ESA's NAVISP-EL1-077 project aims to develop a prototype Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system, focusing on secure positioning through GNSS and 5G encrypted signals. The initiative includes creating two emulators: a User Terminal Emulator (UTE) and a Service Provider Emulator (SPE). Qascom and the consortium have two main objectives: developing a testbed and a prototype User Terminal.…

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…

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…

RIS-aided localization is an emerging area of research. The unique attributes of RIS, closely linked to the propagation environment, offer an appealing prospect for localization purposes. The main objective of this initiative is to demonstrate how metamaterials can manipulate the electromagnetic environment to achieve precise positioning by leveraging multipath assistance, while optimizing…
