Satellite Based Positioning

In many applications of everyday life (e.g. navigation) and critical infrastructures (e.g. energy, IT or mobile networks) Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are used as information source of position and time. This requires receiver and antenna technologies that provide precise as well as reliable position and time information.

Fraunhofer IIS develops and tests satellite navigation receivers and antennas for a wide range of applications. Signals from sources such as Galileo, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and SBAS are processed in the multi-frequency range. With this extensive R&D knowledge and our range of services, we can give you the best support for your individual project.
