Preliminary Analysis of a Novel SAR Based Emergency System for Earth Orbit Satellites using Galileo

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of a novel Search and Rescue (SAR) based emergency system for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites using the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). It starts with a description of the space user SAR system including a concept description, mission architecture and legal and regulatory aspects....

Snapshot Software Receiver for GNSS in Weak Signal Environments: An Innovative Approach for Galileo E5

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning has turned out to be an enabler of Location-Based Services (LBS). This has motivated in recent years an increasing research activity on signal processing techniques for GNSS receivers. However, one main limitation faced by these GNSS receivers is the propagation of GNSS signals in complex...
