J3 – NEW CHARACTERISTIC SIZE IN THE GPS MARKET

The Jupiter 3 is the first GPS module in the new ultra-small form factor of just 11 mm x 11 mm. The new SMD format also forms the basis for the next generation of NAVMAN GPS modules.
The J3 is not only one of the best GPS technologies available, but also provides more flexibility in the design of ever smaller, more efficient and lower cost products with GPS functionality.
One of the keys to its versatility is its possible support of existing voltage control and monitoring or real-time clock functions in the target platform into which it is to be integrated. This is evident in the space requirement and costs for GPS with the same components which define the quality of the GPS such as TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator), LNA (low noise amplifier) or SAW (surface acoustic wave) filters featuring in the J3 as in time-tested NAVMAN receivers.

The Jupiter 3 is a 20-channel receiver with effectively 200,000 correlators for maximum GPS accuracy in both aided (assisted) and autonomous mode. With dimensions of just 11 mm x 11 mm x 2.2 mm it will fit into the smallest consumer and commercial devices. The module uses the same software interface as the popular NAVMAN Jupiter xLP products thus making it easy to change from previous Jupiter xLP designs.

* 20-channel GPS receiver with 200,000 effective correlators
* Ultra low power, 11.5 mA*
* High sensitivity, -159 dBm
* Assisted GPS supported (SiRF InstantFix and Ephemeris Push)
* SBAS supported (WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS)
* Power saving modes supported


*) 2.75 V, ATP 1 Hz 200 ms on time RMC message only at 57600 baud


NAVMAN GPS module J3-30
On the basis of the new J3 there is now also the J3-30 which is compatible with the Jupiter 30xLP in terms of pins and functions. The easy change will be worthwhile for Jupiter 30xLP customers since the compatible alternative offers better cold start sensitivity and is based on the latest Firmware 3.5.

Bilder J3-30, bitte statt dem Modul ein Centmünze oder so  - es geht darum, dass das Modul (silbernes Kästchen) sehr unansehnlich ist und wir eigentlich nur verdeutlichen möchten, dass das Modul eine Größe von 11mm x 11mm hat) es kann auch was anderes sein, muss nicht unbedingt eine Centmünze sein.

Please feel free to request detailed documentation.
