Hardware Integration General Description NAVIOR-24S provides asynchronous serial port. NAVIOR-24S module is designed as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection, the module and the client (DTE) are connected through the following signal (as Figure II-1 shows).
Hardware Integration Connectors Digital IO/Power Connector The NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS module uses a single 20-pin (2x10) female connector for both power and data I/O. The power and I/O connector is X501. The manufacturer of this connector is Samtec, part number SFM-110-02-S-D-A.
NAVIOR-24S ™ CHAPTER II Hardware Integration Digital IO/Power Connector Pin out The digital IO/Power connector pin out information is listed in Table II-2. Table II-2 - X501 I/O Connector Signals Name Direction Description Input Prime Power (VCC) Ground signals and power...
10 μF tantalum capacitor (low ESR) with a small (0.1 μF to 1 μF) ceramic in parallel. And the capacitors should put as closer as possible to the NAVIOR-24S VCC pins. The receiver does not require any special power up or down sequencing. The receiver power is supplied through pin 1, 3 of the I/O connector.
Note – 2.0 V is the minimum allowable battery back-up voltage. When the battery back-up power output drops below 2.0 V, the real-time clock may not operate over the specified temperature range. This can also significantly extend the time to first fix. NAVIS does not recommend the use of Super Caps as battery back-up.
TTL level serial I/O. The RX and TX signals on the X501 I/O connector are driven directly by the UART on the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver. Interfacing these signals directly to a UART in your application circuitry provides direct serial communication without the complication of RS-232 or RS-422 line drivers.
NAVIOR-24S ™ CHAPTER II Hardware Integration Serial Port Connections Figure II-2 shows the Serial port connection. Figure II-2 – Serial port connection Note - If you want to use a synchronous system connect the Reset signal to pin 17 Digital IO/Power Connector Pin out of the receiver.
PPS is output immediately after main power is applied, and continues even if the receiver loses GPS clock. The drift of the PPS, when the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver is not tracking satellites, is unspecified and should not be used for synchronization.
Hardware Integration Status Signal status may be used for indicating operation modes of NAVIOR-24S receiver (for example – LED display). STATUS = «0» - when a low level is on the out of pin STATUS it means the absence of reliable 1PPS signal.

The user may change port adjustments using protocol BINR or NMEA. Using BINR packet 0Bh the user may change port adjustments (see Appendix A). SW BM_Ctrl also can be used to customize the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver configuration port settings (see Appendix В).
Software Interface Timing Applications The NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver is an excellent source for accurate system timing. Four examples of applications requiring accurate time are environmental data acquisition and synchronization of communications networks. The timing functions of the receiver are supported by the BINR protocol and the PPS signal.
The receiver automatically selects and tracks the best combination of satellites to compute position and velocity. As satellites move out of view, the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver automatically acquires new satellites and includes them in the solution set as required.
Ephemeris data changes hourly, but is valid for up to four hours. The GPS control segment updates the system almanac weekly and the ephemeris hourly through three ground-based control stations. During normal operation, the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver module updates its ephemeris and almanac as needed.
NAVIOR-24S ™ CHAPTER IV Operation and Performance GLONASS Satellite Message Satellite message is transmitted as numerical data flow encoded in Hemming code and converted into relational code. Structurally the data flow is formed as continuously repeated super frames. The super frame consists of 5 frames. The frame consists of 15 data lines.
As satellites are acquired, the receiver automatically collects ephemeris and almanac data. The NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver uses the knowledge gained from acquiring a specific satellite to eliminate other satellites, those below the horizon, from the search set.
During a warm start, the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver identifies the satellites which are expected to be in view, given the system almanac, the initial position and the approximate time. The receiver calculates the elevation and expected Doppler shift for each satellite in this expected set and directs the eight tracking channels in a parallel search for these satellites.
Operation and Performance Satellite Mask Settings Once the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver has acquired and locked onto a set of satellites, which pass the mask criteria listed in this section, and has obtained a valid ephemeris for each satellite, it will output regular position, velocity and time reports according to the selected protocol.
NAVIOR-24S ™ CHAPTER IV Operation and Performance Elevation Mask Satellites which are below a 5° elevation are not used in the position solution. Although low elevation satellites can contribute to a lower PDOP, the signals from low elevation satellites have poorer quality, since they suffer greater tropospheric and ionospheric distortion than the signals from higher elevation satellites.
5 m. In this mode an antenna coordinates must be specified and the NAVIOR-24S must be transferred in fixed position mode. It is the most exact mode as only time determination with taking a known position into account executes in the navigation task.
Operation and Performance DGNSS Operating Modes The default mode for the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver is off by Differential DGNSS Operating Mode. The receiver supports two DGNSS Modes: On, Off. The mode may be changed by issuing the appropriate BINR command (see Appendix A for details).
NAVIOR-24S ™ CHAPTER IV Operation and Performance Position Accuracy Position accuracy is degraded by atmospheric distortion, satellite geometry, satellite clock errors, and receiver clock errors. Effective models for atmospheric distortion of satellite signals have been developed to minimize the impact of tropospheric and ionospheric effects. The impact of satellite clock errors is minimized by incorporating the clock corrections transmitted by each satellite used in the position solution.
Operation and Performance Coordinate Systems After the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver achieves its first fix, it is ready to commence output of position, velocity, and time information. This information is output over serial communication channel in either the BINR or NMEA protocol, as determined by the settings of the receiver.
$PORZB (see Appendix С). Dynamic Limits The dynamic operating limits for the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver are listed below. These operating limits assume that the GPS/GLONASS module is correctly embedded and that the overall system is designed to operate under the same dynamic conditions.
GPS receivers use the signals from these GPS “clocks” to correct its internal clock, which is not as stable or accurate as the GPS atomic clocks. GPS receivers like the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver output a highly accurate timing pulse (PPS) generated by its internal clock, which is constantly corrected using the GPS clocks.
GPS time from the satellite and is obtaining fixes. The PPS is output immediately after main power is applied, and continues even if the receiver loses GPS lock. The drift of the PPS, when the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver is not tracking satellites, is unspecified and should not be used for synchronization.
PPS offset parameter of the PPS definition packet (D7h). Note – Navis has measured less than 50 nanoseconds accuracy of the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver PPS signal in static mode. For more information on timing applications, contact your Navis sales representative.
Operation and Performance System Architecture The NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS receiver uses 24 processing channels operating on the GPS L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz and using the coarse acquisition (C/A) code and GLONASS L1 frequency band of 1598,0625…1605,375 MHz and using the coarse CT code . The module uses custom integrated circuitry designed by NAVIS to track the GPS/GLONASS satellite signals.
