ION GNSS+ 2013

Music right around the corner

This will be the 26th international technical meeting of the Satellite Division of the Institute of Navigation. It is the world’s largest and oldest GNSS conference, founded in 1987 as the ION GPS conference.

With new signals and frequencies coming on line with modernized GNSSs, antennas play a more crucial role than ever in receiver system design.

Antennas are often an overlooked or undervalued aspect of GNSS user equipment.

Cooperative GNSS Authentication

Equations

During the past two decades, the Global Positioning System, together with other GNSSes, has become an essential element of the global information infrastructure, with myriad applications in almost every facets of modern businesses and lifestyles, including communication, energy distribution, finance and insurance, and transportation. Ever-growing dependence on GNSS creates strong incentives to attack civil GNSS, for either an illegitimate advantage or a terrorism purpose.

Spoofing

Spoofing

Logan Scott, LS Consulting

Sometimes GNSS spoofing seems a bit like UFOs: much speculation, occasional alarms at suspected instances, but little real-world evidence of its existence.

As far back as 2001, a U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe Center report suggested that as GPS further penetrates into the civil infrastructure, “it becomes a tempting target that could be exploited by individuals, groups or countries”.

Location, Location, Location

In a part of the world where frustrated drivers will park anywhere, including squarely on a sidewalk, a local newspaper is using location data to shame car owners into shaping up.

The Village, a Russian online publication serving Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kiev; created a free app that notes a badly parked vehicle’s make, color, and license plate information when users snap its picture.

Something Old, Something New

Something Old, Something New

The past 15 years have witnessed tremendous developments of new and modernized satellite-based navigation (satnav) systems, including GNSSs, regional systems, and space-based augmentation systems (SBASs). These have been enabled by the original designs of GPS and GLONASS and, in turn, have stimulated the design of satnav signal structures with different characteristics from those pioneer systems.
