Spirent Partners with Nottingham Scientific Limited for Robust Positioning, Navigation and Timing
Spirent Communications has entered into a strategic partnership with Nottingham Scientific Limited (NSL) to enable the detection, characterization and regeneration of threats to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver systems.
How to integrate multiple antennas into vehicles
Antenova has built a model design for On Board Devices (OBDs) and vehicle telematics, which the company will be showing at CTIA Supermobility 2015. The OBD design uses three antennas inside an OBD housing to link to a satellite (GNSS), Bluetooth and a terrestrial network, whilst obtaining optimum performance from all three antennas simultaneously. The design also features a small GNSS RF module to fix location, which Antenova is showing for the f...
Lime & Airbus develop robust Galileo GNSS receiver
Partly funded by Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board), Lime Microsystems and Airbus D&S have announced joint development of robust GNSS products. Airbus D&S is using Lime’s Field Programmable RF (FPRF) transceiver technology to develop arobust timing receiver that exploits signals from the new Galileo satellite navigation constellation.
'World's smallest' Mediatek-based Multi-GNSS module
GlobalTop Technology has launched FireFly X1, claimed to be the smallest Mediatek-based Multi-GNSS module in the world. With an ultra-compact size of 9.0x9.5x2.1mm, it’s one of the smallest Multi-GNSS modules in the industry.
Production tester accelerates GNSS solutions
A speed-optimised production tester - the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz, is equipped with the R&S SMBV-P101 package. During production testing of modules and receivers for satellite-based communications, the basic GNSS signal reception and the connection between the antenna and GNSS chipset need to be checked.
LTE module offers unrivalled carrier independence
u-blox has announced TOBY-L201, the world’s first 4G LTE Cat 4 module with 3G WCDMA fall-back, which works on AT&T and Verizon networks. TOBY-L201 switches automatically or via AT command to AT&T’s or Verizon’s network, without the need to load firmware. Depending on which carrier’s SIM card is inserted, TOBY-L201 recognises the carrier and starts on that carrier’s network.
Video gaming meets drones
Acal BFi have designed-in the Nano Hornet module from OriginGPS into the world’s first smartphone controlled gaming drone line by TobyRich. By working with Acal BFi to integrate the Nano Hornet, TobyRich was able to design a smaller, sleeker form factor for its innovative drones while extending the range and enhancing directional capabilities.
GNSS antenna offers accurate-everywhere positioning
Antenova has announced a low-profile embedded GNSS antenna, named Sinica, which operates on the 1559-1609MHz satellite bands. Sinica is suitable for all positioning applications on the 1559-1609MHz bands. It operates with all of the public satellite constellations - GPS, GLONASS, Baidou and Gallileo, which means it can provide accurate positioning combined with global coverage.
Multi-satellite module aids global positioning implementation
More online services than ever are based on location awareness being integrated into M2M systems and other IoT devices. The tiny CAM-M8 module from u-blox available at Alpha Micro Components offers a quick and easy way to add reliable global positioning in these applications. It offers the option of concurrent operation with any two of the three main satellite-positioning systems currently in operation - GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou - to provide accur...
Record-&-playback & RT simulation in one RF tool
Averna has announced the industry’s first RF tool offering high-performance record-and-playback and real-time simulation in one cost-effective platform.The Averna RP-6100 Series is a self-contained, record-and-playback solution for RF application validation. It can capture all GNSS bands, as well as HD Radio, WiFi, LTE, radar and cognitive radio, to significantly advance RF projects and harden product designs.
