    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of receiving and decoding military L2 or L1 P(Y) or M-Code signals and re-transmitting these in real-time as legacy L1-C/A signals. The decoding process of the P(Y) or M-code is done through the programming by the user of secret keys into an embodiment of this invention. These military code signals are then decoded into standard PVT/PNT information which are typically transmitted on an industry standard serial port and format, which are then re-encoded using a real-time GPS simulator sub-system as legacy L1-C/A code signals, and transmitted to the output of the embodiment of this invention as a standard antenna signal. This output signal could be made compatible with any commercial L1-C/A code GPS receiver, and may thus be decoded by the GPS receiver as if the signals had been received directly from the Satellites. In one application of this embodiment of this present invention the legacy GPS receiver does not know the difference and cannot differentiate between signals generated by this embodiment of the present invention versus true GPS satellite signals received by a real GPS antenna. This embodiment of the present invention allows efficient replacement of legacy GPS antennae without having to change any of the system, setup, cabling, or programming of the legacy GPS receiver system. Another embodiment of this present invention may receive Glonass, BeiDou, or Galileo signals, and output legacy GPS signals to allow a glueless retrofit of legacy GPS receivers to Glonass, BeiDou, or Galileo compatibility.

    摘要: There is disclosed systems and methods to enhance reliability of measured position data. Measuring devices, such mobile phones equipped with location measurement elements (such as GPS, LBS, network location reporting, or tower location triangulation reporting) may collect various samples of positions where the device is believed to be located at particular moments in time; however such measurements often vary even if the device is not moving because of device inaccuracy, atmospheric conditions, obstructing buildings, and the like, making it difficult to determine whether such devices are actually stationary or are in motion over predetermined time periods. Systems and methods of the present invention provide for enhanced accuracy of position data by selectively merging varying location positions that are attributable to noise or accuracy deviations, and providing an enhanced assessment of actual device position.

    摘要: A navigation system includes a first navigation module for determining a first position and a second navigation module for determining a second position. The first and the second navigation modules are mechanically connected, such that the first position is dependent on the second position. Also, the first and the second navigation modules are communicatively connected to exchange information including at least one of the first and the second positions. At an instant of time during an operation of the navigation system, the first navigation module receives the second position from the second navigation module and determines the first position based on the second position.

    摘要: Systems and methods for performing land surveying using real-time kinematic (RTK) engine verification are provided. In one example, a first set of positions of a GNSS receiver may be determined using each of a plurality of RTK engines. If a number of the plurality of RTK engines that produce a fixed solution is greater than or equal to a threshold value, a position of the GNSS receiver may be determined based on at least a portion of the first set of positions. The determined position may then be stored. This process may be repeated any number of times to produce a desired number of stored positions. In response to the number of stored positions being equal to a minimum value, a final position of the GNSS device may be determined based on the stored positions.

    摘要: Scintillations caused by ionospheric irregularities during Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements are detected and mitigated. Detection is based at least in part on statistical properties of geometry-free combination parameters calculated from input GNSS measurements corresponding to the same navigation satellite and different carrier frequencies. Mitigation is based at least in part on ionosphere-free combination parameters calculated from input GNSS measurements corresponding to the same navigation satellite and different carrier frequencies. Depending on the number of satellites with detected scintillations, different algorithms are used to calculate values of target parameters from a set of ionosphere-free combination parameters or from a set of ionosphere-free combination parameters and the remaining input GNSS measurements. Different algorithms accommodate stand-alone mode code phase measurements, stand-alone mode carrier phase measurements, differential navigation mode code phase measurements, and differential navigation mode carrier phase measurements.
