DLR-IKN tests in GATE
For future safety critical
applications, e.g. in aviation and maritime applications, a reliable
and undisturbed determination of the position even in the presence of
interfering signals is of vital importance. At the German Aerospace
Centre (DLR), Institut of Communications and
Navigation, in Oberpfaffenhofen an integrated and very robust
receiving system for the satellite navigation system Galileo has been
developed. The new GALANT receiver was
tested successfully together with its interference suppressing array
antenna and the multi-channel and multi-frequency navigation receiver
for the first time under realistic conditions in the framework of an
8-day test campaign within the GATE test area Berchtesgaden end of July
2010 (see picture gallery).

UniBwM RTK test in GATE Base Mode
In the framework of a DLR funded
project (FKZ 50 NA 0803) the Institute for Geodesy and Navigation of the
University FAF Munich is investigating on the combined
usage of different civil signals on different frequencies from several
GNSS for precise positioning. Two different navigation algorithms were
implemented in the SW-Rx of the Institute: An algorithm for precise
navigation with code measurements and a Real Time Kinematic (RTK)
algorithm for high-precision positioning with code and carrier
measurements. First successful field tests were performed within the
GATE Test area in July.

New GATE receivers available:
A new generation of GATE receivers is
now available. The more compact and energy-efficient receivers produced
by IFEN GmbH are capable of mitigating the temporary E5 interference
from the airspace radar station located close to the GATE area.
Their operation in the GATE system was approved by the customer DLR in
the framework of a technical acceptance procedure.

IFEN GmbH assigned with GATE operation:
IFEN GmbH has been selected by the DLR
as Operating Company for GATE. The contract was signed beginning of
April 2010. IFEN will now be in charge of the GATE infrastructure till
the end of 2013.
