Description

ABSTRACT:Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities have become common place technology with commercial and DoD applications with several countries developing their own standard Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). To provide service to multiple satellite bands, a reconfigurable radio front-end that can support all possible GNSS/communication bands with simultaneous reception is needed. MaXentric proposes a Universal GNSS Receiver capable of tuning to multiple GNSS/Comm bands with a custom reconfigurable receiver to address this demand.BENEFIT:GPS has become a standard service for both DoD applications and commercial technology such as cellular. Current GPS technology is only capable of servicing a few bands with receivers with minimal reconfigurable capabilities. MaXentric's Universal GNSS Receiver will address this issue by creating a multi-service, adaptable GNSS receiver. The anticipated benefit and marketing potential is improved reliability, accuracy, and acquisition time over current GNSS receivers leading to potential commercial market value.
