AG-STAR User Manual Rev 2 10
Chapter 1 Introduction
The AG-STAR is a high-performance GNSS receiver and antenna, capable of receiving and tracking different
combinations of GPS L1 and GLONASS L1 code and carrier signals on a maximum of 14 channels. SBAS
(Satellite Based Augmentation Systems) support, which includes WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS, is standard.
Refer to An Introduction to GNSS, available from our web site at www.novatel.com/an-introduction-to-gnss/
for an overview of each of the above signal types. The AG-STAR rear panel also features light emitting
diodes (LEDs) for status indication.
Once properly powered, the AG-STAR begins operating as a fully functional GNSS system. Figure 1,
AG-STAR Receiver shows the AG-STAR without connecting cables.
