A1029-C Miniaturized GPS Module
Providing accurate PVT (Position, Velocity and Time) information and fully equipped
with almost countless functions and features, the A1029-C is the flexible GPS receiver
module from Tyco Electronics. WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS is supported in order to improve
position accuracy and assisted GPS data is received via serial interface to cut down
start up times. In situations where the satellite signals are blocked, sensor signals that
are connected to the module with a minimum of effort will help to further calculate
positions (Dead Reckoning). Furthermore, the A1029-C offers an accurate one pulse
per second (1PPS) signal synchronized to Universal Time (UTC).

1) Assumes a benign multipath environment and differential corrections once
per second.
2) The receiver’s calibrated clock is not stopped, thus it knows precise time
(to the
µs
level).
3) The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and valid almanac and ephemeris
data.
4) The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and almanac.
5) The receiver has no estimate of time/date/position, and no recent almanac.
6) An external current limiter is suggested to avoid damage in fault conditions.
