Start date: 03/02/2020Mass-market GNSS receivers, mostly installed in smartphones, use low cost antennas that need to be compatible with the communication antennas of these terminals. Typical antennas used in mobile phones are simple PIFAs (Planar Inverted-F Antennas) suitable for any constellation in L1 band, such as GPS/Galileo, GLONASS/Beidou. Their linear polarization (instead of circular) and low gain lead to…Subcontractors

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: 27/01/2020Until recently, RTK and PPP technologies have been developed for professional applications, the price not being affordable for mass-market users. Over the last couple of years, however, impressive breakthroughs have been witnessed for mass-market applications. While multi-band GNSS will provide an improved user experience in many consumer settings, the solution alone cannot deliver sufficiently…Subcontractors

Start date: 24/03/2020Satellite data is used in several applications to assist positioning of mobile work machines. The next step is towards mobile work machines having more autonomy. In this development, sensor data fusion, signal processing and artificial intelligence are essential technologies together with 5G and satellite data. Mobile work machines rely more on radars, cameras and local… -
Start date: 01/04/2020Please find the Final presentation here. Compact and low power consumption atomic clocks, also known as CSAC (Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks) have grown a progressive interest during the last decades. Such devices feature the unique capability of a stable frequency and timing reference over extended periods of time, otherwise unreachable with conventional oscillator technology based on quartz crystal…Subcontractors

Start date: 31/03/2020With the aid of co-funding from a previous NAVISP program, Cobham have started the research and development of a GNSS signal protection system using beamforming techniques implemented on a software define digital signal processing board. This previous activity, ‘Project VANTIGE’, has resulted in a number of study reports documenting the best implementation of such a system. Additionally, a… -
Start date: 10/04/2020There's huge untapped potential from wind power at high altitudes. The Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) provides access to these higher and powerful winds using a compact tethered aircraft. One of the problems of the AWES is to have a reliable navigation solution that functions even in case of GNSS outages. DroneHome project aims to tackle that problem by developing a very low cost and…Subcontractors
