Thales Alenia Space has signed a contract with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute to supply a satellite navigation system known as the Korea Augmentation Satellite System.

The latest TCXO design launched by IQD delivers two new models housed in ultra-miniature 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.45 mm hermetically sealed ceramic packages that are amongst the smallest available on the market. The IQXT-350 series is a standard TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) whilst the IQXT-351 series version offers full VCTCXO (Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) functionality.

Smiths Microwave Subsystems is pleased to announce that TRAK has released the 8836 series tactical GPS Time and Frequency System. The design approach integrates a ground-based GPS receiver module (GB-GRAM), a rubidium oscillator, time and frequency signal generation, and control/status circuitry in a compact, ruggedized enclosure.

IZT GmbH expands its powerful RF receiver family introducing the IZT R5000. The next generation of high performance receivers combines up to 100 MHz instantaneous bandwidth with the proven excellent RF performance of the legacy IZT receivers. The R5000 covers the frequency range between 9 kHz and 18 GHz.

Mercury Systems Inc. announced it received a $2.4 million follow-on order from a leading defense prime contractor for high-performance GPS Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM) for a precision guided munitions application.

GPS personal tracking device shipments will more than double by 2021 with a 21 percent CAGR as the industry shifts away from traditional markets, such as family and pet locator devices. ABI Research predicts that non-traditional markets including elderly/health, corporate, and personal asset tracking will embrace ubiquitous indoor and outdoor location technology.

New technologies on display at IMS2016 will include ETL’s range of products for Global Positioning System (GPS) and the broader Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications. The new range includes outdoor and indoor GPS over Fibre and GPS Splitter units, which provide a reliable method for distributing GPS timing signals from a single antenna.

ARC Technologies will be presenting solutions for RF & Electromagnetic Interference at the upcoming RFID Journal Live! event taking place May 3-5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

VectorNav Technologies introduced the VN-360 GPS-Compass heading and position sensor. The VN-360 is an OEM GPS-Compass module that provides an accurate, True North heading solution for systems integrators seeking a reliable alternative to magnetic-based sensors.
