GPS Receivers
 

GPS receivers are now a mature technology finding hundreds of applications in location and timing, with the removal of the ‘dither’ (selective availability) signal, we now enjoy dramatically improved accuracy and performance.

TDC Engineers have been involved in GPS since its commercial availability in 1991, you will find that our experience and knowledge is second to none.
The products in this section include chipsets, OEM boards and packaged GPS Systems for System Integrators.

SJGL-50 GPS Logger


Mobile GPS Data Logger/Locator Built in with Receiver & Antenna
Featuring an All-In-One GPS logging solution, the versatile device comes up with GPS Logger, Receiver & Antenna integrated into a compact case.
With a GPS logger, receiver and antenna built in a miniature construction, GL-50 features an all-in-one, cost-effective mobile GPS logging solution that frees you from the hassle of mounting any other GPS receivers and antennas. Coming up with innovative Plug-Navigate-Position concepts, GL-50 offers accurate position logging and mapping capabilities. Thanks to its plenteous flash ROM space, GL-50 allows you to record navigational data and download them to your computer, which is ideal for applications in AVL, Fleet Management System and Marine Navigational Aids.

Connecting GL-50 to your computer via the RS-232 comm port shipped with the product, you can read via your computing device, such as PC, PDA and Palmtop, the NMEA-0183 output sentences (GPRMC) collected by GL-50's receiver. This way GL-50, designed as a low profile, waterproof enclosure featuring magnetic mount and end feeding, provides you with real-time GPS position, speed, distance traveled and header information in the NMEA-0183 format.
