Receivers for Open Service (OS) signals

Expertise and products

  • Developing customer-specific solutions, also through the use of commercial GNSS components:
    • Adapting the RTKLIB to low-cost receivers for high-precision applications 
  • Adapting and expanding components based on the GNSS receiver development platform (GOOSE):
    • Support for multisystem, multifrequency signal processing (GPS L1, L2C, L5; Galileo E1B, E5AltBOC; GLONASS G1; BeiDou B1; etc.)
    • Sensor fusion: deep coupling with inertial sensors
    • Vector tracking with an open interface and support for customer-specific solutions
    • Fast acquisition
    • Carrier phase solution
  • GNSS simulators for multiband, multisystem OS signals (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) incl. regional and SBAS systems (QZSS, WAAS, EGNOS) with generated inertial test signals
  • GOOSE receiver platform for rapid prototyping, smart antenna, proof of concept, etc.
