  • Antennas for High-Precision GNSS Applications
    Antennas for High-Precision GNSS Applications Roshni Prasad Associate Engineer – RF & Connectivity Abracon, LLC Antennas for High-Precision GNSS Applications | Abracon LLC Abstract: The increasing interest in high-precision GNSS/GPS services has led to the development of novel antenna solutions to service various end-customer applications in markets such as agriculture, recreation, surveying & mapping, and timing. Multi-band receivers and antennas are required to derive a higher-precision rate on positioning. However, using dedicated antennas for widely separated multi- band support may introduce several challenges in the design, including increased occupancy in board space and coupling. This application note reviews how these challenges are addressed by employing a single multi-band antenna. The discussion primarily focuses on Abracon’s internal and external antenna solutions that can cover multiple GPS and/or GNSS bands as a single entity for precision positioning applications. Index Introduction to GNSS Antennas for Multi-band GNSS Receivers Types of Antennas for Multi-Band GNSS Receivers Integrating Antennas in GNSS Applications Key Factors in Determining Antenna Performance Advantages of Using Multi-band GNSS Conclusion References Page | 2 5101 Hidden Creek Ln Spicewood TX 78669 | 512.371.6159 | www.abracon.com Antennas for High-Precision GNSS Applications | Abracon LLC 1. Introduction to GNSS What is GNSS? Why is GNSS needed? What are the available constellations? Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a satellite-based navigation and positioning system that offers a prediction of coordinates in space, with respect to velocity and time, to assist in the navigation and positioning of receiver systems. The service is supported by various global constellations, including GPS (U.S.), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (Europe), and regional constellations such as BeiDou (China), QZSS (Japan) and IRNSS (India).

    Current Status and Future Navigation Requirements for Mexico City New Airport New Mexico City Airport in figures: • 120 million passengers per year; • 1.2 million tons of shipping cargo per year; • 4,430 Ha. (6 times bigger tan the current airport); • 6 runways operating simultaneously; • 1st airport outside Europe with a neutral carbon footprint; • Largest airport in Latin America; • 11.3 billion USD investment (aprox.); • Operational in 2020 (expected). “State-of-the-art navigation systems are as important –or more- than having world class civil engineering and a stunning arquitecture” Air Navigation Systems: A. In-land deployed systems - Are the most common, based on ground stations emitting radiofrequency signals received by on-board equipments to calculate flight position. B. Satellite navigation systems – First stablished by U.S. in 1959 called TRANSIT (by the time Russia developed TSIKADA); in 1967 was open to civil navigation; 1973 GPS was developed by U.S., then GLONASS, then GALILEO. C. Inertial navigation systems – Autonomous navigation systems based on inertial forces, providing constant information on the position of the flight and parameters of speed and direction (e.g. when flying above the ocean and there are no ground segments to provide support). Requirements for performance of Navigation Systems: According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) there are four main requirements: • The accuracy means the level of concordance between the estimated position of an aircraft and its real position. • The availability is the portion of time during which the system complies with the performance requirements under certain conditions. • The integrity is the function of a system that warns the users in an opportune way when the system should not be used.

  • GNSS Applications for Agricultural Practices by Guy Blanchard Ikokou, University of Cape Town
    Application technical GNSS applications for agricultural practices by Guy Blanchard Ikokou, University of Cape Town Global positioning systems are relatively new technologies when it comes to applications in agriculture.

Currently, it is one of two fully operational Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and two more are in the implementation stage. The new European Galileo and Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) already provide usable signals, and both GPS and GLONASS are currently undergoing significant modernization, which adds more capacity, more signals, better accuracy, and interoperability, etc. Meanwhile, there has been significant technological development in GNSS equipment (in some cases, even at low-cost), which is now able to collect measurements at much higher rates (up to 100 Hz), thus presenting new possibilities. On the one hand, the new developments in GNSS offer a broad range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations, in both post-processing and real-time; on the other, this results in new problems and challenges in data processing that increase the need for GNSS research.
