1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Acutime 2000 GPS smart
antenna.
1.1 Overview
The Acutime 2000 is the latest in the Trimble family of GPS smart
antennas. The smart antenna allows OEMs and systems integrators to
add GPS capability to their product lines quickly and easily, without
becoming GPS experts. The Trimble Acutime 2000 GPS smart
antenna encompasses the experience of four product lines: Acutis™,
Acutime™, Acutime™ II and Palisade™.
The Acutime 2000, using Trimble’s latest GPS technology, is
designed for wireless voice and data network synchronization. It
offers precise PPS output, event input, and also supports long cable
runs.
The Acutime 2000 is composed of a set of matched subsystems. This
ensures optimal GPS performance, long-term reliability, ease of
operation, and easy integration.
The Acutime 2000 houses the GPS receiver, antenna, power supply,
interface and other support circuitry in a single enclosure that mounts
like an antenna. As a sealed, shielded, self-contained unit with a
digital interface, the Acutime 2000 eliminates most of the difficulties
associated with integrating GPS. Once power is applied, the
Acutime 2000 self-initializes, acquires satellite signals, and computes
position and time, automatically outputting this data to the host
system.
