GLONASS-K for Airborne Applications

As is well known, Galileo will become the European complement to the U.S. Global Positioning system.

But what about Russia’s GLONASS?

Although this constellation has been in operation for nearly three decades, the limited number of available satellites along with an uncertain governmental commitment to GLONASS performance until recent years had seriously restricted its use for aviation.

Verification Testing

A GNSS signal simulator is mainly used to simulate GNSS signals transmitted by navigation satellites, propagated through the Earth’s atmosphere, and received by the receiver antenna. A simulator provides a convenient signal source for the test and validation of receiver function and performance and can also be used in GNSS experiments and studies of signal/data processing algorithms.

GPS Interference Testing

Interference can pose a threat to the reception of GNSS signals in a variety of ways. Even low-level signals have the potential to interfere with GNSS receivers, which require very high sensitivity for acceptable performance due to the extremely low received GPS signal power at the Earth’s surface.

GNSS Hotspots | May 2011

1. DON’T BLAME GPS
Humboldt-Tolyabe National Forest, Nevada USA
√ In the Pacific Northwest, in-car navigators often indicate “short cuts” through wilderness mountains—with tragic results. One victim survived 49 days before rescue in May. (Reports blamed GPS – not digital maps or wireless communication.) GPS.GOV straightens out misperceptions, for those who need a guardian angel, but just get a signal.
