Spirent Communications plc has launched a commercially available simulation test solution for the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), via a beta interface implementation based on HAS ICD version 1.2. During the development of the solution, Spirent collaborated with GMV, a leader in cutting-edge GNSS high-accuracy technologies. Galileo HAS will provide free-of-charge high-accuracy Precise Point Positioning corrections through the Galileo E6-B signal, with... read more
Spirent Federal announced a new positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) test capability commonly referred to as programmable power — or flex power — available at no additional cost to qualified customers under support. The new capability allows the user to apply flex power configurations to existing scenarios. Flex power is the reallocation of transmit power among individual signals in GPS... read more
Mode N could meet the need for a reliable alternative PNT system for aircraft navigation. It builds on aspects of existing navigation systems and aviation-certified signals not originally intended for navigation, including some used for communications and surveillance. In this article, a team of researchers from the German Aerospace Center describe Mode N, looking at its signal format, required ground infrastructure, aircraft avionics and the potential position accuracy this system could offer. read more
