eptentriohaslaunched
its next-generation GNSS
receiver for precise scientific and geodetic applications the PolaRx5.
This new receiver in the PolaRx product
line is developed specifically to support
the most demanding applications for
the Earth science community, offering a select range of advanced features
thatenable maximum accuracy and
functionality.
Powered by Septentrios next generation multi-frequency engine, the
PolaRx5 offers 544 hardware channels for robust and high-quality GNSS
tracking. The receiver supports all
major satellite signals including GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, as
well as regional satellite systems including QZSS and IRSS.
Septentrios Advanced Interference
Mitigation (AIM+) technology enables
the PolaRx5 to filter out both intentional and unintentional sources of
radio interference, from narrowband
signals over high-powered pulsed signals to chirp jammers and Irridium
interferers.
Septentrios patented APME+
multipath mitigation technology
whicheliminates short delay multipath
without introduction of bias guarantees superior measurement quality. If needed, the user has the ability
to activate or deactivate APME+ to
obtain completely unmodified measurements.
Various independent tests have
shown PolaRx5 consistently ranks
high among GNSS receivers in many

Decomposition (WPD)
shows promise as an antijamming tool.
The WPD is derived from the
wavelet transform, which provides
a repres ent at ion of t he sig na l
components in a domain spanned
by a set of functions that can be seen
as band-pass filters with a bandwidth
decreasing as their central frequency
increases, thus granting a uniform
resolution in the decomposition of
the signal under analysis.

The paper compares two

The authors compare

scientific literature, with

using the adaptive notch filtering, the GNSS data.
The WPD-based technique is characterized by a higher computational
complexity with respect to the implementation of notch filtering. This is
mainly caused by the several filtering
operations needed for the time-scale
representation computation. Therefore, the number of decomposition
stages and the filter length need to be
carefully traded off with the jamming
detection and removal capability of
such a technique.
However, the availability of a highperforming processor together with a
jamming detection based on spectral
estimation can potentially lead to a
faster WPD computation for future

Now in its 24th year, the annual GPS World Receiver Survey provides the longest running, most
comprehensive database of GPS and GNSS equipment available in one place.
With information provided by 45 manufacturers on 438 receivers, the survey assembles data on
the most important equipment features. Manufacturers are listed alphabetically. Footnotes and
abbreviations (below) supply additional information to guide you through the survey.
We have made every effort to present an accurate listing of receiver information, but GPS World
cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of information supplied by the companies or the
performance of any equipment listed. In some cases, data had to be abbreviated or truncated to fit the
space available. Contact the manufacturers directly with questions about specific units. To be listed in

DO YOUR RESEARCH
Not all devices are suitable for
all applications. Investigate what
options exist in the market this
survey is a good starting point. All
receivers in the survey can calculate
position to a few meters of accuracy.
If your application demands more
than that, you will have more
evaluation to do.
The supplier website is a good
place to start to assess a products
features in more detail such as supported interfaces and constellations.
Product sheets found on the site
will give performance specifications. User manuals, if available,
will let you assess how configurable
a product is and how easy it will be
to integrate.
Read white papers or application
profiles, such as the customer stories
found in NovAtels Velocity magazine
posted in the Tech Talk section of
our website, for insight into how
others have successfully evaluated
and integrated products or solutions

he historical prime
meridian runs through
a telescope established in
1851 by Sir George Airy
at the Royal Observatory
at Greenwich, England. It was adopted
as an international standard as the
prime meridian for zero longitude in
1884 during the International Meridian
Conference held in Washington, D.C.
The observatorys line in the pavement is a major tourist attraction, but
the prime meridian used by satellite
navigation systems is located 102
meters east of that historic location
(see FIGURE 1).
Some people mistakenly thought
that GPS, or the earlier Navy Navigation Satellite System (Transit), was responsible for this offset. But research,
recently published in the Journal of
Geodesy, concludes that the zero longitude used by GPS arrived at its current
FIGURE 1 The Airy Meridian (dotted line) and the ITRF and WGS 84 zero meridian (solid line).

3D Services to Offer
Underwater Scanning
D Services is expanding its services to offer underwater 3D laser
scanning in addition to standard
3D laser scanning and aerial surveying.
This new service is designed for
underwater inspections. Previously,
sonar technology was the main solution
for underwater inspections, modeling
and measurements. However, sonar
does not provide the level of detail
necessary for many underwater
projects, the Connecticut-based
company said.
3D Services is able to provide highresolution scans and accurate 3D models
of underwater structures or topography.
It can instantaneously and repeatedly
capture accurate data points within
less than 1 mm and with a resolution
of .01 mm. The high detail provides the
data needed to avoid risks and serious
liability-related costs, as well as provide
higher quality, more accurate data than
before.

BACKGROUND
The MEMS resonator used here has an approximately
150 ppm frequency drift over the temperature range
of 40 to +85 C, which is about three to five times
greater compared to a standard crystal. The integrated
temperature sensor provides very good thermal coupling
with the resonator, enabling accurate frequency estimation
once the frequency versus temperature function (FT
polynomial) is estimated.
This FT polynomial can be estimated by periodically
measuring the frequency and temperature at different
temperatures, and fitting the FT polynomial to the
measurements. After this calibration stage, the oscillator
frequency error can be estimated using the temperature
measurement and the polynomial only. This frequency
error can aid the GNSS receiver for acquiring and tracking
signals.
As the temperature measurements are affected by
noise which is also amplified by the FT polynomial,
producing frequency noise in the receiver the
temperature measurements can be filtered accordingly
to reduce noise.
METHODOLOGY
Temperature compensation of the oscillator frequency can
be beneficial in scenarios with fast changes in temperature
(and therefore fast changes in frequency) or when
operating the oscillator at extreme temperatures, where
temperature sensitivity is more pronounced. The TSMO

the receivers clock-drift estimates are extracted and
analyzed, and compared to the results from other filter
implementations.
The temperature filters are designed as a combination
of variable length finite impulse response (FIR) filters
and 1-tap inifinite impulse response (IIR) filters, as this
design yields a reasonable trade-off between high stopband attenuation, small group delay, low complexity
and high filter stability. Although feasible in hardware
implementations, multi-rate filtering approaches were
not investigated.
The filters used are summarized in TABLE 1, where filters
#1 and #2 were used in our previous research. In the table,
BC denotes a box-car FIR filter implementation, and BW
refers to an approximated brick-wall filter (truncated
sinc in time domain). Although the order of the filter is
higher, all feedback coefficients (an) other than the first a1
are zero for stability reasons. The stated bandwidth is the
3dB bandwidth of the filter, (fwd/bwd) indicates forward
and backward filtering, and GDC indicates group delay
compensation.
Carrier-phase positioning. It is well known that carrierphase measurements can deliver much higher accuracy
positions than pseudorange measurements. The challenge
for MEMS oscillators is to mitigate the phase noise of
the resonator, and any noise resulting from temperature
compensation, to allow continuous phase tracking. Failure
to do this will result in more cycle slips, which in turn will
limit the benefits of using carrier-phase measurements
(since the navigation filter will have to more frequently
re-estimate the carrier-phase ambiguities).
TESTING
The static data set collected in our earlier research
was reused for this work. The data was collected from
a static rooftop antenna, while the TSMO was placed
inside a temperature chamber, which was performing
a temperature cycle from +85 to 30 C and back up
to +60 C. The temperature compensation polynomial
(Figure 1) was fit using the clock drift estimate from
running the software receiver with the same data set
without any temperature compensation. The temperature
filters in Table 1 were then applied to the raw temperature
measurements, and processed with the same software
receiver as in our earlier work, allowing for direct
comparison of the results.
Carrier-phase positioning. To mitigate effects from orbit
and atmospheric errors, first a zero-baseline test was
carried out on a rooftop antenna on the CCIT building
at the University of Calgary. Two identical IF sampling

geodetic-grade antenna was mounted in close vicinity
to the LCI tactical-grade IMU as shown in FIGURE 2. The
antenna was split to a reference receiver and the two IFsampling front-ends. The front-ends were rigidly mounted
to each other as well as to the TSMO board to ensure
similar accelerations on both oscillators. The front-ends
were placed in the center of the passenger cabin.
The kinematic tests were performed near the
Springbank airport close to Calgary, Alberta. For a base
station, a commercial dual-frequency receiver was set
up on an Alberta Survey Control Marker with surveyed
coordinates. A leveled antenna was used with this receiver,
and 20 Hz GPS and GLONASS raw measurements were
collected to provide a base for both the reference receiver
and the receivers under test.
RESULTS
First, we compared results from improved temperature
filtering to results from our earlier work. The performance
of temperature measurement filtering is quantified with
regard to frequency accuracy (mainly arising from filter
group delay) and phase-lock indicator values of the
tracked signals, which are mainly deteriorated from noise
introduced by temperature compensation.
The best performance with regard to PLI (FIGURE 3) was
achieved using the forward-backward 1-tap IIR filter (#4
in Table 1). While the estimation error introduced by this
low-bandwidth and high group delay filter was significant
especially at fast temperature changes before and after
the temperature turnaround point at 2067 s into the run
(FIGURES 4 AND 5), the forward-backward filtering cancels a
major part of that delay. Note that this filter has even lower
bandwidth (Table 1) than the same filter used in forwardonly filtering, as the resulting magnitude response squares
with the forward-backward filtering approach.
Only a slight performance decrease can be seen when
using a boxcar filter with 2048 taps, but only when
compensating for the FIR parts known group delay of
approximately 1 s. It is noted that filters #4 and #6
which show best performance are only usable in postprocessing or with significant latency.
In contrast to group-delay compensated filters,
which might not be applicable in low-latency, real-time
applications, the even lower bandwidth 1-tap IIR filter
although introducing a still significant group delay
resulted in best tracking performance amongst the
filters, which are not compensated for any group delay.
This filters performance is surprisingly followed by the
low-complexity 1-tap IIR filter (#3) ahead of the filters
implementing the boxcar (#5) or brickwall (#7) filter

Short baseline test. Both receivers correctly fixed the
ambiguities within 150 s, kept the ambiguities fixed until
the end of the data set, and computed the correct position
with an estimated accuracy of better than 1 cm in each axis.
The position estimate error is comparable between the two
receivers, and slightly higher than in the zero-baseline test
because multipath errors are no longer removed. FIGURE 6
shows the position estimates errors for both receivers. No
significant systematic errors are evident in the position
errors from these tests. The slowly varying error in height
is typical for multipath signals.
The double-differenced phase residuals are slightly
higher for both receivers than in the zero-baseline test
(not shown), but follow the same trend for both receivers
and are therefore accredited to the signals or processing
software rather than to the oscillator.
The phase-lock indicator values for all satellites are
visualized in a cumulative histogram in FIGURE 7. Because the
TSMO based receivers PLI values are on average slightly
smaller than for the TCXO based receiver, higher noise
is expected in those measurements. Nevertheless, in the
processed data sets, this has no significant effect on the
estimated position.
KINEMATIC TESTS
The first test was performed on paved rural roads. Any
road unevenness was avoided where possible, or driven
over fairly slowly where unavoidable. The test started with
an approximate 150 s static time to assure initial fixing of
the ambiguities, and continued with driving in open-sky
and occasional foliage environment.
As visualized in FIGURE 8, both receivers were able to fix
the ambiguities correctly within roughly 30 s. During
the test, both receivers fell back to partially fixed or float
ambiguities. The TCXO based receiver computes a partially
fixed solution between 650 s and 1200 s, as apparent from
the position errors in Figure 8. In the same interval, the
TSMO based receiver computes a float-only solution.
Bumpy Driving. The second test route was chosen
to include several locations of road unevenness and a
slightly elevated bridge (bump) over a small stream, which
was driven over at five different speeds, ranging from
approximately 20 to 74 km/h.
Both receivers were able to compute a sub-meter accurate
position during the entire test. While the TCXO based
receiver was able to compute a fixed ambiguity position
with centimeter-level accuracy during the majority of
the test, the TSMO based receiver was able to fix the
ambiguities at significantly fewer epochs and reverted to
a float ambiguity most of the time, decreasing positioning

CONCLUSION
Temperature-measurement filter implementations were
presented that outperform the previous low-complexity
implementations, but at the cost of higher computational
requirements, more latency or even real-time capability
because of the more complex design or non-causal filtering
approach. Using the proposed filtering approach, the eight
strongest satellites were tracked in phase-lock tracking state

ITS GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME. This refrain from the
Beatles song could well describe precise point positioning or PPP.
PPP is a positioning technique that relies on GNSS carrier-phase
measurements (in addition to code or pseudorange measurements)
from a users receiver along with satellite orbit and clock data much
more precise (and accurate) than that included in broadcast satellite
navigation messages to achieve accuracies down to the centimeter
level. It also requires a more sophisticated model of the measurements compared to that used in most consumer GNSS equipment
and even some professional devices, including accounting for residual tropospheric propagation delay, carrier-phase windup, and
even solid Earth tides.
PPP has been around for more than a decade and ongoing research has gradually improved its capabilities. Until recently, it has
been used primarily with dual-frequency GPS observables. However, the technique is not restricted to GPS. It works equally well
with observables from other constellations including GLONASS,
Galileo and BeiDou. As long as precise orbit and clock products
are available (typically from the International GNSS Service or its
participating analysis centers), then PPP positioning solutions are
possible. And, single-frequency PPP is also possible. The primary
advantage of dual-frequency PPP is that the ionospheric propagation delay is almost completely removed by linearly combining the
measurements on the two frequencies, taking advantage of the
dispersive nature of signal propagation through the ionosphere.
But, if good predictions of the ionospheric delay at, say, the L1 GPS
frequency are available, then it is possible to do single-frequency
PPP. While not as accurate as dual-frequency PPP, the technique is
considerably more accurate than typical pseudorange point positioning (the so-called Standard Positioning Service).
PPP is also traditionally a post-processing technique. That is,
data is collected but it is not processed until some later convenient
time when the necessary precise products are available. Such an
approach is useful for many applications but clearly not for navigation, which requires real-time positioning. But in the past few years,
a number of commercial and non-commercial entities have started
streaming real-time satellite orbit and clock corrections over the
Internet and various radio links, making real-time PPP a reality.
In this months Innovation column, we bring together, perhaps
for the first time, single-frequency and real-time PPP. Our authors
describe a series of experiments they have conducted on roadways
and a railway achieving sub-meter horizontal positioning at a 95
percent confidence interval. Such accuracies may already be sufficient for freeway lane and railway track guidance. But we might
expect even better accuracies in the future. After all, PPP is getting
better all the time.

GROUND TRUTH
In our earlier experiments, the ground truth for the vehicle
positions was computed with measurements from high-end
equipment onboard the same vehicle. Both the antenna of
the SF-PPP receiver and the high-end antennas were rigidly
connected to a wooden beam on the roof rack of the van
(positions of the two high-end antennas at both ends of the
beam were obtained through network RTK GPS). As our
results from this experiment show, the performance, and
especially the precision, is very good, but a moderate bias
of 17 centimeters in the cross-track direction was observed
(see FIGURE 1 and TABLE 2). The suspect cause of this bias was
the antenna location, close to the side of the vehicle and not
attached to the metal roof itself.
Therefore, during more recent experiments, the test
vehicle was only equipped with a patch antenna for the lowend, automotive-type GPS receiver, and attached directly
to the roof of the car, in the middle of the centerline of the
vehicle. In this case, the metal roof acts as a ground plane for
the antenna, improving the gain and not acting as a source
of multipath. However, this setup also has complications
for the accuracy assessment. Thus, instead of computing
accurate ground truth from the measurements from highend equipment directly near the test receiver, a number of

RESULTS
In this section, we present the results of our tests, followed in
the next section with a discussion of important common factors
affecting accuracy and continuity of RT SF-PPP.
Road-Test A13 Freeway (100 Laps). Under different conditions,
we collected a large amount of data with a van, driving repeatedly the same 5-kilometer stretch of road on the A13 freeway
from Rotterdam to Delft. The test amounted to almost a full
day of driving.
2D histograms of the results are shown in Figure 1 with
corresponding statistics in TABLE 2. Note a small bias in the
cross-track direction. The total number of position solutions
was 2.0 105.
Road-Test A13 Freeway (Real Time). The results of the real-time
freeway road test are shown in FIGURE 2. The different lanes used
by the vehicle are clearly visible in the figure. The number of
GPS satellites is indicated by the color bar. Shown is the DelftZuid / TU Delft exit of the A13 freeway, roughly a 300 300
meter area, taken from the Digitaal Topografisch Bestand
(DTB) of Rijkswaterstaat. Note that only the cross-track performance can be assessed in this manner, but fortunately this
is exactly the performance aspect that is most interesting for
the target application of lane identification. Note also that if the
vehicle was not driving exactly in the middle of the lane, which
to some extent is unavoidable, this effect cannot be separated
from the positioning errors.
The 95-percent error southbound and northbound is 0.65
meters and 0.58 meters respectively, in the cross-track direction.

SMARTER CYCLING
Mohawk, by Fusar Technologies of New Jersey, is a smart helmet kit equipped
with an accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and
GPS. The helmet-mounted accessory, due out in early 2016, can be synced to a
smartphone, providing walkie-talkie style communication and GPS tracking for
up to 12 friends and fellow riders, keeping everyone together.
GNSS REQUIRED
The sinking of the trawler Ocean Way off the north Northumberland
coast in 2014 resulted in the loss of three lives. A government report
says the vessels emergency beacon was not fitted with integral
GNSS, so the signal identified the vessel, but not its position. The
report concludes that GNSS should be required on UK fishing vessels.
AT YOUR SERVICE
A new delivery robot is serving
guests at the Crowne Plaza
in San Jose. Named Dash, the
item-carrying robot provides
quick delivery of snacks,
toothbrushes and other
amenities to hotel guests. The
3-foot-tall Dash was designed
by Savioke. It independently
navigates between floors
with Bluetooth and GPS, and
calls the hotel elevator using a
special Wi-Fi connection.
