Scientific Service Support based on GALILEO E5 Receivers

Objective

GALILEO will offer one dedicated signal which is superior to all other signals that are or will be available in space, namely the broadband signal E5. This signal as well as its sub-carriers E5a and E5b will feature an ultimately low range noise in the centimetre range as well as the lowest multipath error impact ever observed in the history of satellite navigation which can be in the range of a couple of centimetres in benign environments and is by far smaller than the multipath errors on all other signals in all other environments as well.

Up to now, much development efforts are put into dual- and multi-frequency GNSS receivers. The scientitifc community actually focuses on this type of device, because it is commonly believed that more than one frequency is needed to get rid of the ionospheric delay error. This, however, it not true. An E5 single-frequency system can also be used for precise positioning in the future leading the way to new and innovative processing strategies based up receiver which can be cheaper than multi-frequency systems.

The main motivation for the SX5 project proposal is: (1) The best-possible use of the E5 broadband signal for scientific applications. (2) The provision of full configuration flexibility of a receiver to scientists. (3) The implementation and validation of an application prototype and its demonstration to the scientific user community.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
