EU funding project “Development of Special Navigation Modules on the Base of Highly Integrated Chipsets”

 

To offer customers modern solutions and appropriate design techniques according to the actual market needs, NTLAB continuously invests into R&D activities. That’s why in 2018 NTLAB has started to implement EU funded project “Development of Special Navigation Modules on the Base of Highly Integrated Chipsets”.

Goal of the project – to provide competive devices for a consumer market which starts to require professinal-level solutions at affordable cost. Emerging markets such as ADAS require higly precize positioning as well as ability to work under any circumstances, including intentional interference to GPS signals from multiple noise sources. To solve the task, it requires to conduct a scientific research, during which products prototypes developed, tested on special equipment under conditions of intentional and unintentional interference, and the preparation for the serial production of the products. This project aims to develop high-precision RTK (real-time kinematics) and anti-jamming (AJ) modules. Currently, existing modules in the market are not suitable for the civilian industry due to their high cost and/or poor technical specifications. NTLAB creates products that are accessible to the mass market while featuring highly precise location determination. During the project, microchips used in module production were improved. The newly developed microchips are characterized by high efficiency, allowing reduction of the final product’s cost and an enhancement of location determination functions.

EU funding project “HAS enabled universal GNSS receiver for precision agriculture

 

GNSS correction services at decimeter and centimeter levels have been available for more than a decade and provided by the main GNSS augmentation service providers, and farmers subscribe to relatively expensive GNSS correction services tailored to each user. The introduction of High Accuracy free of charge Service (HAS) through the Galileo program is a breakthrough technological advance for current and new potential applications especially for small farms with a limited budget. Moreover, positioning solutions in GNSS receiver should combine the use of Galileo HAS with independent measurements derived PVT solutions from multi-frequencies Galileo, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou constellations and from IMU sensors to achieve better accuracy, availability, sensitivity and robustness against interference and deliver a robust and enhanced positioning service.
