From Greg Turetzky’s Ubiquitous Location paper, presented at Stanford PNT Symposium.

First to feel the axe, lamentably, was Innovation, an article on the Python receiver; you will see it in February. Also pushed to the near future is reporting on the recent Stanford PNT Symposium; it appears in the December GNSS Design & Test e-newsletter, see the website if you don’t yet subscribe. Herewith, an ultra-brief of a presentation by Greg Turetzky, Intel. The reporters identified this paper and one on BeiDou as “harbingers of change in the industry.” The Turetzky paper, “Ubiquitous Location: Challenges and Opportunities of Enabling All-day, Everywhere Location for All Mobile Platforms,” laid out the phenomenal growth of locationbased services and the implications for design requirements in GNSS-wireless at the device and silicon levels. The compound annual growth rate of GNSS devices will continue, from its current 22 percent level to a robust 9 percent for 4

The technology roaps embrace most modalities of positioning: GNSS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, and SBAS, and cross most platforms, including wearables. “We think that another, unemphasized challenge,” reporters Litton and Langenstein note, “is in the increasing density of these units with the current specifications on out-of-band emissions and the spectrum sharing and spectrum management factors in the ubiquity of the devices.”

EXPERT ADVICE

Loose Coupling — And What’s Wrong With It James L. Farrell

C

oncerns raised about cascaded Kalman filters for loose coupling and/or usage of input data “massaged” in unknown ways are not new, but are routinely excused by requirements to use coordinates from receivers not providing measurement outputs. Often, however, a receiver’s internal 8-state extended Kalman filter (EKF) is not fed with precise carrier phase data — and even when it is, its velocity outputs (being both filtered and unaided) have limited ability to follow high dynamics. Velocity pseudomeasurements under those conditions interfere with IMU aiding.

With a large and growing array of obstacles disrupting successful operation, why design only for benign conditions? The extent of reduction in capability of course depends upon the equipment (widely varying and beyond reach of the ) and upon the scenario. Not only flight paths but any trajectory with sharp changes in speed or direction are affected. Twisting, jerking, and winding motions actually experienced can be reported as having reduced severity, and attitude history will suffer further inaccuracy. A demand to accommodate loose coupling is then best satisfied by pseudomeasurements in position only. This is not an attempt to coax an entire industry into abandoning a very popular choice for satnav/inertial measurement unit (IMU) integration. By “what’s wrong with it” I mean how it’s often done. Believe it or not, there’s a fundamental self-defeating trait in current practice. ittedly, I gave short-shrift to loose coupling in my 2007 book GNSS Aided Navigation & Tracking; all flight data processing results in it were for tight coupling with carrier phase (actually, 1-second changes in phase) included. Some years ago, though, I reran segments from that flight, including takeoff and another segment containing a 180-degree turn, with only latitude/longitude/altitude (LLH) pseudomeasurements and no carrier-phase information. Not surprisingly, it provided accuracy commensurate with quality of the LLH input (how could it not?). With heading info added, the velocity errors (peak transients of a few meters/second near start and end of the turn; otherwise smaller) and leveling accuracies (a few mrad) were likewise commensurate with input quality. I never bothered to publish that; the world doesn’t need more testimony for ability to convey data obtained from a receiver with satellite visibility favorable throughout. I avoided, however, using pseudomeasurements of velocity. 6

GPS World | January 2015

Precisely therein lies the target of this critique: velocity from a receiver’s internal 8-state EKF, fed only from positiondependent measurements in the form of pseudoranges. More broadly, this focuses attention on receivers wherein carrierbased information is either unused (immediately below), imprecise (for example, by using deltarange or cutting corners in other ways), or filtered (thus correcting with averaged past, rather than near-instantaneous, derivative data). First, velocity observables derived exclusively from the same inputs providing position create a glaring violation of independence — but there’s also a bigger issue: Velocity pseudomeasurements with that scheme constitute a basic contradiction of inertial aiding. A main purpose of the IMU is to reveal dynamics with promptness that data derived from pseudorange histories can’t match. Allow me to review some fundamentals here. At UCLA more than a half-century ago, I taught undergraduate lab experiments. One illustrated under-/over-/ critically damped response, a concept so familiar that no math is needed to explain it. Any application will suffice; that experiment involved control of a motor shaft position. A simple transfer function applied to the position signal determined the damping. With all derived from position, either critical or slight underdamping was de rigeur. Addition of rate aiding (for that experiment, a tachometer) dramatically improved response without degrading accuracy. The obvious reason: it was no longer a choice between responsiveness versus accuracy. Both are available when an independent rate sensor accompanies the position indicator. Now, consider redeg that controller’s rate portion of the signal, giving dominance to sequential changes in position. Unless both highly precise and independent, that would curtail the benefit (that is, improved response to dynamic change) of adding measured rate. Degradation would also arise from giving dominance to a more crudely approximate and/or heavily filtered indication of rate. There are differences between that example and satnav/IMU integration (for example, estimation versus control; timevarying versus constant gains; and so on) but the principle remains applicable. When derived rate from that 8-state Kalman filter is used to correct (thus overrule) the velocity history, the responsiveness to dynamics offered by the IMU is being undermined by a process that’s beyond reach. The system’s position and velocity then draws nearer to the output of an unaided (standalone) receiver. The practice raises various questions: ◾ Is that an integrated approach worthy of the name? Or doesn’t the IMU just derive attitude adjustments by riding piggyback — thereby taking (velocity history from an unaided receiver) without giving (unimpeded improvements in response to dynamics, as expected from inertial aiding)? www.gpsworld.com

EXPERT ADVICE

◾ How good is that system’s accuracy

(not in position; in velocity and in leveling — and not from simulation; from flight data with dynamics)? ◾ If LLH data were replaced by pseudoranges for tight integration, would velocity pseudomeasurements still be used, to give coupling tight for position but loose for velocity? (I hope not.) ◾ Since velocity pseudomeasurements are unnecessary in tight integration without carrier phase data, then why use them with LLH? I’ll turn that last item into a recommendation for satnav/ IMU suppliers hoping to compete successfully: If you must include a loosely coupled mode to accommodate LLH-cum-velocity data from a receiver’s 8-state EKF, don’t use receiver velocities as observables. Your system outputs will evolve without them. Appropriate design is required (you’ll have to do more than just disconnect the velocity inputs) but, given that, all information will be extracted from the IMU and LLH data — with inertial aiding in high dynamics unobstructed by superfluous (8-state-derived) velocity data. Accuracy will improve in not only velocity but also attitude — from simpler software. An objection might be raised, noting fair performance when exploiting the full 8-state information if dynamics are always mild. To that I would answer: Is there no limit to how much performance will be sacrificed just to accommodate expediency? Loose coupling already forfeits robustness. Let’s not compound that by surrendering dynamics as well. All of us realize the large, and growing, array of obstacles disrupting successful operation. Why design only for benign conditions? Approaches taking advantage of advances beyond exploiting separate pseudoranges (usage of precise carrier phase, ultratight coupling, FFT-based deep integration) remain ever more in the minority, despite myriad threats to GNSS. This discussion has concentrated on unnecessary limitations of loosely www.gpsworld.com

coupled GNSS/INS integration performance as commonly practiced. Similar problems in systems with tighter integration are less prevalent but still not uncommon (for example, inertial instrument error modeling is still not widely understood, and attitude accuracy reported from many sources doesn’t reach achievable levels. Those familiar

with my writings are aware of various changes I would advocate, not limited to inertial or satellite navigation. Those and other issues will be left to another time. JAMES L.

he first Full Operational Capability (FOC) Galileo satellite started transmitting L-band navigation signals on November 29, 2014. Based on data collected by a global network of GNSS tracking stations of the Cooperative Network for GNSS Observation (CONGO) and the Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) of the International GNSS Service (IGS), we determined that an E1 signal with pseudorandom noise code (PRN) E18 was first tracked at the station LLAG (La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Islands) at 06:08 UTC. A few moments later, the satellite’s transmissions were also tracked at other MGEX stations including the E5a, E5b, and E5 AltBOC signals. Based on the computed satellite visibility at various tracking stations, the satellite could be positively identified as GSAT0201, also known as Galileo FOC-FM1 or Galileo 5 with COSPAR ID 2014-050A and NORAD ID 40128. FIGURE 1 shows the carrier-to-noise-density ratio (C/N0) of the E18 signals tracked at the CONGO/MGEX station SIN1 (Singapore, using a Trimble NetR9 receiver with a Leica AR25.3 antenna). We selected the signals from this station for analysis due to an E18 occurring close to the zenith and covering almost the full range of elevation angles. The E5a and E5b signals (S5X and S7X RINEX identifiers) show very similar performance, whereas the C/N0 values of the E1 signal are 1–2 dB-Hz higher. The C/N0 values of the E5 AltBOC signal (S8X) reach 60 dB-Hz at high elevation angles, which is about 6 dB-Hz higher than the other signals. The first pair of Galileo FOC spacecraft was launched on August 22 with a Soyuz launcher from the Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guyana. Due to a malfunction of the Fregat upper stage, the satellites were injected into elliptical orbits with an inclination of about 49° instead of near circular orbits with 55° inclination. In November, the perigee of the first FOC satellite was raised by about 3,500 kilometers by a series of 11 maneuvers with a corresponding reduction in orbit eccentricity from 0.23 to 0.16. E18 has been included in the precise orbit and clock solutions of the MGEX analysis center at Technische Universität München (TUM) in Munich, , since December 5.

Furthermore, E20 currently does not transmit a navigation message. TABLE 1 shows the scatter of single-point positioning using pseudorange (code) observations from the MGEX station MAS1 (Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands)

for a Galileo-only, a GPS-only, and a combined Galileo+GPS solution for December 6. At an elevation cut-off angle of 10°, four Galileo satellites were visible from 10:15 until 12:25 UTC (see FIGURE 3). The GPS-only solution covers the same time interval. The start time is not limited by the cut-off angle but an E18 transmission outage from 3:45–10:15 UTC. We used an ionosphere-free linear combination of Galileo E1 and E5 AltBOC code observations and GPS L1 and L2 code observations with a 30-second sampling interval. As the Galileo-only solution suffered from position dilution of precision (PDOP) values of up to 830, a total of 32 epochs with PDOP values greater than 25 were excluded. The geometry of the remaining epochs is still pretty unfavorable. At a mean PDOP value of 7.4, the standalone position solution exhibits a 3D standard deviation (STD) error of 3.4 meters. Use of the Galileo satellites in a combined GPS+ Galileo solution improves the positioning performance. In particular, the height component benefits from the inclusion of the four Galileo satellites with a standard deviation improvement of 25 percent. Despite the orbit injection error, the new Galileo FOC satellite has now been successfully activated and added to the Galileo constellation.

satellites, we decided to continue with the GLONASS-K1 intermediate range of satellites, and we are preparing for the launch of nine units of this series,” he said. He recalled the original plan was to launch two K1 satellites and then move to GLONASS-K2 satellites. “In the beginning, really, we wanted after the two GLONASS-K1 satellites No. 11 and 12, to go for the launch of more advanced GLONASS-K2 devices. But, unfortunately, the plans had to

be adjusted somewhat because of the sanctions restricting the delivery of radiation-resistant electronic components from the West. We have to put a hold on the in-depth development of technical and technological documentation and that delays us in of moving ahead by at least a year or two,” he said. Reported by the Russian magazine Vestnik GLONASS, and relayed by Richard Langley’s CANSPACE listserv.

GNSS Mandates Would Violate Trade Agreements A U.S. government representative stated at an international satnav forum that mandating use of specific GNSS services for applications such as air-traffic control, freight shipments, emergency calling, and road tolling could violate the of World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements that many nations, including all six GNSS providers, have signed. Regional mandates already exist for GLONASS in Russia and BeiDou in China, and have been suggested and extensively discussed in Europe, as a way 12

GPS World | January 2015

of stimulating the market adoption of Galileo receiver chipsets, thus recouping some of the massive public investment in the satnav system. The presentation occurred during the Ninth Meeting of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG), held November 10–14, 2014, in Prague, Czech Republic. Jason Kim, a senior policy analyst at the U.S. Department of Commerce, stated that the United States and the European Union already enjoy a productive

dialog on GNSS trade issues under the 2004 U.S.-EU Agreement on GPSGalileo Cooperation. In that agreement, both parties agreed to consult before establishing GNSS standards, certification requirements, regulations, mandates; affirmed their non-discriminatory approach with respect to GNSS trade; and established a working group to consider non-discrimination and other trade related issues. Finally, the United States and the European Union recognized and www.gpsworld.com

THE SYSTEM

reiterated in 2004 their commitments to WTO rules including those governing technical barriers to trade, specifically, that there would be no goods discrimination based on non-tariff measures such as regulations, standards, testing, or certification. Kim made the remarks in the course of his presentation titled “GNSS Market Access” (see www.gps.gov/multimedia/ presentations/2014/11/ICG/kim.pdf). He told GPS World that his presentation was directed less at the European Union, which has been conscientious of its WTO commitments, and more towards the rest of the ICG , including non-provider nations that may be asked by GNSS providers to mandate specific systems. “To promote adoption of their systems,” Kim stated, “GNSS providers are considering/implementing equipage mandates for various applications: aviation, motor-carrier and HAZMAT

vehicle tracking, car accident reporting (eCall/ERA-GLONASS), and emergency phone calls (E112). “The United States recommends technology-neutral, performance-based standards,” Kim continued, giving as example the U.S. E911 rules that specify a required positioning accuracy and then allow wireless carriers to choose the best technical solutions according to their lights. The U.S. government presentation at ICG revealed particular concern that regulations under consideration could adversely affect the sales of U.S. GPS-enabled hardware in many industry sectors. All of the WTO, including the six GNSS providers on the ICG, are bound to a range of trade agreements designed to promote open-market access, all cited in the Prague ICG presentation: the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Agreement on Technical Barriers to

Trade (TBT), and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The United States, Europe, Japan, and 12 others are also parties to the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA). European Commission officials have publicly and recently stated that they are considering how to stimulate Galileo use, in particular through regulatory measures requiring that navigation equipment be installed on aircraft, automobiles, and other platforms. “Requiring specific systems arbitrarily prevents or penalizes imports of goods having perfectly functional GNSS capability,” said Kim. “WTO must comply with TBT obligations in setting technical regulations.” He concluded his presentation by requesting that the ICG Providers’ Forum add GNSS market access to its future agenda for discussion, and consider developing a new principle on market access for future adoption.

CSR Preparing for Large Indoor Location Market With location industry consolidation, several companies are looking at established players to grow niche markets. United Kingdom-based CSR is leveraging several technologies to grow the nascent indoor location market into a powerhouse. KEVIN DENNEHY LBS Editor As GPS World recently reported, Qualcomm agreed to buy CSR, based in the United Kingdom, for $2.5 billion to boost its automotive infotainment and Internet of Things (IoT) offerings. The deal makes Qualcomm, which spun off its Gimbal location beacon technology into an independent company, a major competitor to chipmaker Broadcom. Long term, CSR believes that multiple technologies, ranging from satellite- and cellular-based to local beaconing, will allow consumers to expect higher quality location services, said Dave Huntingford, CSR’s director of the location product line. “As part of improving accuracy, we also expect to see the emergence of dual-frequency operation of GNSS in consumer automotive — and, as part of improving security, better spoofing protection,” he said. CSR recently launched its SiRFusion software development kit, SDK, for Android app developers (see sidebar). The company says the software will enable indoor positioning for developers who want to add such new capabilities as indoor location tagging and analytics for social networking. “We expect to see good pick-up of the solution over the next few months for a wide variety of location services, and being handset-agnostic is a big benefit for any developer. However, if you are looking for accuracy down in the meter range, you will need to add infrastructure to supplement the location calculation, which can come in many forms,” Huntingford said. Hutingford believes the big selling point for retailers is striking the balance between benefits they obtain from the app vs. benefits the consumer gets — what he calls the equity balance. “Too many irrelevant notifications while walking around the shop will result in people not wanting to run the app, and can potentially harm consumer acceptance of retail applications. The interest is already there from the retailer side as the benefits are somewhat obvious, but the question is, what do you give back to an increasingly technologysmart consumer?” he said. Overall, the indoor location market is attracting major 14

GPS World | January 2015

interest in retailers — which is refreshing to many industry observers after seeing online sales cut into brick-and-mortar stores’ profits. “iBeacons and other beacons proved to be the fastest location-proximity technologies that are being deployed full scale by Macy’s, CVS, and other retailers for a first quarter 2015 rollout,” said Kris Kolodziej, an indoor location-based services advisor. “I see more acquisitions like the one of Groupon acquiring Swarm Mobile, a beacon platform for smaller tier-two retailers and businesses. In addition, we will see more partnerships like the one between Gimbal and Urban Airship to provide a holistic outdoor-indoor solution for geofencing and engagement platforms.”

About the SiRFusion Software SDK On November 20, CSR launched its SiRFusion Software Development Kit (SDK) for Android application developers. The solution enables indoor positioning for Android developers looking to create next-generation apps. According to CSR, app developers can leverage the SiRFusion library to rapidly integrate new locationbased capabilities and services such as indoor location tagging and analytics for social networking applications, indoor navigation, lone-worker efficiency and safety capabilities, as well as indoor asset tracking and targeted e-commerce services. SiRFusion combines real-time Wi-Fi signals, satellite positioning information, pedestrian dead reckoning, and the company’s cloud-based CSR Positioning Center to calculate accurate indoor location. www.gpsworld.com

SURVEY / UAV

FAA Grants UAS Exemption to Trimble Navigation The Federal Aviation istration (FAA) in December granted five regulatory exemptions for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operations to four companies representing several industries that promise to benefit from UAS technology, including Trimble Navigation Ltd. “Unmanned aircraft offer a tremendous opportunity to spur innovation and economic activity by enabling many businesses to develop better products and services for their customers and the American public,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said. “We want to foster commercial uses of this exciting technology while taking a responsible approach to the safety of America’s airspace.” Besides Trimble, also receiving exemptions were VDOS Global, Clayco, and Woolpert (two exemptions).

www.gpsworld.com

The FAA earlier granted exemptions to seven film and video production companies. This is the first exemption granted to a GNSS firm. Secretary Foxx found that the UAS in the proposed operations do not need an FAA-issued certificate of airworthiness because they do not pose a threat to national airspace s or national security. Those findings are permitted under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. The exemption will allow Trimble

to conduct commercial operation of its UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution (see photo). The UX5 is an unmanned fixedwing aircraft targeted at the surveying, agriculture, oil and gas, mining, construction, environmental industries. “One might assume that, since Trimble is a manufacturer of UAS, the FAA exemption might carry over to its customers,” writes Survey/GIS Editor Eric Gakstatter in his December Geospatial Solutions column. “After checking in with several people on this, the exemption appears to be only for Trimble owned-and-operated UAS, not customers. However, it doesn’t appear that the operator must be a Trimble employee (as opposed to a contractor). In that case, Trimble, as a manufacturer, could potentially deploy UAS under this exemption and have contract pilots operating Trimble-owned UAS.”

Broadcom Launches Location Hub with Galileo for Smartphones Broadcom Corporation has announced a GNSS location hub that s Galileo. Along with Galileo, the Broadcom BCM4774 simultaneously s GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, QZSS and the BeiDou satellite systems. With a planned deployment of up to 30 additional satellites for Galileo, smartphones with built-in for this new system will experience an even higher level of accuracy and better positioning with faster times to first fix, Broadcom said. The architecture of the location hub enables the main AP on the smartphone to reduce computation load and stay in sleep mode for extended periods of time by offloading data calculations to the BCM4774. In certain modes, Broadcom’s advanced hardware design and increased memory can reduce power consumption by up to 95

percent over traditional architectures, significantly conserving battery life in mobile devices. The hub also recognizes various context states, adding more value to the data that is gathered from mobile devices. For example, a smartphone with the BCM4774 can tell the difference between a who is walking, running, or cycling and provides positioning

updates that match the identified state for more precise data results. By processing the data directly on the BCM4774 versus the main AP, Broadcom reduces battery drain and creates opportunities for developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to determine how this information is analyzed and delivered to consumers, the company said. Other features include additional on-chip memory to deliver complex on-chip positioning and sensor hub capabilities. An API allows OEMs to port their specific sensor fusion code onto BCM4774. Also, additional hardware optimization increases AP power savings through offloading of sensor fusion, on-chip positioning, geofencing and location batching, Broadcom said. See page 18 for an in-depth look at the architecture of the GNSS location hub.

The radio input contains three frequency bands of interest, spanning a total of 15 MHz: ◾ BeiDou, at 1561 MHz, is at the low end; ◾ GPS, Galileo, satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS), and Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), at 1575 MHz, are in the middle; and ◾ GLONASS, at 1602 MHz, is at the top. The radio process in the new triband receiver described here first amplifies the signal using a low-noise amplifier (LNA) to keep the system

noise figure as low as possible. Then it downconverts to an intermediate frequency (IF) and filters the three bands into separate channels. The three bands are then digitized and sampled at the lowest possible sample rate. The sampled bands can be filtered digitally to remove blockers and downconverted to baseband. The baseband samples are buffered by constellations to allow parallel access for searching or tracking on each visible satellite. All satellites in a code-division multiple access (CDMA) constellation can share baseband buffers, but the frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) constellation, GLONASS, uses a separate buffer for each satellite. This is because the memory and power required to store each satellite in use is less than storing the entire FDMA bandwidth.

Signal Similarities and Differences All GNSS satellite signals use binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation. The biphase modulation is generated from a high rate pseudorandom noise (PRN) code that is exclusive-ORed with a low-rate data stream. The PRN code for all constellations except Galileo is generated from linear shift s (LFSRs). Galileo’s PRN code is a memory code with a bitoffset carrier BOC(1,1)/BOC(6,1) modulation. All constellations except GLONASS are CDMA. Each satellite in a CDMA constellation is at the same frequency but has a unique PRN code. GLONASS is FDMA. Each visible GLONASS satellite has a unique frequency, but all use the same PRN code. L1 GNSS constellations use four different code lengths: 511, 1023, 2046, and 4092. The code length has a large impact on the power required to detect a signal. Data modulation is different on each constellation. BeiDou data is exclusive-ORed with a secondary code. Galileo has a secondary code-only channel. The highest data or secondary code rate is January 2015 | GPS World

optimal input match. Following the LNA is an in-phase/ quadrature ring mixer switchedcapacitor mixer. With this style of mixer, the LNA output is only connected to one mixer output at a time and, thus, the optimal noise figure is obtained. By switching the output of the LNA from the I+ output and then later to the I– output, a 2:1 voltage gain is achieved. This improves noise figure and eases the noise requirements of the IF amplifier following the mixer, thus reducing power consumption. The local oscillator for the mixer is derived from a low-power, low phase-noise, phase-locked loop. It has many adjustments, so the circuit can be adapted to a wide variety of reference frequencies and system requirements. It employs a ΔΣ modulator in the loop, allowing for very fine frequencycontrol resolution. www.gpsworld.com

The complex IF output from the mixer is amplified by a transimpedance section followed by three parallel amplifier/filter/ attenuator sections, one for GPS/ Galileo/SBAS/QZSS, one for GLONASS, and one for BeiDou. The transimpedance section’s response is close to a simple pole but with a small amount of peaking. Each of the remaining sections is built with a single complex band-/bandnotch section, followed by real poles and zeroes. Using real poles and zeroes considerably reduces the noise and bandwidth requirements of the amplifiers. The net effect is that the power consumption of the overall IF amplifier section is substantially reduced. There are three parallel ΔΣ analogdigital converters (ADCs), one for each of the three IF sections. The ΔΣ ADC is a continuous-time, secondorder, one-bit ΔΣ ADC, running at

sampling. The combined ΔΣ ADC and digital filtering provide more than 50 dB of dynamic range. Digital processing at 33.1 MHz includes several filters that remove interference sources from the received radio signal and automatic gain control logic that adjusts the gain of the IF amplifiers to give an optimal signal level. A configurable 20-tap FIR filter is provided for each sample section and can be configured to remove wideband blockers. In addition, each section has eight narrowband, single-pole infinite impulse response filters for removing narrowband blockers.

a sample rate of 395.75 Msps. The ΔΣ ADC comprises two operational amplifiers, two digital analog converters, and a quantizer. The ΔΣ ADCs are designed in such a way that the quantization noise is lowest not at zero frequency offset (DC), but at the offset frequency of the GNSS signal. The A/D samples are filtered with a third-order cascaded integrator-comb subsampled at 99.44 megasamples per second. Additional finite impulse response (FIR) filters and subsampling to 33.1 MHz complete the

Separate Search and Track Blocks Separate search and track sections are employed to compute correlations between the three sample streams and multiple reference hypotheses. The three sample streams are buffered in memory to allow the search and track sections to process multiple correlations in parallel. Search employs a prime factor fast Fourier transform with a selectable size (1023, 2046, or 4092). Search correlations are computed by first removing a hypothesis Doppler from a buffered set of samples and then combining a selectable number of code epochs. The filtered samples are translated to the frequency domain, multiplied by the frequency-domain representation of

the desired PRN code, and finally translated back to the time domain. This process creates a coherent correlation vector for the entire code. The coherent correlation vector is non-coherently accumulated until the signal-to-noise ratio of the peak exceeds a detection threshold. Track correlations are computed in the time domain by multiplying a multichip reference code by a set of buffered samples. Typically, the reference code is linearly delayed for N correlations to produce an N-sample coherent correlation vector. The correlation vectors are buffered to allow multiple filters to be processed in parallel. A coprocessor is used to run the filters. The outputs from the coprocessor provide estimates of code phase, Doppler, acceleration, data synchronization, data bits, signal power, and more. All the buffering and multiple processing sections allow for multiple hypotheses to be tested in parallel. For example, on a tunnel entry, the attenuated signal can continue to be tracked while the search section tries to detect the full-power signal. Secondary Code Resolution. Several constellations have secondary codes that limit the length of the coherent integration unless the code can be wiped. GLONASS has a 100-Hz Manchester code, BeiDou has a 1-kHz secondary code, and the Galileo Pilot has a 250-Hz secondary www.gpsworld.com

code. After the time accuracy drops below 1 millisecond, all of the secondary codes can be wiped in both search and track, so the coherent period can be optimized to maximize sensitivity and minimize measurement error. On a cold start, when time is unknown, it is best

to first try to detect with coherent correlations less than the secondary code chip period. When a signal is detected, the receiver either goes into track and computes correlations with longer coherent periods for multiple time hypotheses or continues in search

with a longer coherence period and multiple time hypotheses. The search and track sections allow for either of these choices. For constellations like Galileo, the best choice is to remain in search. For others like BeiDou, it is best to move to track.

Benefits of Multi-GNSS Receivers The ability to track all L1 constellations means that even in difficult environments, there are a sufficient number of satellites to produce a navigation solution. As can be seen from field-test results, not only are more satellites tracked, but more satellites with strong signals are tracked. The measurement errors of satellites received with strong signals will be smaller, leading to very low biterror rates and allowing for a faster ephemeris collection. Field test results confirm that a receiver with BeiDou achieves faster and

more accurate fixes than a receiver without BeiDou (see FIGURE 2). In addition to speed and accuracy improvements, more constellations provide a higher reliability. Recently, an error in the GLONASS constellation caused otherwise healthy satellites to report orbit errors of several kilometers. GPS/ GLONASS-only systems could not completely isolate the faulty satellites. In difficult environments, there are not enough good satellites to isolate the faulty ones. With the addition of BeiDou, the faulty satellites were correctly isolated (FIGURE 3). Each constellation adds unique improvements. Narrowing the correlation triangle allows for improved multipath rejection and more accurate pseudorange measurements (FIGURE 4). GLONASS, with the slowest code

www.ifen.com

rate, has the broadest correlation triangle. BeiDou, with the highest code rate, has a correlation triangle that is narrower than GPS. The BOC code on Galileo gives the narrowest correlation triangle. Field test results confirm the improved measurements (FIGURE 5). GLONASS, the only FDMA constellation, has the least crosscorrelation. GPS uses Gold codes to keep the cross-correlations between any of its satellites at a minimum. BeiDou and Galileo have lengthened their codes and added a secondary code to reduce cross-correlations.

Conclusion Taking advantage of similarities in the L1 GNSS constellations together with careful design choices to minimize size and current consumption has enabled the creation of commercial GNSS system-on-chips that all current GNSS L1 systems and meet the cost, size, and power requirements of cellular phones. The addition of new constellations like BeiDou and Galileo has significantly improved speed, performance, and reliability.

General Notes: 1. “SV Number” refers to space vehicle number. “PRN Number” refers to the satellite’s unique pseudorandom noise code. 2. Clock: Rb = rubidium; Cs = cesium. 3. “Launched” and “Usable” dates are based on Universal Time. 4. The current active GPS constellation consists of 4 Block IIA satellites, 12 Block IIRs, 7 Block IIR-Ms, and 8 Block IIFs for a total of 31 satellites and is under FOC (Full Operational Capability). The constellation is in the 24+3 (or “Expandable 24”) configuration with satellites occupying the fore and aft bifuracted slots in the B, D, and F planes. There are currently 7 reserve satellites, SVNs 27, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, and 38, and one test satellite, 49, near slots A1, F2-F, C4, B1-F, C2, C1, A3, and B1-F, respectively. SVN35 transmitted signals as PRN03 between September 5 and October 20, 2014. The satellite was set unhealthy and not included in broadcast almanacs. 5. The Block IIF-1 through IIF-8 satellites have nicknames Polaris, Sirius, Arcturus, Vega, Canopus, Rigel, Capella, and Spica, respectively. 6. SVN35 and 36 carry onboard corner-cube reflectors for satellite laser ranging (SLR). SLR

tracking of the satellites permitted analysts to differentiate between onboard clock errors and satellite ephemeris errors in GPS tracking. 7. Selective availability (SA) was set to zero on all satellites by presidential order on May 2, 2000 at approximately 4:00 UT. Previous Almanacs provide a history of SA status. 8. Antispoofing (AS) was activated on January 31, 1994, on all Block IIs. AS is occasionally off for testing and other purposes. Previous Almanacs provide a history of AS status. 9. The design life and mean-mission duration goals of the Block IIA, IIR, and IIF satellites are 7.5 and 6 years, 10 and 7.5 years, and 12 and 9.9 years, respectively. 10. GPS World believes this information to be correct as of press time. However, because of the satellite constellation’s evolving nature, readers should GPS information services listed on these pages for more current data. 11. Dr. Richard Langley of the University of New Brunswick provided the GPS satellite status information and compiled the notes.

Performance Notes: A. SVN39/PRN09 was set unusable and removed from the GPS constellation on May 19, 2014. It continued to transmit L-band signals until May 27, 2014. It was then reactivated, but still set unusable, on June 13, 2014, for a rubidium clock checkout. It transmitted L-band signals until July 21, 2014. B. SVN33/PRN03 was set unusable and removed from the GPS constellation on August 2, 2014. It is now a reserve satellite, currently located near slot C4. C. SVN38/PRN08 was set unusable and removed from the GPS constellation on October 30, 2014. It continues to transmit signals for test purposes. Subsequently, it will become a reserve satellite, initially located near slot A3. D. The usable date for SVN47/PRN22 has been corrected to 1-12-04.

BeiDou System Information China fielded a demonstration regional satellite-based navigation system known as BeiDou (Chinese for the “Big Dipper” asterism and pronounced “bay- dough”) following a program of research and development that began in 1980. The initial constellation of three geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites was completed in 2003. A fourth GEO satellite was launched in 2007. The initial regional BeiDou system (BeiDou-1) has been replaced by a global system known as BeiDou-2 (or simply BeiDou and, formerly, Com). It will eventually include five GEO satellites, 27 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, and five inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) satellites. BeiDou-2 was declared operational for use in China and surrounding areas on December 27, 2011. FOC for this area was declared on December 27, 2012. The system will provide global coverage by 2020, or even as early as 2017, according to some reports.

Galileo System Information Galileo is a t initiative of the European Commission (EC, ec.europa.eu) and the European Space Agency (ESA, www.esa.int). Initially, they formed the Galileo t Undertaking (GJU) to manage Galileo’s development phase. The European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA, www.gsa.europa.eu), initially headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, took over Galileo responsibility from GJU on January 1, 2007. The headquarters were moved to Prague in the Czech Republic on September 1, 2012. The GSA’s tasks include management of the first series of satellites to ensure the large-scale demonstration of the capabilities and reliability of the Galileo system. The first two Galileo satellites secured the system’s frequency allocation and validate key technologies for the full Galileo constellation. Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL, www.sstl.co.uk) in Guildford, United Kingdom, constructed the first test satellite. Formerly known as the Galileo System Test Bed (GSTB) V2/A satellite, it has been christened Galileo In-Orbit Validation Element-A (GIOVE-A) and was launched on December 28, 2005. The second test satellite, GSTB V2/B or GIOVE-B, constructed by a team led by Astrium GmbH (now Airbus Defence and Space, www.space-airbusds.com) in Ottobrunn near Munich, , was launched on April 26, 2008. The first two in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites were launched on October 21, 2011, and the third and fourth IOV satellites were launched on October 12, 2012 — all provided by Astrium. The IOV satellites are currently transmitting test signals. The satellites were provided by Astrium. Transmission of valid navigation messages began on January 17, 2013. The first two full-operational-capability satellites, manufactured by OHB Systems GmbH (Bremen, ) and SSTL, were launched on August 22, 2014, into wrong orbits due to an upper rocket stage anomaly.

IRNSS Constellation According to the Indian Space Research Organisation, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) will consist of three GEO satellites located at 34°E, 83°E, and 131.5°E as well as two pairs of IGSO satellites with their nodes at longitudes of 55°E and 111.5°E with an orbital inclination of 29°. The satellites will transmit signals at 1176.45 and 2492.028 MHz. The first satellite in the planned constellation, IRNSS-1A, was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on July 1, 2013, at 18:11 UTC. The satellite, with international designation 2013-034A and NORAD/JSpOC identification number 39199, achieved its assigned IGSO on July 18, 2013, with a nominal nodal longitude of 55°E and an orbital inclination of 27°. Test transmissions started shortly thereafter. The second IGSO satellite, IRNSS-1B, was launched on April 4, 2014, at 11:44 UTC. Designated as 2014-017A and 39635, it was placed in an orbit with a nominal nodal longitude of 55° E and an inclination of 31°. The first GEO satellite, IRNSS-1C, was launched on October 15, 2014, at 20:02 UTC. Designated as 2014–061A and 40269, it is in a nominally geostationary orbit with a longitude of 83° E. ▲
