1SECTION 1INTRODUCTION1.1 OVERVIEWThe GARMIN GPS 35LP is a complete GPS receiver, including an embedded antenna, designed for abroad spectrum of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) system applications. Based on the proventechnology found in other GARMIN 12 channel GPS receivers, the GPS 35LP will track up to 12satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, one second navigation updates and low powerconsumption. Its far reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well asthe dynamics requirements of high performance aircraft.The GPS 35LP design utilizes the latest technology and high level circuit integration to achieve superiorperformance while minimizing space and power requirements. All critical components of the systemincluding the RF/IF receiver hardware and the digital baseband are designed and manufactured byGARMIN to ensure the quality and capability of the GPS 35LP. This hardware capability combined withsoftware intelligence makes the GPS 35LP easy to integrate and use.The GPS 35LP is designed to withstand rugged operating conditions and is completely water resistant.The GPS 35LP is a complete GPS receiver that requires minimal additional components be supplied byan OEM or system integrator. A minimum system must provide the GPS 35LP with a source of powerand a clear view of the GPS satellites. The system may communicate with the GPS 35LP via a choice oftwo RS-232 compatible full duplex communication channels (-xVS series), or two full duplex CMOSchannels (-xVC series). Internal memory backup allows the GPS 35LP to retain critical data such assatellite orbital parameters, last position, date and time. End user interfaces such as keyboards anddisplays are added by the application designer.1.2 FEATURESThe GPS 35LP provides a host of features that make it easy to integrate and use.1) Full navigation accuracy provided by Standard Positioning Service (SPS)2) Compact design ideal for applications with minimal space3) High performance receiver tracks up to 12 satellites while providing fast first fix and low powerconsumption4) Differential capability utilizes real-time RTCM corrections producing 3-10 meter position accuracy5) Internal clock and memory are sustained by a rechargeable memory backup battery. The batteryrecharges during normal operation.6) User initialization is not required7) Navigation mode (2D or 3D) may be configured by the user8) Two communication channels and user selectable baud rates allow maximum interface capabilityand flexibility9) Highly accurate one-pulse-per-second output for precise timing measurements. Pulse width isconfigurable in 20 msec increments from 20 msec to 980 msec.
