Appendix I - MC500
Introduction
The MC500 is an OEM GPS receiver,
that can be integrated into complete
positioning systems.
The MC500 receiver has a rugged
housing that meets high shock and
vibration environmental specifica-
tions. This makes the receiver ideal
for use in high vibration and other
difficult environments - such as
Machine Control. Details of these
specifications can be found in the
MC500 User Manual.
The receiver and measurement
performance of the MC500 are the
same as the SR530. The MC500
tracks the L1 C/A code and L2 P-
code to reconstruct the carrier phase.
When Anti-Spoofing (A-S) is acti-
vated, the receiver switches to a
patented P-code aided tracking
technique that provides full L2 carrier
measurements and L2
pseudoranges.

The MC500 also includes the data
logging features of the RS500 (see
Appendix J) and is suitable for refer-
ence station applications in severe
environments With a radio modem attached the
receiver can be used for RTK opera-
tions. Coordinates can be calculated
with a precision of up to about 1cm.
