Normalized GNSS Interference Pattern Technique for Altimetry

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix, Mohammed Benjelloun

It is well known that reflected signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can be used for altimetry applications, such as monitoring of water levels and determining snow height. Due to the interference of these reflected signals and the motio ...

Calibration of the GNSS Signal Amplitudes in the Interference Pattern Technique for Altimetry

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix, Mohammed Benjelloun

Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals can be used in bi-static radar systems in order to get altimetric measurements. With a single classic GNSS ground-based receiver processing the combination of the signals coming directly and after one reflection ...

Acquisition of modern GNSS signals using a modified parallel code-phase search architecture

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

The acquisition of global navigation satellite system signals can be performed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT). The FFT-based acquisition performs a circular correlation, and is thus sensitive to potential transitions between consecutive periods of th ...

Collision avoidance in next-generation fiber positioner robotic systems for large survey spectrographs

Denis Gillet, Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Laleh Makarem, Laurent Frédéric Jenni

Some of the next generation massive spectroscopic survey projects, plan to use thousands of fiber positioner robots packed at a focal plane to quickly move in parallel the fiber-ends from the previous to the next target points. The most direct trajectories ...

Pedestrian Navigation for the Benefit of Mobility

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Monique Ruzicka-Rossier, Michael Flamm, Dominique Von Der Mühll

This chapter presents the various positioning technologies used in pedestrian navigation. The basic principles as well as the main advantages and disadvantages of positioning methods in the context of urban mobility are discussed. The development of naviga ...

Cooperative navigation in robotic swarms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...

Advanced Algorithmic and Architecture Designs for Future Satellite Navigation Receivers

Youssef Tawk

The use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers for navigation still presents many challenges, in particular in urban canyon and indoor environments where satellite availability is reduced and received signals are usually much atten- uated. ...

Modeling and Processing Approaches for Integrated Inertial Navigation

Yannick Stebler

The challenge of estimating the position, velocity and orientation in space in a precise and reliable way, at any time, with and without reception of satellite signals, is the core subject of this dissertation. To this end, the use of Bayesian filters whic ...
