GPS Receiver Module

GSU-36 Series

High Accuracy
New digital signal processing IC has been developed for GSU-36.
Thanks to this new IC, accuracy of GSU-36 has improved in comparison with our prior mode.

Fast TTFF
GSU-36 has 18 channels. This contribute to faster TTFF (time to first fix), especially cold start (no data
backed-up).

1 PPS And 10kHz Pulse Synchronized With UTC Output

GSU-36 outputs 1PPS (1 pulse per second) and 10kHz pulse synchronized with UTC (Coordinate Universal
Time) with a high degree of accuracy.
Output process (outputs pulses when synchronized or outputs pulses constantly) and cable delay can be set
by command.

Firmware Selectable
Firmware for navigation and firmware for timing are selectable.
Firmware for navigation is suitable for the application which uses PVT data like car navigation system.
At the same time, firmware for timing is suitable for the application which uses time mark signal like base station.

Antenna Detection And GPS Protection Circuitry

GSU-36 detects status of antenna line (normal/short-circuit/open-circuit (optional) and outputs the status
by serial message.
In case of short-circuit, the power supply for antenna is cut automatically to protect GPS block.

Format
GSU-36 supports NMEA 0183 format and KODEN binary format.
Optionally, format can be customized on request.

Application
Car navigation system, telematics, AVL, marine, base station, time server, etc.
