A Reconfigurable GPS/Galileo Receiver Front-end for Space Applications

The trend of space technology developments is moving from high power consuming, bulky and costly systems towards low-power, small, low-cost and flexible systems. Thus, the spacecraft can benefit from multi-purpose and flexible systems which can be low-power and low-cost by employing new technology. One example of such system is a GNSS receiver...

Match filtering approach for signal acquisition in radio-pulsar navigation

Pulsars with their periodic pulses and known positions are ideal beacons for navigation. The challenge, however, is the detection of the very weak pulsar signals that are submerged in noise. Radio based approaches allow the use of advanced techniques and methods for the detection and acquisition of such weak signals. In this paper, an effective...
