GPS XPRESS™ CARD 8-CHANNEL RECEIVER
The KLN 35A uses an AlliedSignal GPS receiver known as the GPS
Xpress™ card. It was dubbed this way because it is identical in size
to an everyday credit card, and its faster acquisition time than
previous single-channel designs. The GPS receiver has eight paral-
lel channels, which means each channel can continuously track a
satellite, for continuous tracking of up to eight GPS satellites. The
parallel receiver design has several advantages:
• Excellent performance during high dynamic conditions (high
velocity and/or acceleration).
• Improved position acquisition time (also known as time-to-first-
fix) over single-channel designs.
• Improved position accuracy.
