The S1216F8‐GI3 is a satellite navigation receiver capable of using  L5  NavIC,  L1  GAGAN/GPS/GLONASS  signal  to  provide 3D  navigation  in  a  single  compact  SMD  module.  The S1216F8‐GI3  has  56  tracking  channels  and  could  track  all in‐view  satellites.  It  is  fully  autonomous  such  that  once power  is  applied,  the  receiver  automatically  searches, acquires  and  tracks  satellite  signals.  When  a  sufficient number  of  satellites  are  tracked  with  valid  measurements, the receiver produces 3D position and velocity outputs.

NavIC  +  GPS/GLONASS  triple‐satellite  capability  enables using  greater  number  of  satellite  signal  than  GPS‐only receivers.  The  increased  satellite  number  offers  superior performance  in  challenging  urban  canyon  and  multipath environments.   
 
The  S1216F8‐GI3  module  contains  SkyTraq  Venus  8 positioning  engine  inside,  featuring  high  sensitivity,  low power  consumption,  and  fast  TTFF.  The  superior  cold  start sensitivity  allows  it  to  acquire,  track,  and  get  position  fix autonomously  in  difficult  weak  signal  environment.  The receiver’s  superior  tracking  sensitivity  allows  continuous position  coverage  in  nearly  all  outdoor  application environments.  The  high  performance  signal  parameter search  engine  is  capable  of  testing  16  million time‐frequency  hypotheses  per  second,  offering  superior signal acquisition and TTFF speed.
