GPS L1 C/A code phase, other GNSS?

[d4L]

Hello there. I have few questions about nrf9160 GNSS  part.
Seems NRF have implemented own GPS L1 C/A correlator, current quality is not impressive at this moment, but approach seems courageous if it's NRF built GNSS.

I just can guess that GNSS and 4G RF parts using same 2^N TCXO clock. GNSS systems usually relies on non 2^N clocks. Also I am quite interested if nrf9160 GNSS is software based or HW based. Does NRF company planning to improve current GNSS part. Add new GNSS systems like GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou? Also I am quite interested if this device is capable to  give back partial results after FFT, like code phase, Doppler array and etc?

Hi!

1. Unfortunately, we don't give out this information.

2. No, nRF9160 will only support GPS. We will continue to improve the GPS. 

3. No, GPS is fully contained in nRF9160 and does not support externally implemented GPS functions. 

Best regards,

Heidi
