Product Datasheet
Available models

Carrier phase capability and SBAS support

The SUPERSTAR II features 12-channel code and carrier phase tracking for increased accuracy. Position, velocity, time (PVT) and raw carrier phase measurements output are available at rates of up to 5 Hertz.

The SUPERSTAR II also takes advantage of the corrections offered by SBAS systems such as WAAS and EGNOS for improved accuracy.  For precise timing applications, the
SUPERSTAR II features a 1PPS accuracy of 50 nanoseconds (typical).

Small package and low power consumption

The SUPERSTAR II, designed as a drop-in replacement for the SUPERSTAR I, fits with ease into even the smallest systems, measuring just 46 millimeters by 71 millimeters.  Available in 3.3 Volt or 5 Volt versions, the receiver also features the low power consumption of 0.5 Watts or 0.8 Watts, respectively. 

Flexible interface

The SUPERSTAR II offers a flexible command and log interface.  System integrators can choose either NovAtel’s proprietary L1 family binary format, which allows for high throughput, or the industry-standard NMEA format, to ensure compatibility.  For DGPS applications, the SUPERSTAR II features RTCM SC-104 messages.

Development kit available

To further support system design and integration efforts, the SUPERSTAR II development kit is available with the SUPERSTAR II in the FlexPak™ enclosure, a magnetic mount antenna with RF cable, a serial cable, an automotive adapter, and an AC adapter.  NovAtel’s Windows^®-based StarView^TM software is also provided, with an easy to use interface for receiver communication and configuration.
