Abstract: A navigation system includes a first navigation module for determining a first position and a second navigation module for determining a second position. The first and the second navigation modules are mechanically connected, such that the first position is dependent on the second position. Also, the first and the second navigation modules are communicatively connected to exchange information including at least one of the first and the second positions. At an instant of time during an operation of the navigation system, the first navigation module receives the second position from the second navigation module and determines the first position based on the second position.

Abstract: A navigation system for navigating a vehicle includes a position module for determining a current position of the vehicle by tracking at least one satellite signal, and an estimation module for identifying, upon an interruption of the tracking the satellite signal, an object blocking the satellite signal. The estimation module is also configured for determining, using a property of the object, a next position of the vehicle at a distance from the current position at which the navigation system reacquires the satellite signal, and the navigation system also includes an acquisition module for determining a phase of the satellite signal at the next position and for initializing, upon reacquiring the satellite signal, the tracking of the satellite signal using the phase.

Abstract: A satellite navigation system includes a first Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver for determining a first value of a parameter of a GNSS signal and a second GNSS receiver for determining a second value of the parameter of the GNSS signal. The first GNSS receiver is rigidly connected to the second GNSS receiver. The GNSS also includes a processor for comparing the first value of the parameter with the second value of the parameter to detect a multipath of the GNSS signal.
