  • Publication number: 20220326388
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present application discloses a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) integrated circuit (IC). The GNSS IC includes a GNSS module, a memory and a processor. The GNSS module is arranged operably to receive a to-be-identified broadcast GNSS signal. The memory is arranged operably to store a plurality of ephemeris aiding data candidates, wherein the ephemeris aiding data candidates are not provided by the GNSS module. The processor is arranged operably to determine whether the to-be-identified broadcast GNSS signal is a spoofing signal based on an ephemeris aiding data reference in the ephemeris aiding data candidates.

  • Patent number: 8009087
    Abstract: The invention provides a positioning system. In one embodiment, the positioning system comprises a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module, a dead reckoning module, a Geographic Information System (GIS) module, and an calculating module. The GNSS module generates a first positioning data according to satellite communication. The dead reckoning module estimates a second positioning data according to a sensor's measurement data, the first positioning data, and a feedback positioning data of a previous epoch. The GIS module fits the first positioning data to a map to generate a third positioning data taken as a final output of the positioning system. The calculating module integrates the third positioning data and the second positioning data according to predetermined weights to obtain the feedback positioning data of a current epoch, which is recursively fed back to the dead reckoning module for a next estimation.

  • Patent number: 6735523
    Abstract: A coupled real-time GPS/IMU simulation method with differential GPS includes the steps of receiving real-time trajectory data from a 6DOF trajectory generator and generating GPS simulated measurements (rover and reference) and inertial measurement unit simulated electronic signals based on the real GPS models and IMU models, respectively, and injecting those simulated data into an on-board integrated GPS/INS (global positioning system/inertial navigation system). Therefore, the coupled real-time GPS/IMU simulation method with differential GPS can be applied to evaluate the performance of the integrated GPS/INS in the area of high accuracy positioning in addition to the regular evaluation (one receiver mode).
