WAAS GUS – Type 1 Receiver



NovAtel’s WAAS GUS-Type 1 Receiver provides multiple independent receiver sections and unsurpassed signal tracking to ensure reliable and accurate control of uplink signal generation in Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems.

Product sheet

Exceptional tracking performance

The GUS Receiver provides superior tracking of L1 and L5 geostationary satellite signals, as well as L1 and L2 GPS signal tracking, which aids in precise system timing. NovAtel’s Narrow Correlator® technology is included to enhance the reception of satellite data for highly accurate range measurements. Tracking reliability is also increased with the patent-pending SafeTrak™ technology to detect and eliminate cross-correlation.

Independent receiver sections

For flexible operation and configuration, the GUS Receiver features three independent receiver sections, each with its own dedicated antenna inputs. Each receiver section includes a primary Euro-3M card for L1 and L2 GPS tracking and a secondary Euro-L5 card, which provides L5 GEO signal tracking. Each section is configured independently through standard RS-232 serial ports. A simple but comprehensive command interface provides tight control of each receiver section.

Advanced technologies

For improved reliability and integrity, the GUS Receiver offers NovAtel’s latest advancements. This includes Signal Quality Monitoring (SQM) measurements, which allow users to monitor the quality of the incoming signal and detect satellite failures over the full ICAO threat space. In addition, digital pulse blanking on the L2 and L5 signals mitigates in-band interference from radars and pulsed DMEs.
