====== pNav Versions Comparison ====== ===== Cold Start ===== **Ideal Conditions** [(The antenna is pointed towards the zenith; the satellite is attitude-controlled and stable, with a perfect view of the sky.)] **pNav** could start takes app. 60 seconds. and is app. 10% faster than pNav2. **pNav2** is app. 10% slower than pNav. Cold start s takes app. 70 seconds. **Real Conditions**[(At least one condition of Ideal Conditions is not satisfied.)] **pNav** cold start is problematic and can take up to hours. Acquisition is not guaranteed. **pNav2** cold start is reliable and takes at most a couple of minutes; see the Navigation of Rotating Satellite in the datasheet. ===== Reaqusition ===== **Position fix exists** Fast using Almanach data for both pNav and pNav2. **No position fix** Same problem as Real Conditions Acquisition. pNav is very slow. Reacquisition is not guaranteed. **pNav2** reacquisition is reliable and takes at most a couple of minutes; see the "Navigation of Rotating Satellite" in the datasheet. ===== Tracking Sensitivity ===== **pNav** can track only open sky satellites. The tracking loops of **pNav2** were optimized to track weak signals; see the "Navigation of Rotating Satellite" in the datasheet. ===== Antenna ===== 3.3V feeding. No feeding current limiter. 2.85V feeding. Feeding current limiter. Power supply 2.85 V. Supply current limiter. For optimal noise and intermodulation suppression, we recommend an active antenna with a wide beam and LNA gain of maximum 10 dB.
