Design and Optimization of a Low Power and Fast Response Viscometer Used for Determination of the Natural Gas Wobbe Index

Danick Briand, Marjan Shaker, Pierre-André Farine, Gaël André Léon Farine, Conor Joseph Slater

This paper reports on the design of a microsystem-based thermal gas viscometer used for the determination of the quality of natural gas and its optimization through modification of its two main components: the hotplate and the capillary tube. Features, suc ...

A wrist sensor and algorithm to determine instantaneous walking cadence and speed in daily life walking

Kamiar Aminian, Pierre-André Farine, Benedikt Fasel, Cyntia Duc, Flavien Bardyn, Farzin Dadashi, Martin Savary

In daily life, a person’s gait—an important marker for his/her health status—is usually assessed using inertial sensors fixed to lower limbs or trunk. Such sensor locations are not well suited for continuous and long duration measurements. A better locatio ...

Study on the cross-correlation of GNSS signals and typical approximations

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

In global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, the first signal processing stage is the acquisition, which consists in detecting the received GNSS signals and determining the associated code delay and Doppler frequency by means of correlations wit ...

GPS Based Navigation Performance Analysis within and beyond the Space Service Volume for Different Transmitters’ Antenna Patterns

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj

In recent years, global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based navigation in high earth orbits (HEOs) has become a field of research interest since it can increase the spacecraft’s autonomy, thereby reducing the operating costs. However, the GNSS availab ...

Availability and ranging error analysis for a GPS L1/L5 receiver navigating to the Moon

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj, Ban Wang

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based navigation is already adopted in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where the presence of strong GNSS signals and the good relative geometry between the receiver and the transmitters enable precise orbit determination. H ...

Carrier Tracking using Extended Kalman Filters for GNSS Synthetic Aperture Processing with a Rotating Antenna

Pierre-André Farine, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

A single GNSS antenna moving along a known trajectory can be used to synthesize a virtual array in order to apply spatial diversity techniques, e.g. beamforming. With these techniques, referred as synthetic aperture (SA) techniques, the receiver can mitiga ...

Feature article: High sensitivity acquisition of GNSS signals with secondary code on FPGAs

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

The modern global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) L5 and L1C, and Galileo E5 and E1, have brought several innovations: the introduction of a pilot channel that does not contain any data to allow very ...
