DL-V3 User Manual Rev 3 23
Chapter 1 Introduction
The DL-V3 is a high-performance GNSS receiver capable of receiving and tracking different
combinations of GPS L1 C/A, L2C, L2 P(Y) and L5 code and carrier, GLONASS L1 and L2 code and
carrier, and L-Band (CDGPS and OmniSTAR) on a maximum of 72 channels. SBAS support is
standard and the DL-V3 adaptability offers multi-system, frequency, and size configurations for any
application requirement. Refer to the GNSS Reference Book for an overview of each of the above
signal types, available from our website at http://www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htm
. The DL-
V3’s front panel also features light emitting diodes (LEDs) for on the fly observations.
The DL-V3 is a triple-frequency GNSS receiver with integrated L-band capability but without the
need for a separate board. It is GLONASS-enabled with measurements, full code and RTK
positioning.
Once you connect the DL-V3 to an antenna and power supply, it begins operating as a fully functional
GNSS system. Figure 2 below shows the DL-V3 without an antenna or connecting cables.
