The receiver continuously tracks all satellites in view and provides accurate satellite positioning data. The GPS610F is optimized for applications requiring good performance, low cost, and maximum flexibility; suitable for a wide range of OEM configurations including handhelds, asset tracking, marine and vehicle navigation products. Its 65 parallel channels provide fast satellite signal acquisition and short startup time. Acquisition sensitivity of –148 dm and tracking sensitivity of –161dBm offers good navigation performance even in urban canyons having limited sky view. Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as WAAS and EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy. Users can modify the NMEA sentences and Binary code 1.2 Features 65 C hannel GPS L 1 C /A C od e Perform 8 million time-freq uency hyp othesis testing p er second Op en sky hot start 1 sec, cold start 29 sec Signal d etection b etter than -161d Bm Multip ath d etection and sup p ression Accuracy 2.5m C EP Maximum up d ate rate 10H z Tracking current ~23mA Provides a 10pin header to easily connect to PCB 5m CEP Accuracy RoHS compliance 1.3 Applications DS-GPS610F-1 Automotive and Marine Navigation Automotive Navigator Tracking Emergency Locator Geographic Surveying Personal Positioning Sporting and Recreation Jul 09 2009 www.rfsolutions.co.uk Page 3 GPS RECEIVER EXT ANTENNA GPS-610F 2 Characteristics 2.1 General Specification Paramet Parameter Specification 65 Channels Rec Receiver Type TimeTime-ToTo-First-Fix Fix Sensitivi Sensitivity Accuracy GPS L1 frequency, C/A Code Cold Start (Autonomous) 29s (Average, under open sky) Warm Start (Autonomous) 5s (Average, under open sky) Hot Start (Autonomous) 1s (Average, under open sky) Tracking & Navigation -161 dBm Reacquisition -161 dBm Cold Start (Autonomous) -145 dBm Autonomous 2.5 m CEP Velocity 0.1 m/sec (without aid) Time 300 ns RMS 30 ns 99% <60 ns Compensated Max Update Rate 5 15 ns Supports 1 / 2 / 4 / 5 / 8 / 10 Hz update rate (1Hz default) Veloci Velocity Accuracy Accuracy Headi eading Accuracy Accuracy Dynamics Operati ational Limits Velocity 0.1m/s 0.5 degrees 4 G (39.2 m/sec) 515 m/s (1000 knots) Altitude <18000 meters (COCOM limit, either may be exceeded but not both) RF connector MMCX Serial Interface 3.3V LVTTL level, 10 pin 2mm male header Datum Default WGS-84 User definable Input Voltage User Input Current 3.3V / 5V DC +/-10% ~36 mA tracking Dimension 43L x 31W x 6H (mm) Weight Weight 10g Table 1: GPS610F general specification *: GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMC, GPVTG are default output message DS-GPS610F-1 Jul 09 2009 www.rfsolutions.co.uk Page 4 GPS RECEIVER EXT ANTENNA GPS-610F 2.2 Serial Port Settin Settings The default configuration within the standard GPS firmware is the Standard configuration of serial port: Supporting 4800/9600 baud rate (Default Value : 9600) 9600), 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control 2.3 Improve Improved TTFF In order to improve the TTFF (Time To First Fix), GPS-610F has been built with the back-up battery (SEIKO) to support the RTC with a back-up power when no system power is available. 2.4 GPS Status Indicator NonNon-Fixed mode : LED is always on Fixed mode : LED toggle every second 6.

Particularly difficult is close-in multipath in which the reflected secondary signals arrive only slightly later (within about 100 nanoseconds) than does the direct-path signal, having been reflected from objects only a short distance from the receiver antenna. GPS610F deploys the advanced multi-path detection and suppression algorithm to reduce multipath errors, the GPS signals themselves can be designed to provide inherent resistance to multipath errors DS-GPS610F-1 Jul 09 2009 www.rfsolutions.co.uk Page 5 GPS RECEIVER EXT ANTENNA GPS-610F 2.7 Operating Conditions Description Vcc Min 2.7v Typical 3.3v Max 3.6v 4.5V 5V 5.5V Enhanced-mode Acquisition 70 mA Low power Acquisition Current 50mA Tracking Current 23mA Table 3: Operating Conditions 2.8 1PPS PPS Output put The GPS receiver is in navigation mode upon power-up, with 1PPS output free running. After 3 minutes of valid position fix and remaining under static-mode, the receiver changes to timingmode, with 1PPS output signal synchronized to the UTC second. The receiver will change to navigation-mode, with 1PPS output free running, if the receiver is in motion. The 1PPS output will become synchronized to the UTC second again after the receiver had remained in static mode for 3 minutes. 2.9 Antenna A numbers of important properties of GNSS antennas affect functionality and performance, including; Frequency coverage Gain pattern Circular polarization Multipath suppression Phase Center Impact on receiver sensitivity Interference handling The GPS610F module is designed to work both active and passive antenna. Active antenna with gain in range of 10 ~ 30dB and noise figure less than 2dB can be used. 2.10 Mechanical Characteristics Mechanical dimensions Length Width Height Weight 43 mm 31 mm 6 mm 30g (may vary) 3.
