Working with GPS
Overview
The Dolphin 6000 uses a MT3326, a high performance single chip, single die host-based
GPS solution that has an on-chip CMOS RF and digital baseband. The MT3326 meets the
industry s highest levels of sensitivity, accuracy, and Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF) with lowest
power consumption in a small-footprint lead-free package. Its small footprint and minimal
accessory gives important reductions in the design, manufacturing and testing resources
needed for navigation devices and handsets.
With an on-chip integrated LNA, the MT3326 has a total receiver noise figure of 4 dB (before
ADC). With its on-chip image-rejection mixer, the spec of an external SAW filter is decreased.
With an on-chip automatic center frequency calibration band pass filter, an external filter is not
needed. The integrated PLL with Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) gives excellent phase
noise performance and fast locking time.
The MT3326 supports up to 210 PRN channels. With 66 search channels and 22
simultaneous tracking channels, the MT3326 finds and tracks satellites in the shortest time,
even at indoor signal levels. The MT3326 supports various location and navigation
applications, including GPS, SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS), DPGS (RTCM), and
AGPS.
The on-chip power management design makes the MT3326 easily included into the system
without an extra voltage regulator. With its linear regulator embedded, the MT3326 gives the
user plenty of choices for an application circuit.
Through the MT3326 s excellent low power consumption properties (acquisition 50mW,
tracking 38mW), power sensitive devices, especially embedded systems, do not have to
worry about operating time.
With MT3326 s powerful interface, a host system can communicate with the MT3326
efficiently through UART and SPI at baud rates as fast as 921600 bps, which saves the host
CPU processing time.
From a system design view, if a host system already has TCXO or RTC, the MT3326 can
share these sources with a host system and this will save system BOM costs and system
PCB area.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT
Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act
of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of
the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with
hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids
and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the
amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating
system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating
on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a
hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Dolphin 6000 complies with the FCC’s requirements, and the M rating in this mode is M3 and the T
rating in this mode is T3.
Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating.
Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing
aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable
for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the
M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with
“normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in
this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the
U mark.
