User test bed for GALILEO receiver development

New navigation receivers have to be developed due to the new GALILEO signals, which are different to the signals of the GPS system. The GATE testbed is the ideal environment for early receiver developments:


		Development and testing of new signal acquisition and tracking algorithms

		Development and testing of new multipath and interference suppression methods

		Combined GALILEO/GPS receivers for the mass market

		Development of new 2- and 3- frequency receivers with improved precision and robustness

		Genuine 2D/3D navigation

The development of receivers is the basis for many new applications. Especially the highly-robust combined GPS/GALILEO receivers, which are able to operate/navigate even in difficult environments (such as urban areas), will give satellite navigation an important impetus.

The possibility of experimenting with various different signal conditions in a flexible testbed allows producers of receivers to significantly improve their prototypes. Especially the possibility of providing the receiver producers with a signal environment for navigation (simultaneous reception of at least 4 satellite signals) and integrity applications (5 signals) on the ground, even before the full GALILEO satellite constellation will be available, furnishes manufacturers with strategic advantages in developing their devices and for the subsequent commercial marketing.

Additionally, the integration of GALILEO IOV satellites allows a seamless transition from the ground-based GATE to the full GALILEO constellation in orbit. In this way, receiver manufacturers can prepare themselves for GALILEO step by step.

'GATE - tested'! - An important quality feature for the future development of receivers - And the decisive head start for commercial success!
