Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are integral to a wide range of devices, from critical infrastructure and military applications to consumer products like smartphones and wearables. Each device relies on a GNSS antenna and receiver to receive and process satellite signals. However, not all GNSS receivers are the same, as they can vary in terms of accuracy, cost, size, and other factors. Choosing the right receiver is crucial, especially for devices with stringent performance requirements, and it requires thorough testing.
Unlike other chipsets and devices, there is no standard for GNSS receivers to conform to, making the selection process more complex. This eBook aims to guide designers and manufacturers in choosing the right receiver for their product design. It covers the importance of choosing the right receiver, evaluating different options, and ensuring proper testing for informed decision-making.
