A New Highly Integrated P-Code High Dynamics GPS Receiver For Test And Training Range TSPI Applications

Robert E. DeCaro

Abstract:	Interstate Electronics Corporation (IEC) has developed a new improved High Dynamic GPS P-Code Receiver which supports a wide variety of test and training range TSPI applications. This paper presents IEC’s new receiver design which radically reduces weight, size, cost and power consumption, while offering enhanced performance and standard features such as aided/unaided navigation. This new design is compatible with IEC’s existing family of input/output (RS-422/232, 1553, and &bit parallel) interfaces, and solid state data recorder circuit card assembly, and can be easily repackaged to fit within a l/4 air transport rack (ATR) chassis. Architecture and implementation of the new receiver will be discussed. New features, such as a precise position service-security module (PPS-SM) have been added to this receiver family, to allow it to remain unclassified when keyed for P-code applications, while the use of ultra-large scale integrated (ULSI) circuitry and modern 32-bit microprocessors allows this new receiver to easily meet military specifications for continuous extended temperatures for airborne operation, reserve throughput and memory, and achieve high MTBF.
