Multi-Sensor GPS Data Logging System
The Aaronia GPS Logger (503/035) represents the world's first standalone data logger integrating six cutting-edge sensors within an ultra-compact 88-gram package. This professional-grade instrument was specifically developed for RF measurement applications where precise position and orientation documentation is critical.Integrated Sensor Suite
| Sensor Type | Specification | Resolution/Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Receiver | 66 Channel, -165 dBm sensitivity | 1.8m (CEP95) |
| Digital Compass | 3D/Triaxial, ±8 Oe range | 1-2 degree precision |
| Accelerometer | 3D/Triaxial, ±2/4/8g ranges | 4mg resolution |
| Gyro/Tilt Sensor | 3D/Triaxial, ±2000 °/sec | 14 LSB per °/sec |
| Altimeter/Pressure | 260-1260 mbar range | 20cm height resolution |
| Temperature | -20°C to +45°C range | Environmental monitoring |
High-Speed Data Acquisition
The logger achieves exceptional data rates up to 35 complete sensor readings per second, capturing all parameters simultaneously with microsecond-accurate timestamps. At maximum rate, the system generates approximately 50MB/hour of uncompressed data, enabling detailed analysis of rapid position and orientation changes during mobile RF measurements. Performance Highlight: The 35 logs/second rate is unmatched in the GPS logging industry, providing real-time tracking capabilities essential for dynamic RF measurement scenarios.
RF Measurement Integration
Originally designed for Aaronia's antenna systems, the GPS Logger creates comprehensive "RF heat maps" by correlating signal measurements with precise position and orientation data. The tilt sensor and digital compass enable accurate documentation of antenna inclination and azimuth during field strength measurements.GPS Logger mounted on HyperLOG antenna during field measurement
