Abstract

Septentrio specializes in the design and manufacturing of high-end GNSS receivers including all the steps of HW and SW implementation: RF part, broadband chipset, board design, firmware etc. We are currently involved in a number of ESA-supported projects related to the development of Galileo, the new European GNSS system. Septentrio is developing Galileo receivers for the testing of the future system and for a variety of professional applications including geodesy, reference station networks and surveying. This paper presents an overview of our Galileo activities including ongoing projects and future developments. The paper begins with an overview of Galileo signals and their advantages over GPS signals. Then we define the Galileo observables as they are foreseen in our receivers. Further, we describe Septentrio's Galileo-related projects and present main architectural concepts of the new generation of receivers.
