We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "GPS receiver",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release GPS receiver combines RF and antenna modules from
TDC (Telecom Design Communications), which we summarised at the time by saying "TDC's Antenova M10214 can track up to 20 satellites simultaneously and maintain a fix at speeds of more than 500m/s".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release GPS receivers simplify the design process from
Fastrax: "The Fastrax UC322 features an innovative embedded antenna design that does not necessitate a separate large antenna ground plane".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Antenova
concerning its Radionova M10214-K1 evaluation kit
- take a look at Kit eases GPS integration
which says: "Evaluation kit provides designers and developers a complete GPS system in a box for the development of GPS enabled devices".
Take a look also at the news release from u-blox, GPS system provides a guide for golfers,
as well as GPS firmware fixes position faster from SiRF Technology,
and Acquisition adds GPS to RF expertise from Atheros Communications.
