Q: What are typical features of GNSS satellite faults in recent years? Are there any differences between satellite constellations?

A: While GPS satellite faults have always been infrequent, they have become rarer in the past decade due to the maturity of the GPS constellation and its Operational Control Segment (OCS). Lessons learned from past GPS satellite failures have also aided the development of newer GNSS constellations such as the European Galileo.

Navigating Emergencies with a Low-RF CARS

The prototype, consisting of a single Tx-Rx communication link, was tested in indoor-to-indoor, outdoor-to-outdoor and outdoor-to-indoor communication scenarios and in both static and dynamic conditions. The outdoor-to-indoor results indicate that, with further development, the Civilian and Assets Recovery System (CARS) is a promising navigation and positioning technology.

Adopting Bicomplex Numbers for GNSS Meta-Signal Processing

A 4D extension of complex numbers, bicomplex numbers allow for a compact representation of GNSS meta-signals with components from two different frequencies. Acquisition and tracking algorithms are obtained from the bicomplex signal representation, giving it potential for effective dual-frequency GNSS signal processing.

Q: How can two-way communications between reference stations and users enhance the performance and integrity  of differential GNSS navigation?

JIYUN LEE, GIHUN NAM AND K. ANDREW SUN, KOREA ADVANCED INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (KAIST)

A: Many forms of differential GNSS (DGNSS) exist to provide GNSS users with corrections to their pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements along with information to support their applications and provide integrity assurance [1].
