  • System and method to reduce PPP filter convergence time using LEO frequency band signals
    Patent number: 11740364
    Abstract: A method of enhancing the accuracy of a navigation system which includes a GNSS receiver. The method includes receiving navigation signals from at least one GNSS constellation and a LEO constellation. Position estimates will be made through implementation of a filter using successive readings of pseudoranges and carrier-phase measurements from the GNSS constellation and carrier-phase measurements from the LEO constellation.
    Type: Grant
