Patent number: 11415703Abstract: A GNSS receiver has a first antenna and a reference antenna. From the measurement of a carrier phase L1k of GNSS signals at the first antenna and a reference carrier phase L0k at the reference antenna, a single difference L10k is obtained, whereby calculating a double difference L10k0=L10k?L100 between a k-th GNSS satellite and a reference satellite (k=0). The double difference L10k0 is also predicted using known satellite position information as a function of a differencing vector ek0 between a unit line-of-sight direction vector ek of the k-th satellite and that of the reference satellite e0 and a base line vector ? with a second integer bias N10k0. A real time kinematic (RTK) positioning solution is calculated with ambiguity resolution based on the predicted value of L10k0 and the calculated value of L10k0. A spoofing is detected if the RTK positioning solution yields ?=0.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Magellan Systems Japan, Inc.Inventor: Toru Kondo
