Crescent OEM Modules
Description

A New Standard of Performance Crescent® receivers feature Hemisphere's exclusive application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) computer chipset technology. They establish a new benchmark for performance, versatility and value. They deliver higher update rates, noise-reduced raw measurements, more memory and higher processor capability, to enable more advanced applications and sophisticated configurations.

Crescent receivers also simultaneously employ multiple front ends - enabling tighter coupling of measurements from separate antennae for use with heading-based products. Users will obtain excellent accuracy and stability, due to Crescent's more accurate code phase measurements, multipath mitigation improvements, and fewer discrete receiver components. The first Crescent receiver to employ the Hemisphere ASIC is the Crescent OEM module - an integrated circuit board for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Since then, Hemisphere has introduced the Crescent Vector OEM module – an integrated circuit board for OEMs specializing in products for Marine applications as well as Agriculture and “Machine Control” applications.

Crescent technology is the front-end component in a variety of high-performance innovations that Hemisphere GPS is developing for several increasingly popular applications including agricultural guidance and machine control, marine navigation and GIS & mapping. The technology can achieve update rates of as much as 20 Hz - making it ideal for these applications.

LX-1 Option Board
Description

Improve GPS positioning accuracy by adding differential capability with Hemisphere GPS’s LX-1™ OEM Board. Coupled with Hemisphere GPS’s exclusive OEM Board, the LX-1 receives OmniSTAR® differential signals that improve positioning to less than a meter.

OmniSTAR broadcasts via satellite differential signal corrections covering most land areas worldwide. It is an ideal alternative or back-up to other differential sources such as SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, etc.) and radiobeacon especially in regions where those signals are difficult or impossible to track. The LX-1 automatically tracks the best differential satellite broadcast if more than one is available in a particular region or tracks a specific satellite manually set by the user.

The LX-1 comes paired with the Crescent® OEM board for optimal performance. Integration of the two boards is simplified as they are exactly the same size and connect directly to each other.
