AGE-1

Capability
The AGE-1 Antenna features 14 channels for L1 code and phase tracking, as well as 2 dedicated channels for Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signals and 1 dedicated channel for L-Band signals.  It provides measurement or position data at up to 20Hz, and can provide a 1PPS signal to within 20ns (typical).

Integration
The AGE-1 Antenna integrates a GPS receiver, an L-Band receiver and an antenna in a single, rugged housing. This product is available with an RS-232 or RS-422 interface, as well as support for either CAN or USB.  The AGE-1 Antenna is designed to meet or exceed MIL-STD-810F specifications.

Corrections
The AGE-1 Antenna includes standard support for SBAS corrections provided by WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS. An integrated L-Band capability also allows for corrections from the Canadian DGPS (CDGPS) service, and subscription-based corrections for an OmniSTAR VBS solution.  The AGE-1 Antenna is compatible with RTCM differential corrections.

Customization
The AGE-1 Antenna includes an option for Application Programming Interface (API) functionality. The API allows for an application to be developed to run directly on the receiver which can result in reduced system hardware, a reduction in development time, and quicker time to market.
