“Jupiter” Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver
(Part No. TU30-D140-211/221/231)
Introduction
Rockwell’s “Jupiter” GPS receiver is a single-board, 12
parallel-channel receiver engine intended as a component
for an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product.
The receiver (shown in Figures 1 and 2) continuously
tracks all satellites in view, thus providing accurate
satellite positioning data. It is designed for high
performance and maximum flexibility in a wide range of
OEM configurations including handhelds, panel mounts,
sensors, and in-vehicle automotive products.
The highly integrated digital receiver uses the Zodiac chip
set composed of two custom Rockwell devices: the
“Gemini/Pisces” MonoPac. and the “Scorpio” Digital
Signal Processor (DSP). These two custom chips,
together with suitable memory devices and a minimum of
external components, form a complete low-power, highperformance
GPS receiver solution for OEMs.
Product Overview
The “Jupiter” receiver decodes and processes signals
from all visible GPS satellites. These satellites, in various
orbits around the Earth, broadcast radio frequency (RF)
ranging codes and navigation data messages. The
receiver uses all available signals to produce a highly…
