2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the DSM 132 receiver and gives an overview of
GPS, DGPS, and related information. For details of the receiver
physical specifications, see Appendix E, Specifications.
2.2 The DSM 132 Receiver
The DSM 132 receiver combines high-performance GPS reception
with a DGPS-capable receiver in a lightweight, durable, waterproof
housing. The DSM 132 receiver also contains technology which
enables WAAS/EGNOS, OmniSTAR, Thales, or Coast Guard Beacon
(MSK) real-time differential capabilities. See Figure2.1.
When the connections described above are not available, the
DSM 132RS receiver has the capability to be used as a base station for
the generation of Differential GPS (DGPS) corrections. A radio link is
needed to broadcast the corrections to rover DSM 132 units.
