L1 Band RF Front Ends
Open-source GPS hardware for software-defined receiver development, RF experimentation, and signal processing.
Connecting curiosity and creativity
Connecting curiosity and creativity
NavStarGPS.US is a technology brand of Gilbertson Precision Solutions, developing open-architecture GPS/GNSS radio-frequency front ends for engineers, researchers, educators, and developers.
Our hardware is designed to provide clean access to RF and intermediate-frequency (IF) data for software-defined radios (SDRs), custom DSP pipelines, receiver development, and signal analysis.
Why You Should Choose Us:
Open-Source & Transparent Architecture: Complete access to schematics, and open design files means no black boxes.
Precision-Engineered Performance: Clean baseband/IF downconversion engineered for weak GPS signal environments.
Built for Seamless Integration: Clean RF interface designed for direct integration with software-defined radios (SDRs), custom DSP pipelines, or GPS baseband processors.
Direct Designer-to-Engineer Support: Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA. Technical inquiries go straight to the engineer who designed the circuit, not a tiered support desk.
Stream digitized L1 IF data directly to your PC.
L1IFStream is an open-architecture USB radio front end engineered for software-defined receiver (SDR) development. Powered by the Maxim/ADI MAX2769B and an FTDI 2232H high-speed bridge, it streams digitized L1 IF data directly over USB into your DSP pipeline--no firmware flashing or register configuration required out of the box.
Transform your BeagleV-Fire into an L1 Band Receiver.
Direct header coupling removes USB bottlenecks and peripheral clutter.
Engineered as a standard daughterboard (Cape), the L1IFCape interfaces the L1 front-end directly to the processor headers. Ideal for autonomous signal monitoring, remote anti-jamming sensing, and low-power embedded PNT research, the L1IFCape turns your single-board computer into an all-in-one DSP edge device.
