3.2 GPS Module:

Driver/DCM device includes GPS module that deliver high integrity, precision timing in

demanding applications world-wide. Support for BeiDou, GLONASS and Galileo constellations

enables compliance with national requirements. Enhanced sensitivity and concurrent

constellation reception extend coverage and integrity to challenging signal environments.

Survey-in and fixed-position navigation reduce timing jitter, even at low signal levels, and

enable synchronization to be maintained with as few as one single satellite in view.

Inbuilt GPS module include Flash memory for field upgrade. UART, SPI and DDC (I2C compatible)

interfaces provide connectivity and enable synergies with most u-blox cellular modules.

Driver/DCM device GPS module use GNSS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100, are

manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites, and are fully tested on a system level.

Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles –

Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”.

3.2.1 GPS Active Antenna:
