Krietemeyer, A. (author), van der Marel, H. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)Low-cost dual-frequency receivers and antennas have created opportunities for a wide range of new applications, in regions and disciplines where traditional GNSS equipment is unaffordable. However, the major drawback of using low-cost antenna equipment is that antenna phase patterns are typically poorly defined. Therefore, the noise in...journal article 2022

Verheyen, Jan K.N. (author), Dupeyroux, J.J.G. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Insects have—over millions of years of evolution—perfected many of the systems that roboticists aim to achieve; they can swiftly and robustly navigate through different environments under various conditions while at the same time being highly energy efficient. To reach this level of performance and efficiency, one might want to look at and...conference paper 2022

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Massarweh, L. (author), Verhagen, S. (author)In this contribution, we extend the principle of integer bootstrapping (IB) to a vectorial form (VIB). The mathematical definition of the class of VIB-estimators is introduced together with their pull-in regions and other properties such as probability bounds and success rate approximations. The vectorial formulation allows sequential block...journal article 2021

Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), Khodabandeh, A. (author)Although ionosphere-weighted GNSS parameter estimation is a popular technique for strengthening estimator performance in the presence of ionospheric delays, no provable rules yet exist that specify the needed weighting in dependence on ionospheric circumstances. The goal of the present contribution is therefore to develop and present the...journal article 2021
