GNSS Backup eLoran Trialed Using Grandmaster Clock

UrsaNav and ADVA have conducted an enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) field trial using UrsaNav’s eLoran receiver and ADVA’s Oscilloquartz grandmaster clock technology. The successful demo showed that eLoran offers a robust and reliable backup for GPS and other GNSS and could be used to provide an assured position, navigation, and timing (PNT) service.

Evaluation of Sensor-Agnostic All-Source Residual Monitoring for Navigation

The addition of alternative sensors such as cameras, magnetometers, and small ranging radios increases the likelihood of a mismodeled and/or faulty sensor, affecting the accuracy and performance of the overall navigation solution. Unlike two-sensor systems such as GPS-inertial integration, systems of three or more sensors present the problem of ambiguity as to which sensor is adversely affecting the solution. This presents the need for a robust framework that can maintain navigation integrity despite the additional sensor modalities.

GNSS Interference Mitigation: Modulations, Measurements and Position Impact

Interference mitigation techniques should protect GNSS receivers from interference and jamming without biasing their final position, velocity and timing solution. This column analyses five popular interference mitigation techniques, including the Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF) and Pulse Blanking (PB), evaluating their impact on pseudoranges and on the final position and timing solution. Several GNSS modulations are considered, showing the advantage of using GNSS signals with similar spectral characteristics.
