An innovative 'aiding' functionality was added to the Antaris GPS technology, jointly developed by u-blox and Atmel, which now makes 'time to first fix' within four seconds a reality. The aiding parameters provide ephemeris, almanac, rough initial position, clock drift and time, satellite status and, if available, a precise time synchronisation signal. The aiding information is supplied from an external source, for example a base station. With this information, the GPS receiver has immediate knowledge of the satellites to search and track. The aiding feature is offered in the TIM-LP, TIM-LF and TIM-LC as well as on the Antaris GPS chipset.
