DE Groot Master THESIS Geoscience & Remote Sensing GNSS Performance Monitoring SiS availability parameter definition and evaluation by M. de Groot to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Wednesday September 27, 2017 Student number: 4089456 Project duration: May 1, 2016 – July 1, 2017 Thesis committee: Prof. dr. ir. R. F.Hanssen, TU Delft Graduation supervisor Dr. ir. H. van der Marel, TU Delft Daily supervisor Ir. A. van den Berg, CGI Daily supervisor Ir. W. J. F. Simons, TU Delft Co-reader An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Preface This thesis forms the end of my period at the TU Delft. I enjoyed studying the bachelor of civil engineering and the master track of geoscience & remote sensing. The track contained several interesting topics in which GNSS had my attention from the start. Many people make use of GNSS on a daily basis without actually knowing how it works. Position, velocity and timing results are obtained using satellites at 20000 kilometres above the Earth. Good performance is usually taken for granted, but performance monitoring is essential for any system. Using a monitoring tool with substantiated parameters can give the system more trust and can lead to new insights. I would like to thank my daily supervisors, Axel van den Berg and Hans van der Marel, for introducing me to this topic. Both were really helpful with all their knowledge, experience and feedback. I would also like to thank the people of the space department of CGI the Netherlands with their input and for giving me a place to work on the project.

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.

The structure of AGW perturbations was reconstructed by satellite radio tomography (RT) based on the signals of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The experiments use different GNSS, both low-orbiting (Russian Tsikada and American Transit) and high-orbiting (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou). The examples of RT imaging of TIDs and AGWs from anthropogenic sources such as ground explosions, rocket launching, heating the ionosphere by high-power radio waves are presented. In the latter case, the corresponding AGWs and TIDs were generated in response to the modulation in the power of the heating wave. The natural AGW-like wave disturbances are frequently observed in the atmosphere and ionosphere in the form of variations in density and electron concentration. These phenomena are caused by the influence of the near-space environment, atmosphere, and surface phenomena including long-period vibrations of the Earth’s surface, earthquakes, explosions, temperature heating, seisches, tsunami waves, etc. Examples of experimental RT reconstructions of wave disturbances associated with the earthquakes and tsunami waves are presented, and RT images of TIDs caused by the variations in the corpuscular ionization are demonstrated.

  • NAVIGATION from LEO Current Capability and Future Promise by David Lawrence, H
    WITH RICHARD B. LANGLEY NAVIGATION FROM LEO Current Capability and Future Promise BY David Lawrence, H. Stewart Cobb, Greg Gutt, Michael O’Connor, Tyler G.R. Reid, Todd Walter and David Whelan ith the advent of smartphones, there are now more than four billion devices GPS that make use of GNSS. These satellite Wnavigation systems provide not just the blue dot representing location on our phones, but also support the critical infrastructure we rely upon. The U.S. Iridium Department of Homeland Security recognizes that all 16 sectors of U.S. critical infrastructure depend on GPS — 13 of which have critical dependence. A recent report by London Economics estimates the cost of a GNSS outage to the U.K. alone would be over 1B per day.With autonomous systems on the rise, our reliance on GNSS will only be increasing. As we become more dependent on this technology, we become vulnerable to its limitations. One major shortcoming !" is signal strength. Designed to work in an open-sky environment, GNSS is severely limited in deep attenuation FIGURE 1 The 66-satellite Iridium constellation in low Earth orbit and 31-satellite environments, with little or no service in dense cities or GPS constellation in medium Earth orbit. indoors. Furthermore, we are susceptible to jamming where a 20-watt GNSS jammer can deny service over a city block. features of these signals are also used to reliably validate The proximity of low Earth orbit (LEO) has the potential GNSS PNT solutions in real time to help mitigate potential to provide much stronger signals than the distant GNSS spoofing.

(There are provisions in the Federal Radio-Navigation Plan for users with critical national needs to gain access to the P code.) a) Selective availability. The military operators of the system have the capability to intentionally degrade the accuracy of the C/A signal by desynchronizing the satellite clock or by incorporating small errors into the broadcast ephemeris. This degradation is called selective availability (S/A). The magnitude of these ranging errors is typically 20 m, and results in rms horizontal position errors of about 50 m (one-sigma). The of cial DOD position is that SPS errors will be limited to 100 m (two-dimensional rms), which is about the 97th percentile. A technique known as differential GPS (DGPS) can overcome this limitation and potentially provide civilian receivers with accuracies suf cient for precision landing of aircraft. b) Data modulation. One additional feature of the ranging sig- nal is a 50-bps modulation, which is used as a communications link. Through this link, each satellite transmits its location and the correction that should be applied to the spaceborne clock, as well as other information. (Although the atomic clocks are extremely sta- ble, they are running in an uncorrected mode. The clock correction is an adjustment that synchronizes all clocks to GPS time.) 3.

  • Snapshot and Authentication Techniques for Satellite Navigation
    SNAPSHOT AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNIQUES FOR SATELLITE NAVIGATION by Ignacio Fernández Hernández Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering. I SNAPSHOT AND AUTHENTICATION TECHNIQUES FOR SATELLITE NAVIGATION Thesis submitted: May 7th, 2015 PhD supervisors: Prof. Kai Borre, Aalborg University Prof. Torben Larsen, Aalborg University PhD committee: Prof. Per K. Enge, Stanford University Dr. Frank van Diggelen, Broadcom Corporation Prof. Søren Holdt Jensen, Aalborg University PhD Series: Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University II ENGLISH SUMMARY Since GPS was declared fully operational in 1995, satellite navigation technologies have evolved in many ways. Two of them are the drivers for this doctoral thesis: satellite navigation authentication and snapshot positioning techniques. The first research area of this thesis is GNSS authentication. In spite of the high importance of GNSS in our society and economy, its civil signals are easy to counterfeit. This thesis proposes novel techniques and concepts, such as satellite cross-authentication, single key chains for all satellites, and offsetting schemes, to improve the performance of navigation message authentication. It presents and analyses a solution requiring less than two hundred bits for authenticating four satellites, providing high availability and robustness. The second research area of this thesis is snapshot positioning. Snapshot techniques are based on computing a position using only a set of digital signal samples captured over some milliseconds. Existing techniques require a rough knowledge of the position and/or time at which the snapshot was captured. This thesis proposes and characterizes a novel method to instantaneously compute a snapshot position without any initial information.
