  240A: GALILEO I
Design, Development and Signal Processing

Register for this tutorial  ~  Back to main tutorials page

Europe is developing Galileo, its own global satellite navigation and positioning system. The 2 half-day courses (240A-B) inform attendees about the state-of-the-art design and development of Galileo, outlines the overall architecture, the frequency and signal plan and presents the navigation and timing performance.

Galileo Signal Choices I
• E6, Commercial Channel
• E5, AltBOC
Navigation Message
• Types
• Uses Cases
• Structures
• Conclusion

Galileo Receiver Design and Performance
• Overview Galileo TUS & GRC main features and drivers
Receiver Signal Processing I
• Antenna
• RF/IF front end: architecture trade-offs; sub-sampling/BandPass sampling; RF-building blocks; ADC

Level: Familiarity with GPS and DGPS is assumed. This session is designed to be taken in conjunction with 240B, which follows it, and may not stand alone comprehensively without that additional material.

Galileo Receiver Design and Performance
Receiver Signal Processing II
• Digital baseband processing
• Acquisition & trade-offs: architectures (serial, parallel, code matched filter + FFT); detectors (single trial, tong); BOC acquisition specifics (SSB, DSB, BOC, Bump jumping); trade-off summary
• Final steps in acquisition
• TTFF, TTP
• Tracking
• DLL: loop, discriminators, S-curve, Loop filter, NCO, performance

Receiver Signal Processing III
• Narrow correlator (BW vs correlator spacing); carrier aiding; carrier smoothing; loss of lock; pseudo range
• FLL: loop, discriminators, S-curve, performance; loss of lock
• PLL/Costas: loop, discriminators, S-curve, performance; loss of lock; loop order Interference
• Multipath
• Iono scintillation
Receiver Navigation & Integrity Processing
• Measurement preprocessing
• PVT
• Integrity

Analysis SubSystem
• GETR lab & GIOVE-A/-B first results

Summary; Q & A session

Level: Knowledge of the overall design of Galileo (Course 240A) is assumed. This session is designed to be taken in conjunction with 240A, which precedes it, and may not stand alone comprehensively without that additional material.
