1.3 Supported GNSS constellations

The ZED-F9P GNSS modules are concurrent GNSS receivers that can receive and track multiple

GNSS systems. Owing to the multi-band RF front-end architecture, all four major GNSS

constellations (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou) can be received concurrently. All satellites in

view can be processed to provide an RTK navigation solution when used with correction data. The

ZED-F9P receiver can be configured for concurrent GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou plus QZSS

reception. If power consumption is a key factor, then the receiver can be configured for a sub-set

of GNSS constellations.

The QZSS system shares the same L1 and L2 frequency bands as GPS and can always be processed

in conjunction with GPS.

To take advantage of multi-band signal reception, dedicated hardware preparation must be

made during the design-in phase. See the ZED-F9P Integration Manual[1] for u-blox design

recommendations.

The ZED-F9P supports the GNSS and their signals as shown in Table 3.

BDS B2I is not enabled by default.

Galileo support has been implemented according to ICD release 1.3 (December 2016) and

verified with live signals now that it has reached Initial Services.

The following GNSS assistance services can be activated on ZED-F9P:

1.4 GNSS augmentation systems

1.4.1 QZSS

The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a regional navigation satellite system that transmits

additional GPS L1 C/A and L2C signals for the Pacific region covering Japan and Australia. The

ZED-F9P high precision receiver is able to receive and track these signals concurrently with GPS
