Leica Introduces New DGPS

Beacon Receiver

Leica introduced a new DGPS bea- con receiver — dubbed MX 51R —which incorpo- rates a high-performance ferrite loop antenna. The new unit receives and demodulates GPS error corrections transmitted from marine radiobeacons in the 283.5 to 325 KHz band to achieve positioning accuracies of 16 ft. (5 m) or better in real time.

The H-field ferrite loop antenna used in theMX51 R requires no external ground- ing, helpful for smaller vessels. The antenna is designed to reduce the ef- fects of atmospheric noise, such as P- static caused by thunderstorms.

The MX 51R is optionally available with a combined GPS/beacon antenna that uses a single antenna cable for both signals.
