6 GNSS Satellite Navigation
The satellite receiver clock GPS180 has been designed to provide extremely precise time to its user. The clock
has been developed for applications where conventional radio controlled clocks can´t meet the growing requirements in precision. High precision available 24 hours a day around the whole world is the main feature of the
new system which receives its information from the satellites of the russian GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation
Satellite System) and the american GPS (Global Positioning System).
GPS and GLONASS are satellite-based radio-positioning, navigation, and time-transfer systems. They are
based on accurately measuring the propagation time of signals transmitted from satellites to the user´s receiver. A fully operational constellation of more than 24 satellites together with several active spares in six
(GPS) respectively three (GLONASS) orbital planes in 20183 km (GPS) respectively 19100 km (GLONASS)
over ground provides a minimum of four satellites to be in view 24 hours a day at every point of the globe.
Four satellites need to be received simultaneously if both receiver position (x, y, z) and receiver clock offset
from GPS/GLONASS system time must be computed. All the satellites are monitored by control stations which
determine the exact orbit parameters as well as the clock offset of the satellites´ on-board atomic clocks. These
parameters are uploaded to the satellites and become part of a navigation message which is retransmitted by
the satellites in order to pass that information to the user´s receiver.
The high precision orbit parameters of a satellite are called ephemeris parameters whereas a reduced precision subset of the ephemeris parameters is called a satellite´s almanac. While ephemeris parameters must
be evaluated to compute the receiver´s position and clock offset, almanac parameters are used to check which
satellites are in view from a given receiver position at a given time. Each satellite transmits its own set of
ephemeris parameters and almanac parameters of all existing satellites.
GPS was installed by the United States Department of Defense and provides two levels of accuracy: The
Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and the Precise Positioning Service (PPS). While PPS is encrypted and
only available for authorized (military) users, SPS has been made available to the general public.
GLONASS was developed to provide real-time position and velocity determination, initially for use by the
Soviet military in navigating and ballistic missile targeting. Also GLONASS satellites transmit two types of
signals: a Standard Precision (SP) signal and an obfuscated High Precision (HP) signal.
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a Chinese satellite navigation system. The second generation of the system, officially called the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and also known as
COMPASS or BeiDou-2, will be a global satellite navigation system consisting of 35 satellites, and is under
construction as of January 2015. It became operational in China in December 2011, with 10 satellites in use,
and began offering services to customers in the Asia-Pacific region in December 2012. It is planned to begin
serving global customers upon its completion in 2020.
Galileo is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that is currently being created by the European
Union (EU) through the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European GNSS Agency (GSA). The use of
basic Galileo services will be free and open to everyone.
The complete 30-satellite Galileo system (24 operational and 6 active spares) is expected by 2020. At an
altitude of 23,222 km above the Earth’s surface, the satellites require about 14 hours for one orbit.

6.1 Time Zone and Daylight Saving
GPS system time differs from the universal time scale (UTC) by the number of leap seconds which have been
inserted into the UTC time scale since GPS was initiated in 1980. The current number of leap seconds is par t of
the navigation message supplied by the satellites, so the internal real time of the GPS180 is based on UTC time
scale. Conversion to local time and annual daylight saving time can be done by the receiver’s microprocessor
if the corresponding parameters are set up by the user.

7 Mounting the GPS Antenna
WARNING!
Antenna mounting without effective anti-fall protection
Danger to life due to fall!
- Pay attention to effective working safety when installing antennas!
- Never work without an effective anti-fall equipment!
WARNING!
Working on the antenna system during thunderstorms
Danger to life due to electrical shock!
- Do not carry out any work on the antenna system or the antenna cable
if there is a risk of a lightning strike.
- Do not carry out any work on the antenna system if the safety distance
to free lines and sequential circuits is exceeded.
The GPS satellites are not stationary, but circle round the globe with a period of about 12 hours. They can only
be received if no building is in the line-of-sight from the antenna to the satellite, so the antenna/downconverter
unit must be installed in a location that has as clear a view of the sky as possible. The best reception is
achieved when the antenna has a free view of 8◦angular elevation above the horizon. If this is not possible, the
antenna should be installed with the clearest free view to the equator, because the satellite orbits are located
between latitudes 55◦North and 55◦South. If this is not possible, you may experience difficulty receiving the
four satellites necessary to complete the receiver’s position solution.
The antenna/converter unit can be mounted on a wall, or on a pole up to 60 mm in diameter. A 50 cm
plastic tube, two wall-mount brackets, and clamps for pole mounting are included. A standard RG58 coaxial
cable should be used to connect the antenna/downconverter unit to the receiver. The maximum length of cable
between antenna and receiver depends on the attenuation factor of the coaxial cable.
Up to four GPS180 receivers can be run with one antenna/downconverter unit by using an optional antenna
splitter. The total length of an antenna line from antenna to receiver must not be longer than the max. length
shown in the table below. The position of the splitter in the antenna line does not matter.
The optional delivered MBG S-PRO protection kit can also be used for outdoor installation (degree of protection: IP55). However, we recommend an indoor installation, as close as possible to the wall where the antenna
cable is entering, to minimize the risk of overvoltage damage, for example by lightning.
