    摘要: A multiple faulty global navigation satellite signal detecting system is provided. The system includes at least one pair of spaced antennas, at least one aiding source and processor. The at least one pair of spaced antennas are configured to receive satellite signals from a plurality of satellites. The at least one aiding source is used to generate aiding source position estimate signals. The processor is in communication with each antenna and the at least one aiding source. The processor is configured to determine signals blocks. The signal blocks being a collection of subsets of the determined difference signals and a covariance matrix for the difference signals. The processor further configured to generate a union of good signals from all the good blocks and a complementary set of bad signals.

    摘要: A system for locating an optimal location of a reception antenna that has an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a wireless internet service provider (WISP) tower configured for transmitting radio signals, and an antenna removably coupled to the unmanned aerial vehicle, the antenna configured for receiving the radio signals. Further, the system has a processor for automatically flying the UAV to a height, for rotating the unmanned aerial vehicle at the height and detecting the radio signals from the at least one WISP tower as the UAV rotates to determine an optimal azimuth, and if the radio signals received are not conducive for the provision of wireless services at the height, the processor moves the UAV to different heights and rotates the UAV until radio signals received are conducive for the provision of wireless services thereby determining an optimal azimuth and location altitude range for a reception antenna.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a GPS unit, a GPS information acquisition unit, a sensor information acquisition unit, and a reception condition determination unit. The GPS unit receives a radio wave from at least one of a plurality of positioning satellites. The GPS information acquisition unit acquires ephemeris information by the GPS unit and acquires satellite arrangement information of each of the plurality of positioning satellites acquiring the ephemeris information. The sensor information acquisition unit acquires geographical condition information of a current location at which the electronic device is present. The reception condition determination unit identifies the number of positioning satellites that the receiving unit can capture at the current location among the plurality of positioning satellites acquiring the ephemeris information based on the geographical condition information of the current location and the satellite arrangement information.

    摘要: A system and method generates a phase scintillation map that is utilized to de-weight satellite signal observations from GNSS satellites. One or more base stations each assign an index value to one or more GNSS satellite in view, where the index value indicates an adverse effect of ionospheric scintillation on signals received from the GNSS satellite. The values and identifiers may be transmitted to a server. The server utilizes the received information to generate the phase scintillation map that may include one or more scintillation bubbles, wherein a location of each scintillation bubble is based on the received information. The phase scintillation map is transmitted to one or more rovers. The rover determines if a pierce point associated with a selected GNSS satellite in view of the rover falls within the boundaries of a scintillation bubble. If so, satellite signal observations from the selected GNSS satellite are de-weighted.

    摘要: In a satellite navigation system a navigation terminal continuously receives navigation signals from navigation satellites and continuously implements navigation calculations, thereby obtaining navigation calculation results, and executes in parallel: using clock offset values determined through the navigation calculations, calculates, in real time, changes in difference between time differences with regard to difference between time differences, which are differences between a clock offset value and a standard deviation value, which is the value of the standard deviation of fluctuation amounts of the clock offset values; determines, in real time, two navigation precision indices of the calculated navigation calculation results on the basis of each change in the calculated difference between time differences and standard deviation value; associates, in real time, the determined two navigation precision indices with the calculated navigation calculation results; and outputs, in real time, the navigation calculation results associated with the at least two navigation precision indices.
