Chronos Technology recently introduced the handheld gadget in the UK to help GPS users detect recurring and heavy GPS satellite power, and even GPS signal and interference on the satellite navigation L1 channel. Called the CTL 3500 GPS Interference Monitor, the device has the capability to point out both deliberate and accidental interferences that jams GPS signals.
The Lydbrook based Chronos Technology also announced that intentional electronic warfare attacks could be indicated in the CTL 3500 gadget. With its filtering and detection technology systems, the device could also detect accidental obstruction and calculated meddling to GPS sensor signals.
Relatively cheaper and no doubt handy, this battery operated device employs precise and advanced low noise signal amplification with SAW filters and logarithmic detection. With this, unwanted signals like waveform or modulation scheme, the filtering and detection techniques could monitor any jams within the scope of the GPS L1 band. The CTL 3500 GPS Interference Monitor also has the capability to indicate levels on the cadenced vibrator and the 5 LEDs.
The gadget could be fully operational and function as support for engineers that will conduct checking of GPS antenna installations. It can also test installations of building rooftops for interference from other sources and the nearby GPS antennas, as well as classify whether GPS jams are being accidentally rebroadcasted from substandard, corroded cable or dysfunctional connector or antenna banding.
This good news from Chronos Technology Limited came at a time where there had been loads of feedback regarding the need to install monitors for GPS jams and interferences, regardless of the nature of such obstruction in signals, consistent with their production of GNSS components and accessories for applications such as positioning, navigation and communications industries, the British company launched this product recently, and aims for the military and the large public to employ its advantages.
Chronos remain the top specialist provider and system integrator of various technical solutions for synchronization, time of day and remote monitoring applications.
