GNSS Reference Station Environment Monitoring Unit
Start date: 29/07/2019Duration: 16 MonthsActivity Code: H2020-015.04
Category: Technology
Theme: User Technology
The RF environment in which GNSS Sensor Stations (EGNOS and Galileo) operate is dynamic and increasingly harsh due to co-existence with other RF systems. Frequenty, the operational environment specifications against which the design has been verified are not sufficiently representative of the actual environment that the equipment will face once deployed due to its complexity. Multiple…Prime contractor

S-Band Advanced Ground Modem
Start date: 19/09/2019Duration: 24 MonthsActivity Code: H2020-028
Category: Galileo
Theme: Ground Segment
The main objective of this activity is the development of an advanced S-Band Ground Modem (SBAM) and the corresponding Digital Tracking Receiver (DTR) to support the antenna auto-track function. The proposed design shall be considered as a prototype and be suitable in form, fit, function, and performance for integration to the existing TTCF station architecture.Prime contractor
Evil Waveform and Ionospheric Characterization Monitoring Network
Start date: 19/10/2019Duration: 26 MonthsActivity Code: H2020-037
Category: EGNOS
Theme: Ground Segment
The objective of this activity is to monitor the different GNSS signals, extending the current capabilities of the MONITOR network, and to exploit the database to provide relevant input for the evolution of EGNOS V3 (updated models and reference scenarios, statistics and specifications, worst-case estimates, representative data samples, ...). Thus, the objective can be broken up into two main…Prime contractor
