The GPS 18 5Hz is a GPS sensor targeted to OEM clients for use in machine control, guidance, and various agricultural applications where 5 Hz position and velocity reports from a small, highly accurate GPS receiver are required.

This 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled GPS comes with an integrated magnetic base. The puck-like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs just ounces, making it an ideal solution in applications where space is at a premium.

The GPS 18 5Hz design includes non-volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real-time clock, and raw measurement output data for sophisticated high-precision dynamic applications. Also available is a 5 Hz Measurement Pulse Output whose rising edges are aligned to the 0 mS, 200 mS, 400 mS, 600 mS and 800 mS offsets from the UTC second boundaries within 1 microsecond for all conditions in which the GPS receiver has reported a valid and accurate position for at least the previous 4 second interval.
