JP13-LP - High sensitivity 20 channel GPS receiver

The FALCOM JP13 Family

Wireless and handheld applications make rigorous demands on GPS; receivers are pushed to get fixes in places never before expected in time measured in only seconds. FALCOM has risen to the challenge with the JP13-LP. This is GPS based on three generations of experience that includes getting customers from IP to production in the shortest time, developing IP based on production worthy silicon, and creating a chipset that goes far beyond the FCC's E911 mandate.

The JP13-LP has the performance required to meet the industry's toughest challenges. The 200.000+ effective correlators allow the JP13-LP to acquire in only seconds even in low signal levels. As part of SiRF's patented multi-mode GPS the JP13-LP can acquire signal levels as low as -159 dBm.

The JP13-LP supports real-time navigation in urban canyons as well as high sensitivity acquisition needed for indoor environments. With power management and lower consumption from the 0.13u CMOS process, the JP13-LP can get a fix in a fraction of a joule.
