GPS 02 01 / GPS 03 01¶
This is the Ericsson original GPS receiver that can be used to provide a clock reference to equipment like DUG 20 or DUL 20 or also the SIU 02
The GPS 02 is also called NCD 901 41/1, while the GPS 03 is also called NCD 901 56/1
We're not aware of the exact differences between GPS 02 and GPS 03
Connections¶
RJ45 for connection to DUL/DUG/DUW/SIU/TCU¶
The unit has two RJ45 sockets. They appear to have identical functionality.
The pin-out is as follows:
| Pin | Name | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1PPS+ | RS-422 1PPS GPS -> DUx |
| 2 | 1PPS- | RS-422 1PPS GPS -> DUx |
| 3 | RxD+ | RS-422 in direction DUx -> GPS |
| 4 | TxD+ | RS-422 NMEA in direction GPS -> DUx |
| 5 | TxD- | RS-422 NMEA in direction GPS -> DUx |
| 6 | RxD- | RS-422 in direction DUx -> GPS |
| 7 | 12V | supply voltage from DUx -> GPS |
| 8 | GND | supply voltage from DUx -> GPS |
The supply voltage pins on a DUL 20/DUG 20 only provide 3V-4V until the GPS receiver is detected by means of a 1kOhms resistor between 12V and GND. At that point, the DUL sources the full 12V.
But it will want to see at least a 10 mA load to continue providing the 12V !
The 1PPS output signal of the GPS 02 only becomes active once there is a GPS fix.
SMA for connection to GPS antenna¶
This includes a 5V DC phantom voltage supply for the active antenna.
LED¶
There is a single green LED.- after power up, it takes some dozens of seconds until it first becomes active
- slow green blinking light indicates powered up but no GPS fix
- steady green light indicates powered up and GPS fix (1PPS output active)
NMEA¶
Ericsson uses some extensions to the typical standard NMEA sentences. For more information, see This scientific thesis about emulating an Ericsson GPS receiver twoards a RBS

GPS 03¶
looks mostly the same, just with a longer sequence of '1' in $PERC,GPsts and with Glonass satellites in addition to GPS?
