UN-151B

Loran-C and eLoran Timing Receiver

OEM version PCB

This latest version of UrsaNav’s “Mitigator™“ series LF receiver is provided as an OEM module for further integration into customer applications. The UN-151B receiver uses an external E-field or H-field antenna that is connected to the OEM module using the same antenna connector. The receiver provides 10MHz and 1PPS timing signals that are aligned to UTC that is derived from received signals, as well as NMEA compliant data logs.

Key Features

  • Small form factor
  • NMEA messaging
  • Complete range of integration capabilities
  • Software configurable
  • Intuitive user-friendly graphic display software
  • Loran-C, eLoran, Chayka
  • Flexible SDR architecture

Description

The UN-151B is the latest version of UrsaNav’s Mitigator™ series Low Frequency (LF) receivers designed as an OEM module for further integration into your applications. This OEM module provides precise time, frequency, and data channel demodulation from Loran-C or eLoran systems. The receiver is capable of processing Chayka and other low or medium frequency sources.

The UN-151B is the only commercially available timing receiver module that meets the stringent European Telecommunications Standards Institute requirements for Primary Reference Clocks, the Stratum–I frequency requirements, and provides traceability of time to within 50 nanoseconds of UTC. Built-in future–proofing ensures capability to track next generation LF signals with advanced waveforms and enhanced data channel capability.

As solutions experts for LF Position, Navigation, Timing, Frequency, and Data technology; UrsaNav has you covered from transmission to reception. Our turnkey solutions include system design, timing and control equipment, advanced data channel techniques, and differential Loran reference equipment.
