The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by anyone with a GPS receiver. Using the receiver, you can determine your location with great precision. The satellites are positioned so that we can receive signals from six of them nearly 100 percent of the time at any point on Earth.

Although GPS was designed for military use, many thousands of civi lians make use of it. The satellites actually broadcast two signals, one is only formilitary use, and the ther can be used by both military and civilians. Since GPS is passive (you only need to receive the signal), there are no restrictions on who can use the signal available to civilians.

It features small size, low power consumption, and ease of use. The HI-203E is optimized for good performance and low cost. Its 12 parallel channels and 4000 time/frequency search bins provide very fast signal lock-on and rapid time to first fix.

1.2 Features • 12 parallel channel GPS receiver • 4000 simultaneous time-frequency search bins • Better than -135dBm sensitivity • < 10 second hot start • < 45 second cold start • 5m CEP accuracy...
SECTION 2 RECEIVER OPERATION Upon power up, after initial self-test has completed, the HI-203E will begin satellite acquisition and tracking process. Under normal open-sky condition, position-fix can be achieved within approximately 35 seconds (within 10 seconds if valid ephemeris data is already collected from recent use).

• Time • DOP error-magnification factor • GPS signal tracking status The HI-203E will perform 3D navigation when four or more satellites are tracked. When three or fewer satellites are tracked, altitude-hold is enabled using the last computed altitude and 2D navigation mode is entered.

1usec in duration. Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec with respect to the start of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one-pulse-per-second output is maintained only when the GPS receiver has valid position fix. The 1PPS output is always generated when the GPS receiver is powered-on.
Page 17
As long as enough satellite signals are received to generate valid position fixes, the 1PPS output remains synchronized to the GPS second, and the 1PPS Valid Signal remains active. If signal blockage prevents the receiver from generating valid position fix, the 1PPS output will drift away from the GPS second and the 1PPS Valid Signal will become inactive.

DOP Mask: Receiver Operating Mode: Commands can be issued to the HI-203E to change the settings of the receiver. The new settings will remain effective on next power-on as long as the on-board rechargeable backup battery is not discharged. After the backup battery is discharged, factory preset default settings will be used.
