation after being sent a restart command,
generally used for testing rather than normal operation. A restart can also
result from a power-up. See Cold Start, Warm Start, and Hot Start.
Contrast with Reset and Reacquisition.
Reset
A receiver beginning operation after a (hardware) reset signal on a pin,
generally used for testing rather than normal operation. Contrast with
Restart and Reacquisition.
RoHS
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances
Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment, was adopted in February 2003 by the
European Union.
RTC
Real Time Clock
An electronic device (chip) that maintains time continuously while powered
up.
SAW
Surface Acoustic Wave filter
Electromechanical device used in radio frequency applications. SAW
filters are useful at frequencies up to 3 GHz.
