    Abstract: A method for determining a wrong synchronization of a receiver with a satellite, associated receiver and computer program product, is implemented after the acquisition phase and includes the following steps: generating first and second test signals; for each correlation interval, determining a first prompt correlator corresponding to the correlation value between the received signal and the first test signal, and a second prompt correlator corresponding to the correlation value between the received signal and the second test signal; determining first and second energy values corresponding to the energy of the first and second correlators, respectively; determining a wrong synchronization indicator based on the difference between the first and second energy values; and detecting a wrong synchronization based on this indicator.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a satellite geopositioning method on the basis of satellites each transmitting dual-frequency signals. The method comprises, for each satellite, a step of computation of four pseudo-distances on the basis of the two codes and the two carriers of the received dual-frequency geopositioning signals, a step of correction of the ionospheric delays over each computed pseudo-distance by applying an ionospheric error propagation model, a step of carrier code smoothing using a Kalman filter in order to provide a pseudo-distance measurement without measurement noise and to correct the residual ionospheric error. The position is estimated by using the corrected pseudo-distances computed for each satellite.

    Abstract: A method for determining protection levels that comprises a preliminary phase carried out at least one time and a main phase carried out upon determining each new navigation solution. The preliminary phase comprises the steps of acquiring a first error value, providing a set of numbers of monitored faults, determining a plurality of computation coefficients, and storing the set of determined computation coefficients. The main phase includes the steps of determining a current number of monitored faults, and determining a protection level of the corresponding navigation solution by using an integrity relationship and the computation coefficients determined during the preliminary phase.
