100 Hz GNSS Receiver for Control Loops and INS Fusion

A 100 Hz GNSS receiver computes a fresh satellite position 100 times a second, with less than 10 ms latency. Eview offers native 100 Hz output on five receivers: the HB10 and HB59 (AsteRx-m3 Pro+) and the HB6, HB56 and HB62 (mosaic-X5), powered by Septentrio modules.

How it works

What native 100 Hz output means

A true satellite solution
Native 100 Hz means each of the 100 positions per second is computed from GNSS measurements. It is not interpolated between slower fixes, and no IMU is needed to fill the gaps.
Low latency
The HB10, HB59, HB6, HB56 and HB62 deliver position with less than 10 ms latency. A control loop then acts on where the platform is, not where it was.
Tighter control loops
Fast, fresh position lets flight controllers and vehicle controllers react quickly to gusts, slopes and steering inputs. See autonomous vehicles.
Better INS fusion
A Kalman filter fusing GNSS and IMU data benefits from frequent, low-latency GNSS updates, which limit IMU drift between them. See attitude from a moving base.
Centimetre RTK at speed
RTK accuracy of 0.6 cm + 0.5 ppm horizontal and 1 cm + 1 ppm vertical, so 100 positions per second keep centimetre detail. See RTK GNSS.
Robust under interference
AIM+ suppresses narrowband, wideband, chirp and pulsed interference, and LOCK+ keeps tracking under vibration and shock. See anti-jamming GNSS.

Integration

Integrating a 100 Hz receiver

Use a fast interface
100 Hz output needs bandwidth. Use Ethernet or USB, or a high UART baud rate, and output only the messages you need.
Timestamp everything
Use GNSS time and the PPS output to align GNSS and IMU data in your fusion filter. See NTRIP, RTCM and RINEX.
Flight controllers
NMEA or SBF over UART for ArduPilot and PX4. See our ArduPilot guide. Firmware on firmware downloads.
FAQ

100 Hz GNSS: frequently asked questions

What does native 100 Hz mean?

It means the receiver computes a new position from satellite measurements 100 times per second. Some receivers reach high rates by interpolating between slower fixes or by filling gaps with an IMU. A native 100 Hz receiver does neither: each output is a real GNSS solution, delivered with less than 10 ms latency.

Why does latency matter?

Latency is the delay between the measurement and the moment the position reaches your system. A fast platform moves during that delay, so a control loop acting on old data reacts late. Less than 10 ms latency keeps the position close to the true current state, which helps stability.

Which Eview receivers output 100 Hz?

Five: the HB10 and HB59, built on the AsteRx-m3 Pro+, and the HB6, HB56 and HB62, built on the mosaic-X5. mosaic-G5 products such as the HB50 and HB52 run at 20 Hz. mosaic-H products, the HB6 Pro and HB56H, give position up to 50 Hz and RTK with heading up to 20 Hz.

Is 100 Hz GNSS a replacement for IMU fusion?

No, they work together. An IMU measures motion at high rate but drifts over time. GNSS gives absolute position without drift. Fusing them gives the best of both. Faster, low-latency GNSS updates limit how far the IMU can drift between corrections, which makes the fused solution more stable.

Do I need 100 Hz?

Not always. Slow robots, survey work and base stations do well at 20 Hz or less. 100 Hz helps fast or agile platforms, tight control loops and INS fusion. If you are unsure, tell us your platform speed and control rate and we will advise. See mosaic-G5 receivers for 20 Hz options.
