BayPAF™

      -  Navigation System Processes & Performance


The BayNavTech™ Performance Assessment Facility (BayPAF™) is a flexible high performace analysis centre for satellite navitation systems and applications. BayPAF™'s purpose is the assessment and independent verification of satellite navigation systems such as GNSS as well as augmentation systems. Furthermore it is designed for the development and analyis of new modules and algorithms.

Thanks to its flexible modular architecture, the BayPAF™ facility can be configured individually by the implementation of User Modules.

Key features:

  • Standard investigations and analyeses in grouped module system
  • Capablility of individual configuration & module arrangement for further investigations
  • Determination of figures of merit
  • Comparison of processing results with BaySEF™ reference data

 


Functional architecture of BayPAF™

Outputs:

  • Simulation & manipulation of receiver raw observations
  • Orbit determination & time synchronisation (ODTS)
  • ODTS Figure of Merit calculation
  • Global and local integrity data
  • Preprocessing & Analyses

Applications & Methods:

  • Monitoring and analysis of system algorithms performance parameters
  • Generation of user defined analyses and statistics
  • Provision of robustness analyses, feared event analyses and tests for navigation systems
  • System Process analyses including precise satellite orbits, time synchronisation, global and local system integrity
  • Development & test of new algorithms and modules
  • Support of services and applications by provision of technological basis, like signal verification and local integrity

Example:

In order to ensure the precision of GNSS Navigation Messages, the BayPAF™ has been applied for the calculation of precise satellite orbits and clocks for the GNSS constellation. [more]
