User test bed
for GALILEO/GPS application developments
The
new GALILEO signals on three carrier frequencies - combined
with the GPS-IIF signals - will enable a new class of
applications, which today are either impossible or can
only be realised together with very expensive and complex
systems.
Development of highly available and
low-cost LBS/mass market applications for automotive
and personal navigation, etc.
Development and testing of new, high-precision
2 and 3 frequency applications (surveying, agriculture,
...)
Development of applications
under 'low signal power' conditions with the new
'pilot signals' without data modulation
GATE provides
a selection of possibilities for these application developments
(in connection with GALILEO IOV and GPS):
Mixed-mode
operation GPS/GATE/GALILEO IOV
Potential
application developers can be provided with user-receivers
Realistic simulation of the GALILEO
system with GATE ('Virtual Satellite Mode').
Simple planning
of the experiments online or on-site, with 'pre-simulation'
and advisory service on the optimum implementation of
the experiment, are offered to application developers
in order to minimise planning requirements and to maximise
the benefits of the experiments.
