1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The GPS-6011 GPS Receiver features the revolutionary FirstGPS™ architecture. This complete enabled
GPS receiver provides high position and speed accuracy performances as well as high sensitivity and tracking
capabilities in urban canyon conditions. The GPS-6011 delivers major advancements in GPS performances,
accuracy, integration, computing power and flexibility. This positioning application meets strict needs such as car
navigation, mapping, surveying, security, agriculture and so on. Only clear view of sky and certain power supply
are necessary to the unit.
1.2 Features
1. Facilitating FirstGPS
2. High sensitivity: to -143 dBm tracking, superior urban canyon performances
3. High positioning accuracy: < 3m CEP (50%), OR <5M CEP (90%) without SA (horizontal)
4. Ultra low power: 17mA typical (without antenna) -- tracking at 3.3 Volts, full power
5. Optional communication levels, RS-232 and TTL meet ordinary use and future application.
6. A rechargeable battery sustains internal clock and memory and is recharged during normal operation.
7. Dual communication channels and user selectable baud rates allow maximum interface capability and
flexibility.
8. LED display status: The LED provides users visible positioning status. LED “ON” when power connected
and “BLINKING” when GPS-6011 got positioned. No more extra device needed.
9. Low Cost.

2. Operational characteristics
2.1 Initialization
As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GPS-6011 begins the process of satellite acquisition and
tracking automatically. Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately 120 seconds to achieve a position fix,
42 seconds if ephemeris data is known. After a position fix has been calculated, information about valid position,
velocity and time is transmitted over the output channel.
The GPS-6011 utilizes initial data, such as last stored position, date, time and satellite orbital data, to
achieve maximum acquisition performance. If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data is
obsolete, it may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The FirstGPS™ feature is to provide fast and
accurate position. However, acquisition performance can be improved when the host system initializes the
GPS-6011 in the following situation:
1) Moving further than 500 kilometers.
2) Failure of data storage due to the inactive internal memory battery.
2.2 Navigation
After the acquisition process is complete, the GPS-6011 sends valid navigation information over output
channels. These data include:
1) Latitude/longitude/altitude
2) Velocity
3) Date/time
4) Error estimates
5) Satellite and receiver status
The GPS-6011 sets the default of auto-searching for real-time differential corrections in RTCM SC-104
standard format, with the message types 1, 5, or 9. It accomplishes the satellite data to generate a differential
(DGPS) solution. The host system, at its option, may also command the GPS-6011 to output a position
whenever a differential solution is available.
