2 General description of what GPS is and how it w orks. GPS (Global P ositioning System) is the only system today able to show you your exact position on the Ear th anytime, in any weather , anywhere. GPS satellites, 24 in all, orbit at 11 ,00 0 na uti cal mil es a bove t he E ar th . Th ey ar e co nti nuo usl y m oni to red by gr oun d s tat ion s[...]

3 Although GPS was designed f or militar y use, many thousands of civi lians make use of it. The satellites actually broadcast two signals, one is only formilitar y use, and the ther can be used b y both militar y and civilians. Since GPS is passive (you only need to receive the signal), there are no restrictions on who can use the signal availab l[...]

8 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 O VER VIEW F ast Acquisition Enhanced Sensitivity 12 Channel GPS Sensor Module The HI-204E is a compact all-in-one GPS module solution intended for a broad r ange of Original Equipment Manuf acturer (OEM) products, where fast and easy system integration and minimal de velopment risk is required. The receiver continuousl[...]

9 Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as W AAS and EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy . Both the L VTTL-level and RS232-le vel ser ial interface are provided on the interface connector . Supply voltage of 3.3V , or 3.8V~12V are suppor ted. 1.2 Features • 12 parallel channel GPS receiver • 4000 simultaneous time-frequency sea[...]

10 SECTION 2 RECEIVER OPERATION Upon power up, after initial self-test has completed, the HI-204E will begin satellite acquisition and tracking process. Under nor mal open-sky condition, position-fix can be achieved within appro ximately 35 seconds (within 10 seconds if valid ephemeris data is already collected fr om r ec en t us e) . Af te r r ec [...]

11 As soon as GPS signal is acquired and trac ked, the HI-204E will transmit valid navigation information through its ser ial interface . The navigation data contains follo wing information: • Receiver position in latitude , longitude, and altitude • Receiver v elocity • Time • DOP error-magnification factor • GPS signal tracking status T[...]

15 3.3 ONE-PULSE-PER-SECOND (1PPS) OUTPUT The one-pulse-per-second output is provided f or applications requir ing precise timing measurements. The output pulse is 1usec in duration. Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec with respect to the star t of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one-pulse-per-second output is maintained only w[...]

16 As long as enough satellite signals are received to generate valid position fixes , the 1PPS output remains synchroniz ed to the GPS second, and the 1PPS V alid Signal remains active . If signal bloc kage prevents the receiv er from generating valid position fix, the 1PPS output will drift awa y from the GPS second and the 1PPS V alid Signal wil[...]
