Preamble search results

Preamble search has been implemented and shows good results on data channel (1s interval detected between most of the peaks on 1ms and 4ms correlation results).

Secondary code search has also been tested on the pilot channel for verification.

Tracking of pilot channel (with Bump-Jump algorithme) is used to initiate the tacking on the data channel.

Galileo tracking the 20/08/2013

Galileo tracking achieved the 20/08/2013 for PRN11, PRN19 and PRN20 and shows good results of the SDR as well as the shape of the Galileo message transmitted by the satellites :

Further update of the SDR will consist into de-interleaving and viterbi decoding of the bits, then decoding of the message will allow to get the navigation data.

Galileo PVT planned

Major milestones have been successfully passed on the development of the SDR allowing tracking of all Galileo satellites (some pictures will come soon).

Further development will allow to perform a PVT with the 4 current Galileo satellites before the end of this year !

Galileo First fix

Here is a news from the ESA, first position fix using Galileo signals has been established :
