DUAL BAND GNSS ANTENNA PHASE CENTER CHARACTERIZATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONSjantjournal
High-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning is a prospective technology that will be used in future automotive navigation systems. This system will be a composite of the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian Federation's Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), China Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and the European Union’s Galileo. The major improvement in accuracy and precision is based on (1) multiband signal transmitting, (2) carrier phase correction, (3) Real Time Kinematic (RTK). Due to the size and high-cost of today’s survey-grade antenna solutions, this kind of technology is difficult to use widely in the automotive sector. In this paper, a low-cost small size dual-band ceramic GNSS patch antenna is presented from design to real sample. A further study of this patch antenna illustrates the absolute phase center variation measured in an indoor range to achieve a received signal phase error correction. In addition, this low-cost antenna solution is investigated when integrated into a standard multi-band automotive antenna product. This product is evaluated both on its own in an indoor range and on a typical vehicle roof at an outdoor range. By using this evaluation file to estimate the receiver position could achieve phase motion error-free result.

Locata with Femtocell: Secure Dual Connectivity in Areas with Medium to Weak ...Eswar Publications
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a reliable, versatile, generally available and comparatively accurate positioning technology, able to operate anywhere across the globe. Nevertheless, the most severe limitation of GPS performance will still remain – the accuracy of positioning deteriorates very rapidly when the user receiver loses direct view of the satellites, which typically occurs indoors or in severely obstructed urban environments. In such environments, the majority of receivers do not function at all, and even the high-sensitivity receivers have difficulty in providing coordinates with sub-decameter level accuracies. A new terrestrial radio frequency (RF)- based distance measurement technology, known as ‘Locata’, has now overcome the technical challenges required to create “a localized autonomous terrestrial replica of GPS”. This paper describes some of the technical aspects
of this Australian technology and discusses the possible role Locata can play as part of the National Positioning Infrastructure. Locata has developed a new type of antenna which allows industrial-grade, centimeter-level positioning indoors by mitigating multipath by forming and pointing tight beams at the Locata transmitters, significantly reducing the effects of multipath corruption of the direct positioning signal. This paper briefly describes Locata tests conducted in a number of conditions, including indoors, at an open-cut mine, airborne flight testing, and on Sydney Harbour. A new system can be proposed that will be composed of locata along with
femtocell to provide users both GPS and GSM services.
Redundant secure timing sources and timing distribution to digital power prot...Power System Operation
The power transmission system is increasingly dependent
on accurate time-stamping of digitally sampled values
used for protection and control. In particular, real-time
streaming of data from networked Phasor Measurement
Units (PMUs) for wide area ‘closed loop’ automated
control applications implies a critical dependence of
accurate, available, and reliable microsecond-level
timing.
While microsecond accuracy is easily met by GNSS
timing receivers, GNSS signals for open civilian use are
weak and also lack effective authentication mechanisms.
GNSS timing receivers are therefore vulnerable to
interference from malicious or inadvertent radio noise
(jamming) and susceptible to ‘spoofing’ with generated
GNSS-signals containing misleading timing and
navigation data.
The overall goal of the COSECTIME project funded by
Statnett is to demonstrate the applicability of state-of-
the art fiber-optic time transfer techniques for traceable,
secure and redundant synchronization of digital power
transmission protection and control applications. In full
deployment , the transmission system operator (TSO)
will generate redundant autonomous UTC-traceable
atomic timescales and distribute timing through
redundant fiber optic networks also under TSO control.
Here we present results from a pilot demonstration of
timing distribution to the Statnett R&D project pilot IEC
61850 digital substation.

Abstract Satellite GPS is undoubtedly the most popular and widely used three dimensional positioning technology in the world today, but despite this, cannot provide the positioning requirement in many every day requirements in different environments, such as urban and indoor due to the very weak signals from satellites. Even with high sensitivity GPS receiver cannot be given guaranteed in all situations and accuracies are typically of the order of tens to hundreds of meter at best. Accurate indoor positioning is required for a variety of commercial applications, including warehouse automation, asset tracking, emergency first-responders, and others. In fact, the general expectation of users today is for “GPS-like” positioning performance anywhere they go. Terrestrial GPS positioning is a new positioning technology, developed to address the failure of current satellite technologies for reliable ubiquitous (outdoor and indoor) positioning. In this paper key aspects of the new technology „terrestrial GPS positioning system‟ are discussed. Particular emphasis is given on the components like PseudoLite, PseudoNet, Rover (Moving terminal) and TimeLoc and their functionality. The technique and mathematical model used in terrestrial GPS positioning system is described in detail. The Results of installed Terrestrial GPS Positioning Systems are demonstrated and compared with Satellite GPS Positioning System. Index Terms: Indoor GPS system, PseudoLite, PseudoNet, TimeLoc

Identify and explain key technologies for evolutionary change in spaceborne communications.
Solution
The Air Force should invest in those satellite communications technologies unavailable in the
commercial sector that are critical for military-specific, core communications services; other
technologies and services can be adapted from commercial practice. From the foregoing
discussion these critical technologies are:
• Antenna systems that efficiently direct downlink power to users (even at unplanned locations)
and reject jamming on the uplinks by use of multi-beam, real-time adaptive antenna patterns
• Very high-rate (many gigabits per second) communications for sensor data relay and
dissemination among spacecraft, airplanes, and ground sites; optical communications is the
method of choice
• Onboard processing for jamming protection that despreads and demodulates uplink signals and
routes them to appropriate downlinks, providing interconnection of disparate users (including
packet communications)
The present state of practice for advanced antenna arrays is to use global spot multibeam routing
and switching. However, recent advances on antenna arrays have provided limited adaptive beam
forming. Based on the present development, a 3 Gbps data throughput rate should be achievable
on satellites before the end of the century. It will be necessary to continue shifting the RF
communication band to a higher frequency with wider bandwidth to obtain increased data rates.
Therefore, it is essential to continue to develop the electronics required to send telemetry at a
higher operating frequency.
The use of real-time adaptive beam patterns on up-link and down-link on communications
satellites has been very limited. Today, commercial satellites have multiple beams, but they are
usually fixed in anticipation of a particular orbital location and an intended customer base. For
military communications, neither of these is likely since the theater of operations is
scenariodependent. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam downlinks allows the satellite
transmitter power to be directed only to the intended users, as well as permitting frequency re-
use (important in the crowded spectrum allocations). Both factors result in increased capacity
through the satellite. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam uplinks provides high receiving
gain that in turn allows either smaller earth terminals to close the link or higher data rates to be
transmitted. Substantial reductions in ground terminal costs will result. More importantly,
narrow-beam uplinks can be used to reject interfering sources (jammers) out-of-beam, and,
through combining of multiple beams, to reject jamming sources within a beamwidth. The ability
to do such realtime adaptive antenna beam formation to create very deep, narrow nulls anywhere
within the field of view of the satellite over the very wide bandwidths necessary for AJ
modulation is not something that the commercial sector will develop (c.
ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE PRECISION POSITIONING SYSTEMSijitcs
The continuous evolution of technology, electronics, and software along with the dramatic decrease in the
cost of electronic devices has led to the spread of sensing, surveillance, and control devices. The Internetof-Things
(IoT) benefits from the spread of devices (things) by processing device feeds using Machine-toMachine
(M2M) technologies. At the heart of the M2M technologies lies the ability of devices (things) to identify their own location on the globe or relative to known landmark. Since location awareness is fundamental to processing sensing and control feeds, it has attracted researchers to identify ways to
identify and improve location accuracy. The article looks at Global Positioning Systems (GPS) along with the enhancements and amendments that apply to satellite based solutions. The article also looks at medium to short-range wireless solutions such as cellular, Wi-Fi, Dedicated Short-Range Communications (5.9 GHz DSRC) and similar solutions.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
