Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides information on the features and functionality of the EuroPak-15a and how it operates in the context of an SBAS system. Overview of the EuroPak-15a The EuroPak-15a is a high-performance GPS, Galileo and GEO receiver capable of receiving and tracking sixteen GPS L1, GPS L5, Galileo L1 and Galileo E5a signals.
2007-2008 time frame to validate the basic Galileo space and related ground segment. Once this In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase has been completed, the remaining satellites will be installed to reach the Full Operational Capability (FOC) in 2010. EuroPak-15a Receiver User Manual Rev 5...
Galileo operator will be able to offer certain service guarantees. This aspect of service guarantee and the commensurate liabilities is one area where Galileo is significantly differentiated from GPS. A key component in achieving this is an independent system within Galileo for monitoring the satisfactory working of EuroPak-15a Receiver User Manual Rev 5...
EuroPak-15a Enclosure The EuroPak-15a provides a hardware interface between your equipment and the NovAtel Euro-L1E5a card. Each is a rugged, sealed enclosure that provides protection against adverse environments. It has DB-9 connectors to access data and status signals.
1 straight through serial cable • A CD containing NovAtel’s PC utilities and product documentation For technical specifications on the EuroPak-15a, please see Appendix A, Technical Specifications starting on Page 110. Figure 2: EuroPak-15a Enclosure The port labelled COM2 on the back of the receiver, see Figure 2 above, connects to COM3 of the internal Euro-L1E5a card.
Digital pulse blanking involves removing or attenuating pulses in the RF signal that exceed a specified level. The EuroPak-15a provides digital pulse blanking for the GPS L1, GPS L5 signal, Galileo L1 and Galileo E5a signal paths. Digital pulse blanking reduces the negative effects of pulsed interference.
1.10 Data Communications Equipment A PC or other data communications equipment is necessary to communicate with the receiver and, if desired, to store data generated by the receiver. EuroPak-15a Receiver User Manual Rev 5...
An L5 Signal Generator is available from NovAtel, see the Aviation Group’s contact information on Page 14 to learn more. The GPS-704-X antenna is a wide band passive antenna available from NovAtel. It is designed to operate in the frequency range 1150-1650 MHz. An external LNA is required.
2.1.3.1 EuroPak-15a Enclosure The EuroPak-15a is supplied with a 12 V power adapter with a built-in slow-blow fuse for use with a standard 12 VDC power outlet. If a different supply is desired, the input range required is +9 to +18 VDC. The type of connector required to mate with the receiver’s power connector is a 4-pin LEMO socket connector labelled PWR.
Connect the antenna or signal generator to the receiver using high-quality coaxial cable, as discussed in Section 2.1.2 on Page 23. The EuroPak-15a provides a TNC female connector, which can be connected to the antenna or signal generator directly with any of NovAtel’s coaxial cables.
Strobes A set of inputs and outputs that provide status and synchronization signals are given on the EuroPak-15a. These signals are referred to as strobes. As shown in Table 2 on Page 27, not all strobe signals are provided on all receivers.
Installation consists of connecting a cable from the external oscillator to the EuroPak-15a’s external oscillator input connector. The BNC external oscillator port, labelled OSC, is used for input signals on the EuroPak-15a and for output signals on the EuroPak-15aT. See Figure 2 on Page 20.
Before operating the EuroPak-15a for the first time, ensure that you have followed the installation instructions in Chapter 2. From here on, it will be assumed that testing and operation of the EuroPak-15a will be performed while using a personal computer (PC), which allows the greatest ease and versatility.
Chapter 4. The valid commands, which are used to control the operation and data logging of the EuroPak-15a, are specified in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 provides details on the data logs that can be requested from the EuroPak-15a. It is to your advantage to become thoroughly familiar with Chapters 4 through 6 of this manual to ensure maximum utilization of the EuroPak-15a's capabilities.
