Introduction

The SMART-AG is a high-performance GNSS receiver and antenna, capable of receiving and tracking different combinations of GPS L1 and GLONASS L1 code and carrier on a maximum of 36 channels. SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems include WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS) support is standard and offers multi-system,and frequency configurations for many application requirements. Refer to the GPS+ Reference Manual for an overview of each of the above signal types, available from our website at http://www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htm. The SMART-AG’s rear panel also features light emitting diodes (LEDs) for status indication.

The SMART-AG is a single-frequency GNSS receiver. It can optionally be GLONASS-enabled with measurements, full code and RTK positioning.

Once you connect the SMART-AG to a vehicle, it begins operating as a fully functional GNSS system. Figure 1 below shows the SMART-AG without connecting cables.
