Overview
The u-blox 5 chip family is the latest GPS technology generation from u-blox that redefines the boundaries of GPS performance,integration and cost efficiency.
A dedicated acquisition engine with over 1 million dffective corrdlators is capable of massively parallel searches across the time/frequency space.This enables satellite acquisition in under 1 second and acquisition sensitivity reaching - 160 dBm.Acquired satellites are passed on to a power-optimized correlator engine. This setup simultaneously allows the tracking of 16 satellites and the search for additional ones.The computed position is available within seconds.
The on-chip power management unit features a switch -mode DC/DC converter that optimizes power efficiency and enables having a isngle voltage source.Power needs lower than 50 mW ensure long battery times.
u-blox 5 receivers will be capable,via a simple upgrade,of receiving and processing L1 Galileo signals once they become available.The ability go perceive Galileo satellites will bring higher coverage,improved reliability and better accuracy.
Its advanced jamming suppression mechanism automatically filters signals from interfering sources,thus maintaining high GPS performance.
