Description and Capabilities of the Navcore-V GPS Receiver Engine

Stewart P. Teasley, Robert M. Clark and Steven A. Gronemeyer

Abstract:	The NavCore V commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver engine, announced by Rockwell International earlier in 1991, is a high performance receiver designed to provide system integrators with the core GPS capability to support a variety of products. The NavCore V contains a five-channel GPS receiver and sufficient processing capability to support rapid acquisition, robust GPS signal tracking, and 1 HZ navigation output data. The hardware and software designs represent an evolution from prior Rockwell military GPS receiver systems with many new features added to enhance operation in the commercial environment. The paper presents an overview of the NavCore V hardware design, particularly those aspects that support the low cost manul&uring required for a commercial receiver. The software is discussed from the perspective of achieving maturity in a new commercial design. Recommendations for the integration of the engine into a variety of applications are included.
