Designed for Integration
The OEMStar receiver has the same form factor as NovAtel's Superstar II and OEMV1/1G receivers. This allows customers to easily integrate the OEMStar into existing
Superstar ll and OEMV-1/1G systems1. The OEMStar uses Space Based Augmentation
System (SBAS) corrections from services such as the Wide Area Augmentation System
(WAAS) and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS).
Multi-Constellation Performance
The OEMStar offers GPS+GLONASS positioning and measurements in combination with
GPS data to provide increased satellite availability for positioning in challenging
environments at a very cost-effective price.
Code and Carrier Phase
The OEMStar features up to 14 channels of combined L1 GPS and GLONASS code and
carrier phase tracking for increased positioning accuracy and availability. The position,
velocity and time information is available at up to 10 Hz, with a 1 PPS accuracy of 20
ns.
Small Form Factor with Low Power Consumption
The OEMStar measures only 46 by 71 mm, accepts an input voltage between 3.3 and
5.0 VDC and consumes less than 600 mW.

Physical size, mounting holes and connector location is identical to Superstar ll and OEMV-1/1G receivers. Some of the 20-pin connector signal assignments
have been modified.
Typical values. Performance specifications subject to GPS system characteristics, US DOD operational degradation, ionospheric and tropospheric conditions,
satellite geometry, baseline length, multipath effects and the presence of intentional or unintentional interference sources.
3
GPS only.
4
Typical value. No almanac or ephemerides and no approximate position or time.
5
Typical value. Almanac and recent ephemerides saved and approximate position and time entered.
6
Time accuracy does not include biases due to RF or antenna delay.
7
Export licensing restricts operation to a maximum of 515 metres per second.
8
Typical values for 14 channel operation. Power consumption will vary depending upon features selected.
