ANTARIS SBEKit

Sensor-Based GPS Evaluation Kit

ANTARIS® Positioning Engine

 ANTARIS SBEKit

Overview

The ANTARIS SBEKit is a ready-to-go starter kit that allows fast and easy evaluation of the ANTARIS sensor-based GPS receiver board (SBR-LS) and GPS module (TIM-LR) which support dead reckoning with gyroscope and odometer pulse signal.

Dead reckoning (DR) GPS receivers supplement the GPS information with incoming signals from a gyroscope (turn rate sensor) and from an odometer to reconstruct the traveled route through longer periods of GPS outages. The next position is calculated incrementally from the current position, measured change of heading and distance traveled. Depending on the quality of the available GPS signals, the innovative Enhanced Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm from u-blox computes the next positions accurately by using an automatically weighted mix of the GPS and sensor inputs.

The ANTARIS SBEKit contains an evaluation box with a TIM-LR GPS module and gyroscope inside, u-center, a powerful evaluation and visualization software, and accessories like antenna, power supply and serial cables. It provides an input connector for the odometer signal. The 12V car power adapter fitting into any in-car cigarette lighter jack makes road testing an easy task: Experiencing successful and accurate navigation outcome while driving through tunnels, city canyons with obstructed sky view and heavy multipath, underneath bridges and indoor or underground car parks.
