Munich Satellite Navigation Summit 2007 - Review in “Coordinates” [HH - 02 May 07]
Prof. Hein gibt Interview für die Märzausgabe der Coordinates Auf die Frage, wann Galileo in der Realität wirklich nutzbar werden wird, antwortete Hein, dass das System ab 2012 verfügbar sein würde. Bis dahin gelte es allerdings, sich einigen Herausforderungen zu stellen. Zum einen müsse die Finanzierung des Projekts für die Zukunft geklärt werden, zum anderen fehle es noch an einer genauen Definierung aller Nutzer und Anwendungen des PRS (Public Regulated Service). Hein ließ keinen Zweifel daran, dass es aufgrund der zahlreichen Galileo - Partner eine Zeit dauere, bis man sich auf Zielrichtungen und Maßnahmen einigen könne.

Die Summer School startet am 2. September und endet am 9. September 2007.

Professor David Last vom Royal Institute of Navigation (GB) hält Gastvortrag Diese Pressemitteilung als PDF... Vorlesungsfolien (Bitte beachten Sie das Copyright!)Mehr über den kritischen und eigenwilligen Vortrag: http://www.mycoordinates.org/satellitenavigation-truthnmyths.php Professor David Last from the Royal Institute of Navigation (GB) gave a lecture The president of the Royal Institute of Navigation visited the Institute of Geodesy and Navigation on Thursday, March 15th. His lecture "Satellite Navigation - Truths or Myths" in the scope of the "Geodätisches Kolloquium" was dealing with all the half-truths about satellite navigation and problems concerning the security. Last pointed out that every "socially-inadequate teenager with acne and no girl-friend, can cause havoc in the Pentagon and panic in the banking system." The professor reminded further: "Satellite navigation is like the computer business before the first virus. And we have no McAfee and no Norton!" Get this press release as PDF...

Those signals are sampled with a high sample rate of for example 100 MHz and then the receiver estimates the user position from this data. To experience the difference between GPS and Galileo signals we converted this data into an audio file, where the data is played ten-thousand (10000) times slower than in reality. Thus we can hear the GNSS signals! If you click on the GPS audio file, you can hear a single tone, which is the BPSK(1) pseudorandom noise signal of the GPS C/A code from 8 satellites. When you switch to the Galileo open service signals also from 8 satellites, you can hear two tones. In effect the Galileo signal is more complex, as it is a BOC(1,1)-like signal. Extending the number of tones from one to two effectively increases the ranging accuracy and thus the Galileo receiver will provide more accuracte positions than the GPS receiver. This difference is even more expressed if you hear the public regulated service signal of Galileo on L1. It has also two tones but now the two tones are even more separated in frequency than for the open service signal. The public regulated service will thus provide even better position estimates. Galileo signal fine optimization is an on-going process and soon also those optimized signals will be converted into audio format. [TP - 05 Mar 07]

GPS signals successfully broadcast with newly developed signal simulator:
Those signals are store in huge files on the computer's hard disc. Recently those signal were converted into an analog IF signal using commerical hardware components and have been upconverted to RF (at 1.57542 GHz). Within a carefully shielded laboratory, the signals were broadcast and received successfully with a commercial SiRF(TM) III GPS receiver. [TP - 28 Feb 07]

Prince Philip visits GATE booth during ENE 2006 in Manchester Prince Philip at GATE booth
Represented by the Institute of Geodesy and Navigation of the University FAF Munich and by IfEN GmbH, the GATE consortium presented the current project status during the European Navigation Exhibition 2006 (ENE 2006) that has taken place from May 8th-10th in Manchester. In the course of the European Navigation Conference (ENC 2006), the conference delegates have been informed about various aspects of the German Galileo Test and Development Environment in the form of a well attended presentation. Both events were officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and patron of the Royal Institute of Navigation. During a tour across the exhibition area, Prince Philip also visited the GATE booth. |
