Simulating multipath in real time for receiver evaluation

March 16, 2018 - By , and

A real-time system combining a simulator and a GNSS propagation model reproduces an authentic multipath environment. The propagation model relies on a 3D-model reconstruction of the urban environment, which generates a multipath signature strictly dependent on the location of the receiver’s antenna. This yields important results for a moving vehicle, which may be affected by very different multipath conditions depending on trajectory and location. read more
