SNACS – The Satellite Navigation Radio Channel Signal Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A versatile GNSS signal simulation tool for time-domain simulations at sample-level with a focus on wave propagation effects, such as multipath or atmospheric disturbances, is introduced. The Satellite Navigation Radio Channel Signal Simulator (SNACS) uses a modular, object-oriented approach implemented in C++. The application is thoroughly designed in a multi-threaded way to provide highly accurate simulation results in a reasonable processing time. SNACS not only fills the gap of a software tool using models of the GNSS channel from a GNSS signal generator as input for a GNSS software receiver, it also provides an implementation that spans the whole simulation chain from the transmitter to the receiver loops. SNACS can be adopted and enhanced easily since it is published under an open source license.

Evaluation of Geometric and Atmospheric Doppler for GNSS-RO Payloads
To reduce the sampling rate in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-radio occultation receivers, it is essential to establish a suitable estimation of Doppler frequency from the received signal in the satellite onboard receiver. This receiver is usually located on low earth orbit satellite and receives GNSS satellites signal in the occultation situation. The occurred Doppler on the signal ...

This paper is focused upon implementation aspects of a real-time simulator applicable to narrowband land mobile satellite channels. The satellite channel is mainly affected by shadowing. If a direct signal component exists (line of sight (LOS) conditions), the channel is in a so-called good/clear state and the probability density function (pdf) of the signal amplitude is Rician distributed. The...
