Early Satellite Navigation

  • TRANSIT Doppler

– (aka Navsat)

  • 1960 -1996
  • Polar Orbits

– 1100 Km – 106 minutes

  • 5 to 10 Satellites

– Observe multiple measurements off of 1 Satellite

Primarily used by Polaris submarines to reset their inertial guidance systems.

A Short History of GPS

1973 Defense Navigation Satellite System (DNSS) passes Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council (DSARC) 1978 (Feb 22) PRN #1 Successfully Launched 1970 2000 1980 1990 1982 GLONASS #1 Launched 1990 Selective Availability Activated 1994 GPS Declared fully active

  • 1994 – FAA awards contract for Wide

Area Augmentation System (WAAS) 1995 – SiRF Started

1986 – Motorola 4 Channel Eagle ($19K, 22 W)

Q 2004 SiRF surpasses 10MU

GPS - SPACE SEGMENT

  • 24 satellites + 3 active spares
  • 6 orbital planes at 55°, 12 hour orbits, 20,000 km

nominal altitude

  • Free worldwide coverage
  • Continuous signal - all weather
  • L1 = 1575.42 MHz, L2=1227.6 MHz
  • PRN C/A (L1) and P (L1 & L2)
  • Continuous navigation message (satellite

ephemeris and almanac data)

  • Measurement Data

– Pseudo-range (distance to the Sv) – Carrier phase (wavelengths )

WAAS - Integrity & Accuracy

Roughly 4x per year a GPS SV Goes “Unhealthy”

–WASS: 6 second alert for unhealthy SV –GPS: 30 minute alert for unhealthy SV via GPS system

Signal Attenuation - How much?

  • Forests: Large range (foliage type, humidity, trunks)
  • Residential houses - up to 30 dB
  • Commercial buildings: variable, in excess of 40 dB
  • Non-homogeneous attenuation exacerbate multipath

Transmitter Reflected signal Ņ Attenuated direct signalÓ User Absorbed signal C

If the signal is too small to see in 1 msec, we must narrow the receive

  • bandwidth. Coherent integration is the first choice technique.

Galileo System

  • Global Navigation Satellite System built by

European Union

– Operational 2008 – The first Galileo test satellite – GIOVE-A was launched on Dec.28, 2005 – First navigation signals were transmitted by GIOVE-A on Jan.12, 2006

  • Interoperable with GPS
  • 30 satellites in three Medium Earth Orbit MEO

planes at 23,616km above the earth

– 9 satellite + 1 spare per plane – The inclination of the orbits was chosen to ensure good coverage of polar latitudes, which are poorly served by the US GPS system

  • One revolution 14 hours 4 min

External Sensors

  • Inertial Navigation has been around for a long time

– Accelerometers, Gyros, Compasses – Really big and really expensive

  • Technology advances such as MEMS are moving fast

– But MEMS does not follow Moore’s law

  • Size and price barrier has been overcome today

– Airbag, HDD protection, screen orientation, jitter control, stability control are consumer products today

  • Level of accuracy is the main barrier

– Measuring acceleration or heading for their own sake is easy – Integrating those measurements for navigation requires an exponential increase in performance

Automotive leading the way

  • The car platform has several major advantages

– Not 6 degrees of freedom, only 2 – Otherwise, the wheels don’t do much good

  • Many sensors already built in

– Odometer is good for distance – Gyro can be hard mounted to body frame

  • Automotive technology is slow, consumers are

fast

– Need portable solutions with no mounting restrictions

Next Challenge

  • Body frame

– Belt clip provides good potential – Limited dynamics, wireless connection, pedometer

  • ptimization
  • Hand frame

– Really want it inside your cell phone – More dynamics, no pedometer

  • Object frame

– Any item
