The specified core technologies have been studied within a period of 17 month to achieve best possible results. In the core technologies review meeting it has been decided which core technologies were used and verified in the design of the GAMMA-A prototype receiver. This prototype receiver was tested and characterised. On basis of this receiver a GNSS/Communication “NaviCom” Terminal was built and verified in a test environment for automotive applications. The car platform for this test and verification campaign was provided by Volkswagen AG, the associated partner of the GAMMA–A consortium. A study of relevant mass market segments and the development of adequate business models complemented the technical developments.

The degree to which the participants complement each other is shown in the different respthe project time. The project started from the market and application side with the iderequirements (425Co, OCN) that gave the guidelines and inputs for the specification oterminal and the final demonstration. After receiver and system specification, the technologies were studied by (EPFL, UniBO, TAS) in cooperation with the partners (FhGwhich were responsible for the component design of the prototype receiver.

4.4.7 WP4520 Robust Tracking Module The objective in WP 4520 was to design and implement a hardware and software module that would provide robust tracking under variable and challenging signal conditions. To provide robust tracking, reliable carrier phase and frequency lock indicators (PLI and FLI) were developed. These reliable lock detectors are then fed to a carrier tracking monitor that decides on-the-fly how to optimally close the carrier tracking loop. Specifically, carrier tracking use either of the following: • an FLL which will be robust against large frequency errors but relatively inaccurate, • a PLL which will be very accurate but might lose lock in presence of sudden signal dynamics, or

For this development several approaches have been evaluated. The rcombination of circular polarization, especially LHCP suppression was the main challenge.

For a better positioning performance the PVT acquires assistance and differential GNSS information from the assistance server. Therefore the GNSS receiver poses a request which is forwarded from the NaviCom terminal to the assistance server. The assistance server provides full or alternatively differential data set to the receiver, which then processes the data and enters it into the computation chain. The multipath and interference mitigation algorithms and strategies as analysed and developed within WP3900 have been implemented within the PVT software. The integrity concept elaborated in WP3510 has been implemented in order to provide reliable and robust position solution based on the integrity information provided by SBAS and Galileo and based on the receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM).
