Today, there are two Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) that are fully operational and commercially available to provide all-weather guidance virtually 24 h a day anywhere on the surface of the earth. GNSS are the collection of localization systems that use satellites to know the location of a user receiver in a global (Earth-centered) coordinate system and this has become the positioni...

This paper presents a means of carrier phase cycle slip detection for an inertial-aided global positioning system (GPS), which is based on consideration of the satellite geometry. An integrated navigation solution incorporating a tightly coupled time differenced carrier phase (TDCP) and inertial navigation system (INS) is used to detect cycle slips. Cycle-slips are detected by comparing the sat...

In signal-degraded environments such as urban canyons and mountainous area, many GNSS signals are either blocked or strongly degraded by natural and artificial obstacles. In such scenarios standalone GPS is often unable to guarantee a continuous and accurate positioning due to lack (or the poor quality) of signals. The combination of different GNSSs could be a suitable approach to fill this gap...

Current GPS technologies for satellite navigation are relatively costly, heavy, and utilize a high amount of power. This makes such systems difficult for small satellites to support. In this paper, we describe a lowcost, low-weight, low-power GPS navigation system to support smaller satellites. A key component of our solution involves our patented TIDGET-based receiver design, which takes a bri...

SUMMARY The filtering of the satellite range and range-rate measurements from single channel sequential global positioning system (GPS) receivers is usually done with an extended Kalman filter which has state variables defined in terms of an orthogonal navigation reference frame. An attractive suboptimal alternative is range-domain filtering, in which the individual satellite measurements are f...

In this paper, a mechanism is designed for integration of inertial navigation system information (INS) and global positioning system information (GPS). In this type of system a series of mathematical and filtering algorithms with Tightly Coupled techniques with several objectives such as application of integrated navigation algorithms, precise calculation of flying object position, speed and at...

Accurate position and orientation data are the bases for successful navigation. In this paper, we design and analyze the micro-navigation satellite network that share orientation information among the satellite network. Satellites use GPS, IMU and lasers to align with each other, transferring and sharing the accurate absolute and relative orientation information. Our design includes a GPS and I...
