Start date: 01/02/2019To address higher requirements from customers, Saphyrion has developed, through an internal project the SY1007A and SY1017A devices, which consist of an RF front-end and an AD/DA-converter ASIC for GNSS applications. The SY1007A is a radiation hardened L-band RF down-converter for GNSS receivers aimed at the professional and space markets. It includes all functional blocks needed to implement the… -
Start date: 09/01/2020GPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…Subcontractors

Start date: 01/04/2020Please find the Final presentation here. Compact and low power consumption atomic clocks, also known as CSAC (Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks) have grown a progressive interest during the last decades. Such devices feature the unique capability of a stable frequency and timing reference over extended periods of time, otherwise unreachable with conventional oscillator technology based on quartz crystal…Subcontractors

Start date: 18/01/2020DETECTRION is an Interference detection oriented GNSS RF Recording and Playback System able to operate in an autonomous and reliable manner in response to interferences by detecting them and recording a pre-programmed set of GNSS bands upon these events. DETECTRION is a market innovation, since currently there are no standalone products that integrate all features foreseen in this project.… -
Start date: 02/03/2021Recent advances in technology have contributed to the deployment of a "de-facto" large GNSS receiver array based on affordable smart devices that are easy to find in the consumer market (dual band smartphones, raw GNSS data recording, new sensors). These devices, evolving fast with each new generation, feature an increasing number of capabilities and sensors able to collect a variety of…Subcontractors

Start date: 07/04/2021Current GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon). The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…Subcontractors

Start date: 01/05/2022New digitalization and automation applications in agriculture and automotive require precise GNSS positioning information in real-time, everywhere and always. In regions with limited mobile internet access, farmers have to use commercial PPP or PPP-RTK corrections provided in proprietary data formats via geostationary satellites with low elevation and therefore with unreliable reception. The…Subcontractors

Start date: 23/01/2023The EGNSS MATE project aims to develop a solution for the problem of localising trains in an accurate and safe manner. Positioning information enables moving block operations in the European Traffic Management System, allowing capacity increases and fixed asset reductions on exisiting lines. Within this project, map assisted sensor fusion algorithms will be developed by DLR. The algorithm…Prime contractor

Start date: 02/12/2023Photonic integrated circuits provide compactness and efficiency to technologies that require a clear path towards scale-up. High speed modulation is an essential capability for positioning, navigation, and timing, that requires a platform with strong electro-optic activities and ultra-low optical loss. Lithium niobate on-insulator (LNOI) is a promising platform that offers a large electro-optic…
