received his M.Sc. in electrical engineering from RWTH Aachen University in 2017. He completed his Master thesis in the field of GNSS spoofing detection and mitigation. In November 2017 he joined the Institute of Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen and began his doctorate studies at RWTH Aachen University. His main research interest lies on the development of robust and precise multi-antenna GNSS receivers focused on the signal processing layer. Manuel M. Appel received his diploma degree (FH) in electrical engineering from Technical University Ingolstadt, Germany in 2008. In 2009 he joined Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits ("home of mp3") in Erlangen. From 2010 until 2012 he was with the Center of Applied Research in Ingolstadt, focusing on forward looking safety systems for the automotive industry. During that time, he was involved in the conception and planning of the center of automotive research and testing (Carissma). Partly in parallel, he received a M.Sc. degree from Technical University Munich in 2013. He joined the Institute for Communication and Navigation of DLR in January 2014. His main research interest lies in development of signal processing algorithms for robust GNSS receivers with the main focus on spoofing detection and mitigation. In addition, he focuses on drone capturing using spoofing. This enables him to finish his doctoral studies at RWTH Aachen. Michael Meurer received the diploma in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. After graduation, he joined the Research Group for Radio Communications at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, as a senior key researcher, where he was involved in various international and national projects in the field of communications and navigation both as project coordinator and as technical contributor. From 2003 till 2013, Dr. Meurer was active as a senior lecturer and Associate Professor (PD) at the same university. Since 2006 Dr. Meurer is with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Institute of Communications and Navigation, where he is the director of the Department of Navigation and of the center of excellence for satellite navigation. In addition, since 2013 he is a professor of electrical engineering and director of the Chair of Navigation at the RWTH Aachen University. His current research interests include GNSS signals, GNSS receivers, interference and spoofing mitigation and navigation for safety-critical applications.
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are widely used for positioning and timing. The systems are used by almost every land, air, and water vessel to help navigate. The increasing number of private and commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the upcoming of autonomous driving cars will increase the number of systems relying on GNSS. Therefore, it is getting more and more important to ensure the availability and integrity of the position, velocity, and time (PVT) solution, even in the presence of interference, jamming, or spoofing. Due to the low power of the received GNSS signal, it is extremely vulnerable to interference (Borio et al., 2016;Luo et al., 2003). In addition, new applications demand a higher precision of the PVT solution. This demand can be fulfilled by precise point positioning (PPP) and real-time kinematic (RTK) techniques. One key element of these approaches is to include carrier-phase measurements in the PVT estimation. The carrier-phase measurements deliver much more accurate range measurements since the wavelength of a GNSS carrier (e.g., 19 cm for GPS L1) is much smaller
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
