GNSS receiver's performance in the presence of interfering signals

In the last week of May, from the 26th to the 28th, engineers from Civitanavi Systems by Honeywell were hosted at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission to conduct a testing campaign on the prototype developed as part of the GAUSSIAN project.

The focus of the tests was on the GNSS receiver's performance in the presence of interfering signals. The results were highly promising, demonstrating the receiver's capability to effectively detect the presence of false signals. Additionally, the tests validated the correct decoding of the Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication signals.

As jamming and spoofing signals become increasingly significant concerns in navigation, especially with the rising number of interference events across different parts of Europe, this research is crucial.

The GAUSSIAN team extends its gratitude to the JRC-EC officers for their hospitality and support, which facilitated the execution of these complex tests—an achievement that would have been challenging under other conditions.
