GNSS L76

The L76 is a concurrent receiver GNSS module measuring 10.1mm × 9.7mm × 2.5mm with 33 tracking channels, 99 acquisition channels, and 210 PRN channels. The L76 can acquire and track any mix of 3 multiple satellite constallations, providing simultaneous GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS open service L1 reception capability. This increases the number of visible satellites and reduces time-to-first-fix, allowing accurate navigation in settings such as urban canyons.

The L76 combines EASY™ (Embedded Assist System for self-generated orbit prediction) with LOCUS™ (internal logger) and AlwaysLocate™ to achieve excellent accuracy with low power consumption. EASY™ allows the module to calculate and predict orbits automatically using up to 3 days of ephemeris data stored in the RAM, so it can fix position quickly and with low power consumption, even when signal levels are lower. LOCUS™ allows the module to log position information to the internal flash memory at default intervals of 15 seconds, typically providing more than 16 hours log capacity without extra cost. AlwaysLocate™ allows the L76 to adjust the on/off time adaptively to achieve balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption, according to environmental and motion conditions.

The L76’s combination of compact design, high precision and ultra-low power consumption makes it especially suited to portable applications such as industrial PDAs - it can also serve in automotive and a wide range of consumer and industrial IoT applications.
