Euro-3M

NovAtel’s Euro-3MTM features improved MEDLL® performance and signal quality measurements in a Euro format card or a durable, lightweight enclosure with optional internal high precision clock.

Product Datasheet

Available models

Standard and MEDLL® versions

Available in two software models, the standard Euro-3M includes 14 channels for tracking L1/L2 GPS signals with NovAtel’s patented Narrow Correlator® technology and four channels for wide correlator tracking of L1 GEOs. The MEDLL® version provides eight L1/L2 GPS channels and one L1 GEO channel and features a 50 percent improvement in MEDLL performance on a single card, compared to the previous multi-card 8 MHz MEDLL receiver.

Superior tracking ability

The Euro-3M includes the patent-pending SafeTrak™ algorithm, which detects and eliminates cross-correlation for added tracking reliability. In addition, the Euro-3M features bit synchronization verification, in-band digital pulse blanking on the L2 signal, and includes RFI improvements developed for the U.S. WAAS network. A DO-228 compatible RF deck offers additional protection against out-of-band RF interference.

Raw data and signal quality monitoring

The Euro-3M provides raw GPS and SBAS frame data with parity information and Signal Quality Monitoring (SQM) measurements, which can be used to monitor the quality of the incoming signal and detect satellite failures. Automatic gain control (AGC) data for the L1 and L2 signals is also provided.

Choice of platform

Designed for system integrators, the Euro-3M is available as an OEM receiver in the standard Eurocard format or housed in the rugged EuroPak™-3M enclosure. Both include three high speed serial ports and auxiliary strobe signals, including a 1PPS output. Also available is the EuroPak-3MT, which provides these same features, as well as an internal high precision clock tightly matched to GPS time, making it an ideal solution for timing applications.
