ADVISE - Advanced Signal-In-Space Techniques

This project aims at investigating advanced signal design techniques for future radio navigation signals in L-, S- or C- bands. The study is meant to be nonspecific of a particular radiofrequency band and bandwidth, but intended to be of a parametric kind instead.

• Capability to support efficiently different channels on the same carrier allowing separate reception, e.g. pilot and data channel, or several data channels, etc.
• Co-existence with other systems: low out-of-band emissions and high spectral separation.
• The robustness to payload linear and nonlinear distortions.
• The efficiency in the exploitation of the available bandwidth in terms of spectrum occupation.
• The acquisition and tracking performance and robustness in realistic propagation channels.

Data Delivery

• Robustness of data delivery to fading, shadowing and link obstruction in realistic propagation channels.
• Support of spatial and time diversity (MIMO).
• Support of different protection for different parts of the message.
• Low Time-to-First-Fix and aiding to acquisition of other GNSS signals.
