General Data NSG-D2 Component Weights Housing and Hardware (with battery) Antenna Weights (with Rexolite Cover)

Output Power: 150 mW
Transmit Signal Length: 1.5 seconds
Temp Range: -40 to +50 Degrees Celsius
Frequency: 1611.25 to 1618.75MHz
Modulation: BPSK-modulated PRN Code
GPS Engine: μBlox 16 Channel
GPS Accuracy: +/— 10m horz, +/— 25 vert

Specified accuracy is 2.5 meters CEP and 5 meters SEP. CEP is Circular Error Probability. It is the radius of a horizontal circle, centered at the true antenna position, containing 50% of the fixes. SEP is Spherical Error Probability. It is the radius of a sphere, centered at the true antenna position, containing 50% of the fixes.

NOTE: We are turning off our GPS engine after 5 positions in a row (1 per second) are acquired with a horizontal accuracy of 5 meters or less.
