The PolaRx5S is the world’s leading ionospheric GNSS receiver. With 544 channels, it provides I&Q correlations, phase, code and carrier-to-noise at up to 100 Hz for all GNSS L-band frequencies.
KEY FEATURES
* Real time output of TEC and iono scintillationindices on all GNSS L-band frequencies
* 100 Hz unfiltered correlation output for in-depthscintillation analysis
* Full compatibility with common scintillation andTEC monitoring file formats
* 100 Hz code, phase and intensity output withuser controlled noise bandwidth
* Unique interference monitoring and mitigation(AIM+)
* OSNMA Support
* Powerful Web UI and logging tools
* Rugged housing and multiple interfaces
BENEFITS
Space Weather Applications
The PolaRx5S outputs an extensive set of GNSS measurements and iono-indices, including I&Q correlation, phase and intensity, up to 100 Hz. Featuring an ultra-low noise oscillator, it enables precise phase scintillation monitoring with a phase noise standard deviation (Phi60) as low as 0.03 rad.
GNSS+ Technology
The A Posteriori Multipath Estimator (APME+), unique in its ability to tackle short-delay multipath, enhances the measurement quality while LOCK+ tracking guarantees robust tracking of rapid signal dynamics during scintillation events.
Radio interferences events, more and more present, are difficult to differentiate from scintillation events. The PolaRx5S incorporates advanced interference mitigation techniques to suppress interference before it can affect the iono indices.
Networking, remote operation, and data logging
Communication and (remote) management of the PolaRx5S is made easy with a powerful built-in Web UI accessible over WiFi, network or USB connection. The Web UI features secured access to all receiver settings and status information, data storage, and fast and robust firmware upgrading.
SBF, RINEX and BINEX data logging is possible on both a builtin 16 GB memory and on an externally connected device. Up to 40 independent data archives can be defined. Logged data can be accessed via the web UI server or automatically pushed to a FTP server.
