The Concept of the GALILEO Receiver

The developing of the global European satellite navigation system GALILEO proves to be one of the most significant challenges these days. The following paper provides a brief description of a system itself but first of all it discusses the concept of a GALILEO receiver which takes advantage of the SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology. Both necessary algorithm as well as the concept of a hardware realization are presented. In the final part a conclusion is presented.
