GPS
Location-based services are rapidly growing for portable devices
with increased demand for accurate driving directions, identifying
local landmarks, and tracking people for safety. In addition
to more traditional navigational units and tracking devices, location-based
systems are being integrated into an increasing number of mobile
handsets. SkyCross offers solutions for both assisted and
true GPS in stamped metal and helical form factors.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS) receivers use satellites in conjunction with
a reference network such as cell phone towers to quickly provide
a location. The receiver operates quickly and efficiently
because its tasks are shared with the assistance server. SkyCross
designs mobile handset antennas with added GPS capability. Handset
manufacturers enjoy increased functionality without increasing
the space allotted for the antenna or sacrificing performance.
True GPS requires the receiver to communicate directly with satellites to
determine its location. SkyCross offers
a quadrifilar helical antenna (QHA) product that maximizes performance
in a small package. The SkyCross antenna optimizes the pitch
angle, diameter, and filar length for ideal upper hemisphere right
hand circular polarization (RHCP) to locate the satellites.
