Multi-GNSS Relative Positioning with Fixed Inter-System Ambiguity

Penalized GNSS Ambiguity Resolution

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) carrier phase ambiguity resolution is the process of resolving the carrier phase ambiguities as integers. It is the key to fast and high precision GNSS positioning and it applies to a great variety of GNSS models which are currently in use in navigation, surveying, geodesy and geophysics. A new principle of carrier phase ambiguity resolution is introduc...

Multi-gnss Receiver for Aerospace Navigation and Positioning Applications

The upcoming Galileo system opens a wide range of new opportunities in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) market. However, the characteristics of the future GNSS signals require the development of new GNSS receivers. In the frame of the REAGE project, DEIMOS and ISEL have developed a GNSS receiver targeted for aerospace applications, supporting current and future GPS L1 and Galileo E...

On GNSS Ambiguity Acceptance Tests

Integer carrier phase ambiguity resolution is the key to fast and highprecision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning and application. Apart from integer estimation, also acceptance tests are part of the ambiguity resolution process. A popular acceptance test is the so-called ratio-test. In this contribution we study the properties and the underlying concepts of the ratio-test. ...

Enhancing GNSS Positioning with 3D Mapping

The number of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals that can be received in dense urban areas has increased through the availability of multiple satellite constellations and high sensitivity receivers. However, in these constrained environments, the blockage and reflection of many of the signals by buildings and other obstacles means that poor positioning accuracy remains a problem...
