Recommendations for a Generic Receiver Interface

Kumar Babu, Wendell R. Brooks, John P. Kovach, and Greg M. Robbins

Abstract:	A proliferation of GPS receivers both in terms of the number of models and in terms of the number of manufacturers has resulted in a plethora of data formats and Maces that have caused confusion not only to the non- technical user but to the sophisticated user. Furthermore, many OEM vendors do not provide all the information that is available: this prevents users from get&g themaximum benefit out of the systems they purchase. If the full potential of GPS is to be realized there is a need for defining and ad ’ an adequate and generic interface. Del F orte has worked with a number of OEM vendors and with a ti&y of end users and is fully familiar with the problems caused by the lack of a genetic receive intetface. The paper discusses the issues involved, and recommendsthe M that need to be address byanyintecfacestandardcommiaee.
