ipexSR - a GNSS Software Receiver

Main applications of the CRUSR include:

• Early prototyping for hardware receiver design:

With a PC-based software receiver all GNSS signal processing algorithms can be tested and optimized much easier compared to a hardware (DSP/FPGA/ASIC) development. Once optimal processing  algorithms have been found, they will be transferred into hardware. Usually the optimized algorithms are then first implemented in FPGA and then as an ASICs. This approach is chosen in the HIGAPS project to develop a mass market GPS/Galileo chipset.

• Learning and Research tool:

Since for the software receiver the C++ source code is available, it is possible to look into all details of the signal flow. All possible data or parameters can be stored and visualized which gives finally a good and deep understanding of a GNSS receiver.

• Special applications:

A software receiver can be developed in a way to have special processing algorithms, like signal monitoring or jamming detection. Also GPS/INS integration is potentially performed more easily, since direct access to the navigation receivers tracking loops is available.
