Introduction

The Trimble® Copernicus® II GPS receiver delivers proven performance and Trimble quality for a new generation of position-enabled products. It features the TrimCore™ navigation software for extremely fast startup times and high performance in foliage canopy and urban canyon environments.

The Copernicus II is fully compatible with all applications using previous generation of Copernicus module. The Copernicus II module is a complete 12-channel GPS receiver in a 19 mm × 19 mm × 2.54 mm thumbnail-sized module. The module is packaged in tape and reel for high speed pickand- place manufacturing processes; 28 edge castellations provide RF and I/O interface without the need for connectors. Each module is manufactured and tested to Trimble's highest quality standards.

The sensitive Copernicus II GPS receiver can autonomously acquire GPS satellite signals and quickly generate reliable position fixes in extremely challenging environments and under poor signal conditions. The unit also accepts aided GPS (A-GPS) data for faster startups in very weak conditions.

In Stationary Mode the Copernicus II GPS receiver can produce an accurate and stable PPS with an indoor antenna

Features include:

  • Self survey
  • TRAIM on clock and frequency
  • Noise filter to reduce PPS variance

The Copernicus II GPS module is a complete drop-in, ready-to-go receiver that provides position, velocity, and time data in a user's choice of three protocols. Trimble's powerful TSIP protocol offers complete control over receiver operation and provides detailed satellite information. The TAIP protocol is an easy-to-use ASCII protocol designed specifically for track and trace applications. The bi-directional NMEA 0183 v3.0 protocol offers industry-standard data messages and a command set for easy interface to mapping software.

Applications

Compatible with active or passive antennas, the Copernicus II GPS receiver is perfect for portable hand-held, battery-powered applications. The receiver's small size and low power requirement make it ideal for use in portable appliances, sport accessories, personal navigators, cameras, computer, and communication peripherals, as well as vehicle tracking, navigation, and security applications.
