11. the Proper Antenna Location Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning accuracy To select the proper antenna location Place the antenna with an unobstructed view of the sky An obstructed view of the sky may impair system performance The GPS engine computes a position based on measurements from each satellite to the internal GPS receiver Mount the antenna on or as close as possible to the center of your point of measurement For example ideal antenna placement on a vehicle is the center of the cab roof assuming there is a clear view of the sky Position the antenna as high as possible Routing and Securing the Cables Consider the following when routing cables Power data cable must reach an appropriate power source Power data cable may connect to a data storage device computer or other device that accepts GPS data Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals Do not crimp or excessively bend cables Do not place tension on cables Coil up excess cable in the cab of the vehicle or near the antenna Secure along the cable route using plastic tie wraps as necessary Do not run cables near high voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter sources WENNS Improperly installed cables near machinery may cause injury or death Mounting Options The A101 allows for the following mounting options Magnetic mount Surface mount Pole mount A1
12. the available GPS satellites in view and the SBAS differential service GPS Operation The GPS receiver is always operating regardless of the DGPS mode of operation The following sections describe the general operation of the A101 s internal GPS receiver Automatic Tracking The A101 s internal GPS receiver automatically searches for GPS satellites acquires the signals and manages the navigation information required for positioning and tracking Receiver Performance The A101 works by finding four or more GPS satellites in the visible sky uses information from the satellites to compute a position within 2 5 m Since there is some error in the GPS data calculations the A101 also tracks a differential correction The A101 uses these corrections to improve its position accuracy to better than 0 6 m The two main aspects of GPS receiver performance are 1 satellite acquisition and 2 positioning and heading calculation When the A101 is properly positioned the satellites transmit coded information to the antenna on a specific frequency This allows the receiver to calculate a range to each satellite GPS is essentially a timing system The ranges are calculated by timing how long it takes for the signal to reach the GPS antenna The GPS receiver uses a complex algorithm incorporating satellite locations and ranges to each satellite to calculate the geographic location and heading Reception of any four or more GPS signals allows the rece
