Technical Specifications for Dual

Frequency GNSS:

GNSS Tracking: GPS: L1, L2, L2C GLONASS: L1, L2

GPS L5: As on date there are four satellites which are already transmitting L5 signal and IOC of L5

will be there by Year 2014. What GPS L5 brings is the capability to increase accuracy, longer baseline length,betterionospheric models which affects the overall survey. Also now a days almost all reputed

manufacturers of GPS are providing GPS receivers including L5 frequency. Even our Indian

Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) also transmit the L5 signal

It is therefore requested that L5 frequency may please be added over and above L1 & L2

frequency and number of channels more than 100 to accommodate L5 frequency also. Suggestion:

The articles and enclosures give a healthy justification for the department to focus on GPS L5 and GALILEO.

Technical Specifications for Dual

Frequency GNSS:

Integrated Blue Tooth for Dataload/Transfer in controller or receiver .

Suitable ports for GSM/GPRS or CDMA

connectivity in Receiver or controller

Receiver and controller both should be integrated with Bluetooth to down load/transfer the data.

Itshould be both way communication facility to transfer the data.

Now a days the Bluetooth normally works up to 10-15 meter range which is good for connecting a

controller with receiver in difficult surveying. Suitable ports for GSM/ GPRS or CDMA connectivity in Receiver

Suggestion:

The Bluetooth is must for both receiver as well as controller to communicate between them with suitable ports for GSM/GPRS or CDMA connectivity in Receiver .

Integrated blue-tooth is not a

mandatory requirement for this tender. Instruments with or without integrated blue-tooth will be accepted. To avoid ambiguity Amendment #5 is being issued.

Minimum of 72 Channels-

72 channels are sufficient to track GPS and GLONASS L1 and L2 which are  currently  two  fully  functional  satellite  systems.  Presently  no software solution in market can process Upcoming satellite signals. Hence it is recommended that for the application perceived L1,L2

for GPS and GLONASS are more than sufficient.

Capable to track GPS L1, L2 and GLONASS L1, L2. SBAS Enabled. There is

no clarity on Galileo and L5. It will take more than 10 years for the full constellation to come operational. By that time hardware technology will change drastically. This is contradictory to the above point as 100 channels  will  not  take  care  of  all  signals  from  GPS,  GLONASS  and Galileo. L2C and L5 signals broadcast will not include a data message until OCX (Next Generation Operational Control System) comes online. The OCX Block 1 is schedule to enter service in 2016 that will enable the use of L2C only. OCX Block II for supporting L5 is not yet schedule to be launched. L5 signal is available only with GPS Block IIF satellites which are just three in operation. A user would need 18 to 24 satellites to make use of L2C and L5 signals in surveying. The user will be able take advantage of L2C and L5 not before 2020.

external  antenna.  Please  do  confirm.  External  antenna  has  various

advantages like: it can be mounted on a long range pole in case of data collection in high canopy area. Use of external antenna is more ergonomic for RTK surveying due to light weight of external antenna. The modular assembly can be used with backpack for longer duration of survey in large areas. External antenna provides better techniques to burn multipath signals and provides better phase center repeatability. Due to these reason Survey of India has been using modular units for Geodatic purposes. Moreover for long static survey a user can keep receiver which is more costly in a safe place and antenna outside for safety purposes.

Antenna  is  required  to  cater  the

various field survey condition.

Specification/ 1. GNSS- Dual Frequency/

C. Antenna ( Geodetic accuracy antenna with)

we wish to confirm the advantages of a completely Integrated system

verses the Receiver and Antenna separate GNSS system.  The points are as under :-

1.             The Integrated unit is better,  because it does away with the Cable  that is required to connect the Antenna to the Receiver.  Many a time, this cable snaps (if you increase the height of the Pole suddenly, and if the Cable length is insufficient, chances are that the Cable will break) leadings to service problem.

2.           In the Integrated system, the Receiver, Antenna, Batteries and

Internal Radio are all mounted  together in one Compact unit weighing

≤1.5 Kgs.  This is mounted on a Pole which weigh ≤1.4 kg.  Hence, total weight in the hand of a person will be approx..  ≤3 kg.  In addition to this, a Controller will be mounted on the Pole, which weighs 0.5   kg. Therefore the total weight including Controller is 3.5 kgs.

3.           Against this, a separate unit will need to have Receiver put in the backpack. This Receiver itself may weight approx.. 2.5 kgs.   In addition to this, if you are using an External battery, this battery will weight  another 2  kgs.    Please check this with competition.   So the weight on the back of a person would be anywhere around 4 kgs+. Moreover,  the receiver which is on the backpack will be connected to

Refer  clarification  given  to  query

#11 &#12.

the Antenna by Cable and the weight of the Antenna with range pole

will be separately around 1.4 Kgs (Pole), + 0.5 kgs (Antenna)  = 2 kgs. + Weight of the Controller 0.5 kgs. So total weight will be 2.5 kg  + weight of  the  receiver    and  weight  of  the  External  battery    which  will  be approx.. 4 kgs.

The major problem is the hassle of connecting the External Antenna

and Receiver via Cable and also the movement of the surveyor will be restricted due to   two baggage, i.e. one backpack with Receiver with battery,  another Pole with Antenna + Controller on the Pole.  Well, in case  of  an  Integrated  system,  there  are  no  cable  involved,  as  the receiver will be only connected to controller via Bluetooth.   So the Surveyor will move easily with only one baggage, i.e. Pole and Receiver on top of the pole.

4.           The   latest   technology   that   is   available   in   the  market   is Integrated system, as the surveyor does not need to look after Cables separately, antenna separately and receiver separately and if radios are involved, again he has to look after Radios separately and batteries for such radio separately and battery for receiver again separately.   All these is integrated into one unit only in the integrated system.

Communication Ports Integrated Bluetooth for data download/transfer:

Typically all the receivers as on date come with inbuilt Bluetooth which gives an added advantage where a person can stand at a distance and can still do the receiver configuration. Apart from this there is a morphological advantage where a person can carry the entire system with  antenna  and  the  operator  can  still  stand  at  a  distance  and wirelessly operate the system or in a case where we want minimal cables with receiver. Typically as on date the Bluetooth that comes in all receivers is a Class 3 blue tooth for short range communication say less than 5 meter and operates on 2.4 Ghz frequency band.

Attached Notification as Enclosure 3 for usage of 2.4 Ghz band for being license free and requires only Type approval:

Since   the   communication   from

receiver via Bluetooth is a short range communication  say upto 5m only, it may not help in the field survey considerably. Hence Bluetooth is kept optional for receivers.
