A Key Part of the AUTONAV Function is Provided By a<br />

VHF Crosslink<br />

CROSSLINKS AND AUTONAV<br />

– Each <strong>GPS</strong> IIR Satellite has a<br />

Redundant Crosslink Transponder<br />

Data Unit (CTDU) supplying a dual<br />

function <strong>for</strong> AUTONAV<br />

• Supplies a Precise Inter-Satellite<br />

Ranging Signal<br />

• Exchanges the AUTONAV State<br />

Vector between satellites<br />

– <strong>The</strong> CTDU is a Time Division<br />

Multiple Access (TDMA)<br />

Frequency Hopped Spread<br />

Spectrum Communication System<br />

incorporating a 5 mChip/s<br />

Pseudorandom Code. Output<br />
