- Performance of an adaptive partitioned vector tracking algorithm with real scintillation dataPublication . Marçal, José M. S. V.; Nunes, Fernando; Sousa, FernandoVector tracking algorithms have been used in both frequency and code tracking of GNSS signals in the last years with success. Vector phase tracking algorithms still present a challenge due to the order of magnitude of the errors when compared to the wavelength of the carrier wave, especially in situations where strong disturbances are present in one or more satellites. Partitioned vector tracking for carrier phase signals has been used in simulation scenarios with good results. In this work the performance with real scintillation data is shown. Furthermore, an adaptive method with dynamic optimization of the weights in the partitioned vector tracking is included, in order to adjust the tracking structure to the variation of environmental parameters.
- State-space estimation of ionospheric scintillation processes with a static GNSS receiverPublication . Sousa, Fernando; Nunes, FernandoThe determination of the ionospheric scintillation processes that affect the reception of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals is an important issue as it permits to monitor the ionosphere for practical and scientific applications and optimize the receiver performance in scintillation-prone scenarios using, for instance, a differential GNSS configuration. We propose an hybrid architecture for the receiver being constituted by a vector tracking block that estimates the receiver's clock drift coupled with an ensemble of extended Kalman filters driven by the prompt correlators that estimate the amplitude and phase of the fading processes. Those processes include as an important case the ionospheric scintillation.
