GPStation-6

The GPStation-6 is a next-generation GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor (GISTM) receiver. The multi-frequency multi-constellation GPStation-6 design is based on the mature GSV4004B GISTM receiver that has been used in ionospheric monitoring networks and space weather applications around the world since 2004. By combining the proven GSV4004B receiver design with NovAtel’s latest OEM628 GNSS measurement engine, the GPStation-6 offers a future proof modernization path for existing customers and a leading edge solution for new customers in this unique application space.

Familiar workflow and data for existing GSV4004B users

Customizable utility software supports automated receiver configuration and control, log decoding, specialized post-processing algorithms and real-time data display. The GPStation-6 utility software is based on the utility package that was included with the GSV4004B, allowing for straightforward transition of existing workflows to the new GISTM platform.

Monitor ionospheric activity and space weather for research applications

GPStation-6 is software upgradable in the field to provide the custom performance required for your application demands. The receiver is capable of tracking all present and upcoming GNSS constellations and satellite signals including GPS L1/L2/L2C/L5, SBAS L1/L5, GLONASS L1/L2, Galileo E1/E5a/E5b/Alt-BOC and Compass signals, and ensures high performance GNSS signal tracking, providing ionospheric scintillation (S₄, σ_ф) and TEC measurements for all supported signal types. A 25 Hz raw signal intensity noise bandwidth and 25 Hz phase noise bandwidth ensures that all the spectral components of both amplitude and phase scintillations are measured. A sampling rate of 50 Hz (maximum) is used to generate high-rate ionospheric scintillation measurements for each signal tracked on the 120 available independent tracking channels.
