Overview

The Aaronia GPS Logger (503/035) is a professional 6-sensor data logging device designed specifically for RF measurement applications. This compact 88-gram unit integrates high-end GPS positioning with digital compass, 3D accelerometer, gyro/tilt sensor, altimeter, and pressure sensing capabilities.
Key Application: Originally designed to document position and orientation of Aaronia HyperLOG antennas, this logger enables creation of detailed "RF heat maps" showing frequency, direction, and signal strength within 360 degrees.
The logger achieves exceptional data rates up to 35 logs per second with positioning accuracy of 1.8m (CEP95) and GPS sensitivity of -165 dBm. The integrated 3D compass provides 1-2 degree precision whilst the triaxial accelerometer delivers up to 4mg resolution. Operating from an internal 800mAh LiPo battery, it supports standalone operation or continuous USB connectivity for extended measurement campaigns. Data storage utilises removable microSD cards (up to 2GB) with flexible recording modes: standalone logging, real-time USB streaming, or file transfer to PC/Linux/Mac systems. The device mounts directly to HyperLOG X and EMI antennas using included adapters and screws.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a Question?

Ask 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.
