[time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

2018-04-02 Thread Mark Sims
I was measuring the jitter and adevs of the PPS signal from a GT-8736. GPS only seems to be slightly better (1-3 ns more span) than GPS+GLONASS. GLONASS only seems have around 50% more jitter than GPS only. Glonaas only adevs are 3 times as large as GPS only (at tau=1 seconds).

Hi A….. but ….. The uBlox parts are available with the existing chip sets pretty easily today. That has not always been the case with uBlox. Back when the chips were new / unique / hard to support it was significantly more difficult to get anything out of them (at least at a rational

I think Bob is right and knows what he is talking about.  Example Furuno GT-87, how many years have I known about it and tried to buy some, just recently became available. Bert Kehren   In a message dated 4/1/2018 10:52:50 PM Eastern Standard Time, jg...@zianet.com writes:   Bob, If it was a

Bob, If it was a glass of good bourbon, I'd take you up on that offer :-) The Broadcom chipsets are touted as being specifically for phones. Whether we'll be able to buy stand alone modules, I don't know. The uBlox chipsets have in that past been widely available at rational prices. Hopefully

Hi I’d bet a warm glass of beer ( pick up only, no free delivery ) that you will not see them in user level modules ( = something you can fire up) at a rational price ( < $500) for quite a while ( = years …). The target market is integration in self driving / autonomous vehicles. If you

Joe, I'm not sure I had much influence, but I at least try to advocate for it to become a good market, so hopefully it will be affordable. It has actually been affordable for quite some time, so going multifrequency should be the next step and with that the benefits. Cheers, Magnus On

Magnus, When I can buy one of these new, multi-frequency receivers, I'll remember to thank you :-) I wonder if any of the three will be available this year. The Broadcom chipset in phones will be nice, but I'd also like a standalone module from anyone. More fun stuff to play with. Joe Gray W5JG

I've been reading announcements by Broadcom, uBlox and ST Micro for new chipsets that will use L1, L2, L5 to provide significantly more precise positioning for every day applications like cell phone, autonomous vehicles, UAV, etc. Broadcom is claiming 30 cm, uBlox just says "centimeter level". The
