A Novel Single Differencing Measurement for Multipath Detection (2023)
Journal Article
Alcock, M., & Blunt, P. (2023). A Novel Single Differencing Measurement for Multipath Detection. Remote Sensing, 15(22), Article 5312. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15225312

Increased global dependence on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) has resulted in a high demand for greater precision and reliable measurements from GNSS receivers. The multipath problem is the single largest source of errors in modernised G... Read More about A Novel Single Differencing Measurement for Multipath Detection.

Methodology for optimizing a Constellation of a Lunar Global Navigation System with a multi-objective optimization algorithm (2023)
Journal Article

Interference Mitigation for GNSS Receivers Using FFT Excision Filtering Implemented on an FPGA (2022)
Journal Article
Yousif, T., & Blunt, P. (2022). Interference Mitigation for GNSS Receivers Using FFT Excision Filtering Implemented on an FPGA. Eng, 3(4), 439-466. https://doi.org/10.3390/eng3040032

GNSS receivers process signals with very low received power levels (<−160 dBW) and, therefore GNSS signals are susceptible to interference. Interference mitigation algorithms have become common in GNSS receiver designs in both professional and mass-m...
