New modules add JammerGuard, increased processing power and support for multi-constellation and multi-frequency tracking.
Trimble has introduced the BD1090, BD1092, BD1092i and BX1092i GNSS receiver modules, which use Trimble Maxwell 8 technology. The receiver modules are designed for OEM integrators developing equipment for the geospatial, marine, construction and mining industries.
The BD1090, BD1092, BD1092i and BX1092i receivers use Maxwell 8 GNSS technology, which includes increased processing capacity and anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities. The technology is designed to support positioning performance in environments affected by signal interference and other GNSS challenges.
Trimble’s GNSS technology includes the Trimble ProPoint positioning engine, Trimble IonoGuard technology and Trimble RTX-NMA. ProPoint is designed to improve positioning in challenging environments, while IonoGuard addresses disruptions caused by ionospheric activity. Trimble RTX-NMA provides satellite signal authentication for anti-spoofing applications beyond Galileo.
The new receiver modules also introduce Trimble JammerGuard, which combines anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities. The anti-jamming function can operate automatically and independently, while the anti-spoofing function is designed to verify the authenticity of positioning signals. JammerGuard is designed to address a broad range of jamming conditions rather than targeting only specific jammer types.
In addition to JammerGuard, Maxwell 8-enabled receivers include the following features:
- All-in-view tracking: Increased channel capacity supports simultaneous reception across multiple GNSS constellations and frequencies. This can support positioning accuracy, signal availability and data verification.
- Upgraded processing power: A quad-core CPU and DDR4 RAM provide four times the processing power of the previous generation, supporting sensor fusion and other computational tasks.
- Performance in high-vibration environments: MEMS-based oscillators provide 10 times lower vibration sensitivity, supporting GNSS performance in applications exposed to vibration.
- Compatibility with LEO constellations: The receivers are designed to support emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, including demonstration mission signals from Xona Pulsar.
- Enhanced precision: An improved inertial measurement unit (IMU) supports positioning orientation and stability.
The new receiver modules are designed for equipment operating in environments with high shock and vibration levels. Their increased channel capacity can support the use of more satellite signals in obstructed environments, while the anti-jamming and anti-spoofing features address areas affected by signal interference.
The combination of increased processing capacity, GNSS signal tracking and interference mitigation features provides OEM integrators with options for developing positioning systems for construction, marine, mining, geospatial and other applications.
