1.1 Functional Overview
The
TIM-5H
module
is
a
self-contained
GPS
and
GALILEO
receiver
featuring
the
high
performance
50-channel
u-blox
5
positioning
engine.
TIM-5H
provides
exceptional
GPS
performance
in
a
compact
form
factor
and
at
an
economical
price.
u-blox
5
sets
a
new
standard
in
GPS
receiver
technology.
A
32-channel
acquisition
engine
with
over
1
million
effective
correlators
is
capable
of
massive
parallel
searches
across
the
time/frequency
space.
This
enables
a
Time
To
First
Fix
(TTFF)
of
less
than
1
second,
while
long
correlation/dwell
times
make
possible
the
best-in-class
acquisition
and
tracking
sensitivity.
Once
acquired,
satellites
are
passed
on
to
a
dedicated
tracking
engine.
This
arrangement
allows
the
GPS
engine
to
simultaneously
track
up
to
16
satellites
while
searching
for
new
ones.
u-blox
5’s
advanced
jamming
suppression
mechanism
and
innovative
RF
architecture
provide
a
high
level
of
immunity
to
jamming,
ensuring
maximum
GPS
performance.
u-blox
5
has
been
designed
to
be
able
to
support
the
GALILEO
system
currently
being
developed
by
European
authorities.
The
capability
of
receiving
GALILEO
L1
signals
will
provide
increased
coverage
and
even
better
positioning
accuracy
when
this
system
comes
into
operation.
With
the
TIM-5H
the
complete
signal
processing
chain
from
antenna
input
to
serial
output
is
contained
within
a
single
component.
TIM-5H
maintains
the
compact
25.4
x
25.4
mm
form
factor
of
the
highly
successful
TIM-4
series,
and
has
been
designed
with
backwards
compatibility
in
mind,
enabling
ease
of
upgrade
and
reducing
engineering
and
design
costs.
This
full-feature
and
highly
flexible
GPS
and
GALILEO
receiver
is
ideal
for
upgrading
existing
designs
based
on
the
industry
standard
TIM
form
factor.
The
packaging
makes
expensive
RF
cabling
obsolete,
with
the
RF
input
being
available
directly
on
a
pin.
The
TIM-5H
is
SMT
solderable
and
can
be
handled
by
standard
pick
and
place
equipment.
The
TIM-5H
comes
equipped
with
2
serial
ports,
which
can
handle
NMEA
and
UBX
proprietary
data
formats.
The
FLASH
EPROM
provides
the
capacity
to
store
user-specific
configuration
settings
as
well
as
future
software
updates.
The
TIM-5H
module
is
RoHS
compliant
(lead-free).
The
TIM-5H
GPS/GALILEO
receiver
module
is
not
designed
for
life
saving
or
supporting
devices
or
for
aviation
and
should
not
be
used
in
products
that
could
in
any
way
negatively
impact
the
security
or
health
of
the
user
or
third
parties
or
that
could
cause
damage
to
goods.
