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: 15/01/2018GNSS is the only global, free, comprehensive technology providing absolute PNT data to users worldwide. Its limitations are known, including long life cycle and replenishment schedule, affecting their ability to adapt easily to short-term market needs and to some extent, resilience. Considering the above, alternative PNT methods and solutions have been developed or are being investigated,…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/01/2018GNSS antennas in user receiver devices are relatively simple. More sophisticated antennas could be designed to bring spatial diversity and gain, and to be more resistant against spoofing and meaconing, as well as reducing other sources of interference, for instance by nulling the gain of the antenna in this direction. Using arrays of dynamic elements (phase/gain controlled) would also make it…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/04/2020The aim of this activity is to develop the EM of a multi-constellation multi-frequency spaceborne receiver product (called NAVILEO) that addresses the requirements of the New Space market, bringing the gap between today’s low-end and high-end GNSS space receiver solutions, and offering a high performance, autonomous, state-of-the-art navigation solution at an affordable price for single… -
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: 01/03/2020Compact (few cc volume) and low power consumption (< 200 mW) atomic clocks (also known as Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks, CSAC) have become commercially available in the last decade and have demonstrated their benefits for a wide range of applications, such as PNT in adverse environment (long coherent integration), secure telecommunication or for timing hold-over in case of loss of GNSS or other network…Prime contractor

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…
