A multipath model for the aeronautical channel, which was derived from a channel measurement campaign, has been implemented into hardware simulators. The way of implementation is described in detail and simulation results obtained with a GNSS receiver and showing the impact of multipath are presented.
One of the current limitations to evaluate the impact of a realistic multipath environment over a GNSS receiver is the high number of multipath rays that are needed to model the channel in a HW RF constellation simulator. That makes necessary the application of reduction techniques to decrease the number of channels per satellite to be simulated. The initial evaluation of two reduction techniques...
This publication explores the influence of a realistic multipath channel model to satellite navigation applications in urban environments. In this context we have discovered that there is a tradeoff between accuracy and robustness concerning the bandwidth. While narrow band signals such as GPS C/A, BOC (1,1) proved to be robust especially under shadowing situations the wideband signals lost lock very...
The candidate frequency bands for the extension of the DVB-S2/RCS broadband satellite systems to fully support mobility are the Ku (12/14 GHz) and Ka (20/30 GHz). At these frequencies, rainfall is a significant propagation impairment which has to be taken into account together with other propagation effects due to mobility, such as multipath, shadowing and blockage. Experimental measurement campaigns...
Applications based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning for difficult environments, such as indoor, the urban canyon or low Earth orbiting satellites, have become very attractive in recent years. For a rigorous assessment of receiver performances in controlled laboratory conditions with respect to their objective environment, a precise knowledge of the electromagnetic radio channel...
