On User Algorithms for GNSS Precise Point Positioning

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) processing method with the objective of providing high positioning accuracy without the need for a nearby base station or dense network of reference stations operated by the user. To reach this objective, PPP uses the very precise carrier phase measurements in...

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...

GNSS Carrier Phase-based Attitude Determination: Estimation and Applications

Attitude determination through the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals is one of the many applications of satellite-based navigation. Multiple GNSS antennas installed on a given platform are used to provide orientation estimates, thus adding attitude information to the standard positioning service. Precise attitude estimates...
