GPS USB Dongle with PPS

The z050 USB dongle provides an L1 Frequency GPS receiver, with NMEA protocol from a USB port and also a PPS timing output. The z050 unit is based on a GPS receiver from Trimble with 22-channel continuous tracking and high sensitivity (tracking -160dBm).

With its higher sensitivity, performance and faster startup times, the z050 module is a complete GPS receiver that generates position fixes with high accuracy in extremely challenging environments and under poor signal conditions (down to -160dBm), velocity and time data with leading edge acquisition times. In addition, the GPS receiver provides a configurable 1 PPS synchronized to GPS/UTC, typically within 25 nanoseconds (one sigma) at chipset level and an update rate up to 5Hz.

The z050 module is capable of receiving Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) corrections, including the U.S. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and the European Geostationary Overlay Service (EGNOS). GPS assistance (aGPS) is also supported.
