1.1 OVERVIEW
The GARMIN GPS 35/36 is a complete GPS receiver,
including an embedded antenna, designed for a broad
spectrum of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) system
applications. Based on the proven technology found in
other GARMIN 12 channel GPS receivers, the GPS 35/36
will track up to 12 satellites at a time while providing fast
time-to-first-fix, one second navigation updates and low
power consumption. Its far reaching capability meets the
sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well as the
dynamics requirements of high performance aircraft.
The
GPS 35/36
design utilizes the latest technology and
high level circuit integration to achieve superior performance
while minimizing space and power requirements. All critical
components of the system including the RF/IF receiver
hardware and the digital baseband are designed and
manufactured by GARMIN to ensure the quality and
capability of the GPS 35/36. This hardware capability
combined with software intelligence makes the GPS 35/36
easy to integrate and use.
The GPS 35/36 is designed to withstand rugged operating
conditions and is completely water resistant. The GPS 35/
36 is a complete GPS receiver that requires minimal
additional components be supplied by an OEM or system
integrator. A minimum system must provide the GPS 35/36
with a source of power and a clear view of the GPS
satellites. The system may communicate with the GPS 35/
36 via a choice of two RS-232 compatible full duplex
communication channels. Internal memory backup allows
the GPS 35/36 to retain critical data such as satellite orbital
parameters, last position, date and time. End user interfaces
