MEDUSA final event on GNSS for Aviation

MEDUSA final event on GNSS for Aviation

The Euromed GNSS II/MEDUSA project will hold its final event on GNSS for aviation on June 4, 2014 in Tunis at GEMCO premises in Elgazala Technopark.

The event aims at presenting the MEDUSA’s experience in the airport of Monastir, and sharing the lessons learnt with the aviation communities from the Euromed countries.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to take stock of the present situation in relation to the use of GNSS/EGNOS for approaches in the Euromed countries, and to discuss the next steps and actions towards operational implementation.

Smartphone apps represent the most prominent market for GNSS. No other device or community of users has achieved a larger growth and market penetration in the period 2008–2013.

Apple introduced the first GPS capability on a smartphone in June 2008 with the iPhone3, and one year later Samsung introduced its Samsung Galaxy, incorporating the first GPS receiver for this brand.

Spirent Launches All-GNSS, Multi-Regional/SBAS Simulator

Spirent GSS9000

Spirent has launched a new generation of multi-frequency, multi-GNSS RF constellation simulator — the Spirent GSS9000.

The GSS9000 supports an extensive range of constellation configurations, from GPS L1 through to multi-GNSS, multi-frequency systems, including classified/restricted signals. Configurations are available that support multi-antennas and multi-vehicles, for example differential GNSS, attitude determination, interference/jamming and spoofing, and controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) testing.

New GNSS Signals

New GNSS Signals

A. J. Van Dierendonck

The world’s GNSS systems are entering a phase of transformation — modernization of existing systems (the U.S. Global Positioning System and Russia’s GLONASS) and development of new systems (China’s BeiDou and Europe’s Galileo) that benefit from the lessons learned from the original GNSSs.

Notable among the modernization initiatives is an interest in implementing new satellite signal designs. These include the GPS L5, L2C, and L1C signals as well as those signals designed for Galileo and BeiDou. GLONASS designers are also working on modernized signals.

Who’s Your Daddy?

Who’s Your Daddy?

In this article, we will take a look at the various GNSS signals from the perspective of their cost-benefit tradeoffs. First, we’ll look at the evolution of consumer GPS architecture to date — where acquisition speed and sensitivity have been the main drivers of receiver architecture. That architecture has evolved rapidly to take full advantage of the characteristics of the GPS C/A code.
