    摘要: The present invention relates to processing information generated by GNSS receivers received signals such as GPS, GLONASS, etc. GNSS receivers can determine their position in space. The receivers are capable of determining both coordinates and velocity of their spatial movement. When a receiver is used in any machine control systems, velocity vector heading (in other words, velocity vector orientation) should be determined along with velocity vector's absolute value. Angle, determining velocity vector orientation, is calculated based on velocity vector projections which are computed in navigation receivers. The accuracy of velocity vector orientation calculated based on velocity vector projections strongly enough depends on velocity vector's absolute value. To enhance the accuracy, a method of smoothing primary estimates of velocity vector orientation angles using a modified Kalman filter has been proposed. The bandwidth of this filter is varied depending on current estimates of velocity vector's absolute value which were calculated based on the same velocity vector projections.

    摘要: Navigation satellite receivers have a large number of channels, where phase discriminators and loop filter of a PLL operate in phase with data bits and control of numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) carried out simultaneously on all channels. Since symbol boundaries for different satellites do not match, there is a variable time delay between the generation of control signals and NCO control time. This delay may be measured by counting a number of samples in the delay interval. A proposed system measures non-energy parameters of the BPSK-signal carrier received in additive mixture with noise when a digital loop filter of PLL controls NCO with a constant or changing in time delay. A control unit controls bandwidth and a LF order by changing transfer coefficients based on analyzing estimated signal parameters and phase tracking error at a PD output.

    摘要: An antenna system for a global navigation satellite system reference base station is disclosed.The antenna system includes an antenna positioned above a high capacitive impedance surface (HCIS) ground plane.Over a specific range of the lateral dimension of the HCIS ground plane and the height of the antenna above the HCIS ground plane, a high level of multipath suppression and high sensitivity for low-elevated satellites can be simultaneously maintained.The HCIS ground plane can be fabricated as a flat conducting plate with an array of conducting elements such as pins, pins with expanded tips, or mushroom structures. Alternatively, the HCIS can be fabricated as a flat conducting plate with a concentric series of choke rings.The antenna system can provide a positioning accuracy of +/−1 mm, an order of magnitude improvement over previous designs.

    摘要: An optimum measurement subset with a specified number n of elements is generated from a set of N>n weighted input global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements. A group of trial measurement subsets is generated by removing a different individual weighted input GNSS measurement from the set. A value of accuracy criterion for a target parameter is calculated for each trial measurement subset, and the trial measurement subset with the minimum value of accuracy criterion is selected. A new group of trial measurement subsets is generated by removing a different individual weighted GNSS measurement from the previously selected trial measurement subset. A value of accuracy criterion is calculated for each new trial measurement subset, and a new trial measurement subset with the new minimum value of accuracy criterion is selected. The process is repeated until the selected trial measurement subset has the specified number n of elements.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining a position and attitude of a marker having encoded information includes the step of acquiring an image of a marker by a stereo camera. A center of the marker is determined and then a position of the marker is determined based on the center of the marker. A plurality of vertices on the marker about the center of the marker are then determined. Using the plurality of vertices, a pitch, roll, and heading of the marker are determined. An attitude of the marker is determined based on the pitch, roll, and heading of the marker. The method and/or apparatus for determining a position and attitude of a marker can be used in various applications to determine the position and attitude of objects on which the marker is located.
