performance range for C/N0 for all displayed L1/G1 (GPS/GLONASS) channels is
46dB to 52dB, although higher and lower values can be noted. The C/N0 for C/A and
G1 is the same. G2 is similar to P2 C/No (6 [dB-Hz] less than G1). L1P is 3dB lower
than CA, and L2 is 6dB lower than CA. A value > 50 is typical of a satellite with 50º
elevation or higher and a clear view of the sky.

CR: Costas Ratio: the estimate of maximum error in phase measurement. The Costas
Ratio value has a range of 100 to -100.

AL: Almanac. Y = almanac is available for the position solution. N = no almanac

TM: The search timeout; i.e. the number of seconds before the search for the satellite
is stopped.

 Measurements

The MEAS1B output stream contains raw measureme

nt data collected from the receiver’s

tracking channels. Measurements are tracked from both the GPS/SBAS constellation and
the GLONASS Constellation. Raw measurements can be post-processed to achieve
precise point positions.

GPS/SBAS Constellation

PRN: The satellite number assigned to each channel.

GPS: The valid range is 1-32. (The receiver allocates the range of 1-37,

with 33-37 reserved for expansion.)

SBAS: The valid range is 120-138.

CA (m): Coarse / Acquisition code. The number of meters (range measurement) to the
satellite.

L1-CA (m): The L1 frequency minus the CA measurement.
