Ionospheric monitoring using GNSS data from LEO satellites for space weather applications: (additional thesis)

In this report, a least-squares approach is described for retrieving the 3D structure of the electron concentration in the Earth’s upper ionosphere and plasmasphere, using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data-sets from Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellites. Due to the lack of horizontal radio wave geometries, the method uses assumptions...

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...
