Receivers OEMStar
®
LOW COST, L1 GPS+GLONASS
RECEIVER ENHANCES SATELLITE
AVAILABILITY & POSITIONING
DESIGNED FOR INTEGRATION
The OEMStar receiver has the same form factor as NovAtel’s OEMV-1 series receivers
and uses the OEMV® style command interface. This allows you to easily integrate the
OEMStar into existing OEMV-1 series systems. The OEMStar uses SBAS corrections
from services such as WAAS and EGNOS.
MULTI-CONSTELLATION PERFORMANCE
The OEMStar features up to 14 channels of L1 GPS only, GLONASS only or combined
GPS and GLONASS code and carrier phase tracking for increased positioning
accuracy and availability. The position, velocity and time information is available at up
to 10 Hz, with a 1 PPS accuracy of 20 ns for GPS and 40 ns for GLONASS. The multi-
constellation timing feature lets a user select a primary and secondary constellation
for the timing source.
SMALL FORM FACTOR WITH LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
The OEMStar measures only 46 by 71 mm, accepts an input voltage between 3.1 and
5.25 VDC and consumes less than 500 mW. This makes the OEMStar an attractive
choice for use in handheld and battery powered applications.
CUSTOMIZING WITH API
Application Programming Interface (API) functionality is available on the OEMStar.
Using a recommended compiler with the API library, an application can be developed in
a standard C/C++ environment to run directly from the receiver platform, eliminating
system hardware, reducing development time and resulting in faster time to market.
