  • Patent number: 9529070
    Abstract: A radionavigation signal tracking device comprises a first and a second tracking stage for radionavigation signals. The first tracking stage comprises a first carrier phase-locked loop. The latter produces a first error signal arising from a phase difference between the first carrier and its replica. The phase of the replica of the first carrier is adjusted with the first error signal. The second tracking stage comprises a second carrier phase-locked loop. The latter produces a second error signal arising from a difference between the first phase difference and a phase difference between the second carrier and the replica thereof. The phase of the replica of the second carrier is adjusted with the first and second error signals.

  • Patent number: 8508405
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for protecting a radionavigation receiver user in relation to aberrant pseudo-range measurements. In the method, a measurement error is detected by a statistical estimation scheme based on calculating the residuals of the measurements.

  • Publication number: 20110122022
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for protecting a radionavigation receiver user in relation to aberrant pseudo-range measurements. In the method, a measurement error is detected by a statistical estimation scheme based on calculating the residuals of the measurements. This method makes it possible, in particular, in a manner which is autonomous of any ground segment (therefore implementing a RAIM functionality) to boost the performance of an off-the-shelf receiver (termed “primary”) without any integrity function, to detect possible errors contaminating measurements on input to the calculation of the position, through the use of a robust estimation statistical algorithm, that is to say one truly unaffected by measurement errors, and implementing a dynamic criterion, and to calculate a robust correction for the position provided by the primary receiver by excluding such an error if it is detected.
