About the BD1090 and BD1092 GNSS receiver modules

The BD1090/BD1092 receiver module (also referred to as a receiver) is used for a wide range of precise positioning and navigation applications. These uses include unmanned vehicles and port and terminal equipment automation, and any other application requiring reliable, centimeter-level positioning at a high update rate and low latency.

The BD1090/BD1092 receiver module offers centimeter-level accuracy based on carrier phase RTK and sub-meter accuracy code-based solutions. The BD1090 supports single antenna operation, while the BD1092 supports dual antenna operation for heading.

Automatic initialization and switching between positioning modes allow for the best position solutions possible. Low latency (less than 20 ms) and high update rates give the response time and accuracy required for precise dynamic applications.

The BD1090/BD1092 receiver module can be configured as an autonomous base station (also known as a reference station) or as a rover receiver (also known as a mobile receiver). Streamed outputs from the receiver module provides detailed information, including the time, position, heading, quality assurance numbers, and the number of tracked satellites. The receiver module also output a one pulse-per-second (1PPS) strobe signal which lets remote devices precisely synchronize time.

Designed for reliable operation in all environments, the receiver provides a positioning interface to an office computer, external processing device, or control system. The receiver can be controlled through a serial, ethernet, USB, or CAN port using API commands or the web interface.
