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.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.Compatible Antenna Systems

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
What makes this logger suitable for RF measurements?
The combination of precise positioning and orientation tracking enables creation of "RF heat maps" correlating signal strength with exact antenna position and pointing direction. This capability is essential for EMC site surveys and interference location.
-
Can data be exported to mapping applications?
Yes, the included software exports data to Google Earth KML format, Google Maps, and standard GPS formats (NMEA, GPX). Real-time USB streaming enables live position tracking on PC, Linux, or Mac systems.
-
What operating temperature range does the logger support?
Operating temperature range is -20°C to +45°C with humidity tolerance below 90% RH. The compact design (102 x 42 x 21mm) withstands shock up to 10,000g.
-
How accurate is the digital compass measurement?
The 3D digital compass delivers 1-2 degree heading accuracy across a magnetic field range of ±8 Oe. Compass calibration follows standard figure-of-eight procedure similar to smartphone compass setup.
-
What storage capacity does the device offer?
Internal microSD card storage supports up to 2GB capacity, providing approximately 2 days continuous recording at maximum data rate. Lower data rates extend recording time to weeks or months.
-
Which Aaronia antennas are compatible with direct mounting?
The logger mounts directly to HyperLOG X, HyperLOG EMI, and Magnotracker antenna series using included mounting hardware. Universal mounting adapters allow attachment to other equipment requiring only two mounting holes.
-
Can the logger operate without external power?
Yes, the internal 800mAh LiPo battery provides up to 7 hours standalone operation. Alternatively, USB power enables unlimited recording time. The device charges via the USB connection.
-
What is the positioning accuracy of the GPS system?
GPS accuracy is 1.8 metres (CEP95) with sensitivity down to -165 dBm. The system tracks position, altitude (up to 18,000m), and velocity (up to 515 m/s) with 0.1 m/s speed accuracy.
-
How fast can the GPS Logger record data?
The logger achieves up to 35 complete sensor readings per second, capturing all six sensor parameters simultaneously. This high data rate enables real-time tracking of rapidly changing positions and orientations during mobile measurements.
-
What sensors are integrated into the Aaronia GPS Logger?
The device combines six sensors: high-end GPS receiver, 3D digital compass, triaxial accelerometer, gyro/tilt sensor, barometric altimeter, and pressure sensor. This comprehensive sensor suite enables complete position and orientation tracking.
