Abstract

This paper summarizes the development of safety-of-life receivers for global navigation satellite systems. Two receiver systems have been successfully fabricated, integrated, and tested by means of field experiments. Implementation issues of these two systems are described in this paper. The third generation of this receiving system is based on a dual-band approach with antennas that are able to separate two frequency bands using two outputs. Measured results show that high isolation between the two bands can be achieved.
