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

Krietemeyer, A. (author)Whether in cars, smartphones, watches or fitness-trackers - the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has become a part of our daily life. Currently there are more than 100 GNSS satellites in orbit. They are routinely utilized for positioning and timing purposes, but their signals can also be used to monitor our environment. The...doctoral thesis 2021

Krietemeyer, A. (author), van der Marel, H. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)The recent release of consumer-grade dual-frequency receivers sparked scientific interest into use of these cost-efficient devices for high precision positioning and tropospheric delay estimations. Previous analyses with low-cost single-frequency receivers showed promising results for the estimation of Zenith Tropospheric Delays (ZTDs)....journal article 2020

(author), Simons, W.J.F. (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Hugentobler, U. (author), Féménias, P. (author)Sentinel-1A is the first satellite of the European Copernicus programme. Equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument the satellite was launched on April 3, 2014. Operational since October 2014 the satellite delivers valuable data for more than two years. The orbit accuracy requirements are given as 5. cm in 3D. In order to...journal article 2017

(author), Visser, P. (author), Yoon, Y. (author)The global navigation satellite system receiver for atmospheric sounding (GRAS) on MetOp-A is the first European GPS receiver providing dual-frequency navigation and occultation measurements from a spaceborne platform on a routine basis. The receiver is based on ESA’s AGGA-2 correlator chip, which implements a high-quality tracking scheme for...journal article 2008
