  • Patent number: 11662475
    Abstract: A navigation receiver, a navigation system and a method of time stamping asynchronous sensor measurements is provided. Sensor measurement data is received at a first port. A signal pulse is received at a second port. The signal pulse represents a time of measurement according to a first time domain of the received sensor measurement data. Based on the received signal pulse, a timestamp according to a second time domain is generated. The generated timestamp is associated in the second time domain with the received sensor measurement data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220308237
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for spoofing detection in the context of a vehicle-based GNSS receiver. An attitude estimate of the vehicle is obtained. A velocity estimate is calculated based on measurements provided by the GNSS receiver. The method comprises projecting the velocity estimate to a body frame of the vehicle, using the attitude estimate; deriving a detection parameter from the projected velocity estimate; and comparing the detection parameter with a detection threshold, in order to detect spoofing.

  • Patent number: 10527426
    Abstract: A system for and method of determining angular position (e.g. pitch) of a vehicle. In accordance with an embodiment, a first angular rate of rotation of the vehicle about a first axis of rotation is detected using a first angular rate sensor mounted to the vehicle. A second angular rate of rotation of the vehicle about a second axis of rotation is detected using a second angular rate sensor mounted to the vehicle. The second axis of rotation is substantially orthogonal to the first axis of rotation. The angular position of the vehicle is determined based on a ratio of the first angular rate of rotation of the vehicle and the second angular rate of rotation of the vehicle.
