Reliable Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) of carrier-phase measurements is critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) high accuracy positioning. State-of-the-art IAR strategies employ well-established processes (float estimation, decorrelation and searching) which, however, cannot deem efficient for real-time kinematic applications. Analytically, by virtue of weak models, biases and…

The main technical objective of the activity is the design of a prototype receiving antenna in Ka-Band for satellite navigation. To reach this objective, suitable antenna design solutions will be identified that may fit to small satellite platforms (eg nU Cubesats), by either being small in dimensions of deployable. The proposed design concepts must meet the requirements for navigation functions…
