Pack gets to grip with GPS receiver module
The TDC GPS9543 starter pack allows fast out-of-the-box evaluation of the Leadtek 9543 GPS receiver.
The receiver module benefits from lower power consumption, Flash memory (for field upgrades), improved immunity to jamming, flexibility of active or passive antennas and highly accurate performance.
The Jupiter Pico also offers a DR option for dead reckoning.
This is particularly ideal for vehicle tracking applications requiring enhanced aiding sensors that are continuously calibrated against GPS.
On entering a highly built-up area or tunnel all view of satellites is lost, but the Pico ensures that an accurate solution can be maintained until the satellites are reacquired.
Jerry Sandys, Managing Director of TDC comments: "This tiny module uses the existing Zodiac architecture which is well known to all of our Jupiter customers.
They will be able to easily transition to the smaller, lower power module, and still take advantage of the excellent TTFF (time to fast fix) in dynamic situations provided by the ephemeris re-construction methods employed by Zodiac".
