    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a user's absolute acceleration/deceleration on an Earth based reference frame. Signals from multiple satellites are received and the Doppler rate for each satellite is extracted using baseband signal processing. Then, using each satellite's ephemeris, the acceleration/deceleration and Earth frame position of each satellite is determined. The user's absolute position is then used, along with each satellite's position to calculate direction cosine vector projections for each satellite. The user's absolute acceleration/deceleration is then calculated using the various direction cosine vector projections, the various satellite acceleration/deceleration values, and each satellite's Doppler rates. The resulting absolute acceleration/deceleration can then be used for more accurate navigation solutions.

    Abstract: A method for detecting GNSS spoofing by way of GNSS receiver of a localization system is disclosed. The GNSS receiver includes an antenna for receiving GNSS signals. The GNSS signals are emitted by at least one GNSS satellite and are received by the GNSS receiver in such a way that each GNSS signal is shifted by a frequency difference. The method includes a) receiving a GNSS signal by way of the antenna, b) measuring the frequency difference between the frequency of the GNSS signal emitted by a GNSS satellite and the frequency of the GNSS signal received by the antenna, c) determining the rate of change of the frequency difference by using motion change information relating to the GNSS receiver, d) checking if the determined rate of change corresponds to a rate of change characteristic of satellite signal reception, and e) detecting GNSS spoofing if the determined rate of change does not match satellite signal reception.

    Abstract: A receiver system is disclosed. The receiver system may include an omnidirectional receiver configured to receive an incoming signal, a directional receiver configured to receive the incoming signal, and an integrity controller. The integrity controller may be configured to determine an integrity of the incoming signal by synchronizing a clock of the omnidirectional receiver and a clock of the directional receiver, receiving an omnidirectional signal of the incoming signal, receiving a directional signal of the incoming signal, translating between a phase of the omnidirectional signal and a phase of the directional signal based on the synchronizing, ensuring a signal equivalency based on the translating, calculating an angle of arrival of the incoming signal based on carrier phase differences associated with the directional signal, and identifying the incoming signal as a trusted satellite signal based on a comparison of the angle of arrival with an expected angle of arrival.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for static session multipath detection are described herein. In certain embodiments, a system includes one or more global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers configured to receive GNSS signals from multiple GNSS satellites, wherein the GNSS receiver provides GNSS measurements. The system also includes one or more processors configured to receive the GNSS measurements. The one or more processors execute computer-readable instructions that cause the one or more processors to calculate code minus carrier (CMC) measurements for the measurements associated with each satellite; remove trends in the CMC measurements to create detrended CMC measurements; transform the detrended CMC measurements into transformed CMC measurements, wherein the transformed CMC measurements are in the frequency domain; identify multipath amplitude in a multipath frequency window; and determine if a GNSS signal is subject to multipath based on a comparison of the identified multipath amplitude against a code noise amplitude.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a multipath error of a pseudo-range measurement value, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: obtaining satellite navigation system information including a pseudo-range measurement value and a carrier wave phase measurement value; obtaining a carrier wave phase time difference measurement value by differentiating the carrier wave phase measurement value with respect to an arbitrary time; setting a monitoring variable for multipath error estimation by using the carrier wave phase time difference measurement value; detecting a change amount of a multipath error regarding the arbitrary time by using the monitoring variable, and determining a time period that can be used to estimate the multipath error; and estimating the multipath error at a specific time point by using the change amount of the multipath error relative to an arbitrary reference time. According to an embodiment, the location of a target can be precisely determined even in a downtown environment in which signal distortion is severe, by estimating the multipath error included in the pseudo-range measurement value, and compensating for or excluding the multipath error.
