The activity is a development of a space segment compact C-Band LNA for use in Geostationary and Non-Geostationary Orbits. Its primary target is SBAS applications, but the Product will be capable to cover the full C-Band. The key function of the unit is to receive a signal at Uplink C-Band to feed the signal into the C-to L-Band downconverter for L-Band signal processing. Typical input signals…

The activity is a development and qualification of a Compact Versatile SBAS down converter, for use in GEO and MEO Satellites distributing augmentation data for more accurate positioning. Satellite Based Augmentation Systems have regional systems like EGNOS in Europe, WAAS in the US, MSAS in Japan and so on. Such functions have been embarked on multiple satellites of the last decades, and will…

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become the primary marine aid-to-navigation and source of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information. Yet, all GNSS are vulnerable to natural interference, deliberate and accidental jamming and spoofing. Trials have demonstrated that degraded GNSS produce hazardously misleading information and erroneous vessel positions without an alarm being…

The Indra Navia Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is currently transmitting corrections and integrity data for GPS only as this has been standardized by ICAO. ICAO is currently considering to amend the ICAO standards to include Galileo. The forecasted GAST F standard will be using multiple GNSS constellations and multiple frequencies (DFMC). The purpose of this project is to secure the…

Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information is widely used for a range of critical services. The main sources for PNT information are GNSS satellites. The RF signals provided by the GNSS satellites covers wide areas but are quite weak and vulnerable to unintentional or intentional interference. This has been experienced in Norway. The aim of this project is the testing of a novel concept…
