Performance Benchmark Of IBM Receiver

Stacey D. Lyle and Matthew Wilson

Abstract:	This paper evaluates the expected performance of the IBM GPS Receiver based on the silicon germanium (SiGe) front-end. Southern Polytechnic State University and the University of Georgia (SPSU/UGA) received a prototype GPS Chipset for research and development project. A benchmark test was conducted to evaluate the products performance and technical value. This paper includes a description of test results in a laboratory and field environment, which compares the tracking performance of the GPS Receiver against its specifications. Also included in the paper is a zero baseline test at standard collection rates and high collection rate to study the code stability. SPSU/UGA will summarize with the receiver’s usage in research and development by the university. A conclusion will be drawn about the receiver’s possible applications.
