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…

To address higher requirements in the GNSS market, in particular the reception of signals with higher bandwidth and poor amplitude levels, Saphyrion has developed, through an ESA contract the next generation of GNSS RF-Front-end ASICs, called  SY1009 and the SY2001. The SY1009 is a radiation hardened L-band RF down-converter for GNSS receivers. The SY2001  is a radiation hardened fractional-N…

In the world of avionic systems, we observed a transition from federated avionics architectures to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) where IMA architectures provide a shared computing platform, communications, and I/O resource pool that is partitioned by multiple tasks of differing design assurance criticalities. A similar transition is currently observed in the world of satellite systems. The…

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…

This project aims at implementing the Beidou signals B1 and B3 on Syrlinks GNSS receiver product. The Syrlinks receivers are based on a common SDR hardware platform designed for small satellites. The receiver already works with GPS and Galileo signals and will extended to make a autonomous PVT (Position, Velocity and Time) based only on Beidou signals. Whatever signals come from, GPS, Galileo,…

Timing and Synchronisation is a fundamental building block in 5G and GNSS systems that plays a pivotal role in the network operation. However, GNSS signals exhibit some vulnerabilities and there is an increasing need to augment them with supplementary technology to secure the required reliability and longevity.  LEO-SYN+ project will develop a Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT) solution…

The main objective of JNRS project is the development of a high-performance SDR device specifically tailored for GNSS applications (e.g., simulation of GNSS signals, SDR-based GNSS receiver, monitoring, spectrum surveillance, etc.), and targeting specific technical and cost requirements that should foster its market viability. This device is essentially made up of 2 main boards:  - JNRS-SRD,…
