What are the target groups for the usage of GATE?
|
| GATE is especially for the use of the following target groups who would like to per-form tests of products and applications before the full operability of Galileo: |
| |
|
|
|
|
Developers of Galileo receivers resp. combined receivers for Gali-leo/GPS). |
| |
|
|
|
|
Developers of applications for Galileo, e.g. Location Based Services (LBS), Telematics etc. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Professional users of navigation and positioning technologies and services |
| |

Why has the area of Berchtesgaden been selected?
|
To obtain a reasonably realistic emulation of the Galileo satellites, the GATE transmitters must be located on the one hand high above the test area to ensure permanent good visibility (low risk of signal obstruction due to vegetation, buildings, topography etc.) and on the other hand they shall enclose this area.
Both requirements can be accomplished at the best in the area of Berchtesgaden.

Which power is emitted by the GATE signal transmitters?
|
| The transmitting power of GATE corresponds to the power of the GPS/Galileo satel-lite signals received on earth, thus being very low. The maximum emitted power is in the range of a few milliwatt which is even in the proximity of the GATE transmitter significantly lower (smaller than a factor of 1/10000) than the transmitting power of a mobile phone transmitter (up to 20 Watts) or even single cell phone (up to 2 Watts). |

What is the size of the GATE antennas?
|
| Most of the antennas will be mounted on existing transmit stations of other operators. They are very compact and inconspicuous having a length of about 30 cm. |
