Description
The GP4020 is a complete digital baseband processor
for a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. It
combines the 12-channel correlator function of the
GP2021 with an advanced ARM7TDMI (Thumb)
microprocessor to achieve a higher level of integration,
reduced system cost, reduced power consumption and
added functionality. The GP4020 complements the
GP2015 and GP2010 C/A code RF downconverters
available from Zarlink Semiconductor.
• Compatible with GP2015 and GP2010 RF Front Ends
Applications
• GPS Navigation Systems
• GPS Geodetic Receivers
• Time Transfer Receivers
• Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
• E911 Emergency Positioning
The correlator section contains 12 identical tracking
module blocks, one for each channel. Each channel
contains all the components necessary for acquiring
and tracking the received signal, and also contains
other functional blocks, which are used to produce part
of the measurement data set. Individual channels may
be deactivated for systems not requiring full 12-channel
operation and thus allowing for reduced power
consumption and processor loading.
