Demand and key technology for a LEO constellation as augmentation of satellite navigation systems
GNSS augmented by LEO constellations can improve not only the accuracy of PNT, but also the consistency and reliability of secure PNT. This paper mainly analyzes the diverse demands of different PNT users for LEO augmented GNSS, including the precision demand in real-time, the availability demand in special areas, the navigation signal enhancement demand in complex electromagnetic environments, and the integrity demand with high security. Correspondingly, the possible contributions of LEO constellations to PNT performance are analyzed from multiple aspects. A particular attention is paid to the special PNT requirements that cannot be fulfilled with existing GNSS, such as the PNT service demand in the polar regions and the onboard GNSS orbit determination demand of some LEO satellites. The key technologies to be considered in the constellation design, function realization, and payload development of the LEO-augmented navigation system are summarized.
Remote sensing and its applications using GNSS reflected signals: advances and prospects
The current status and cutting-edge applications of Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) are presented and discovered across diverse fields such as oceanography, land monitoring, cryosphere, and atmospheric sciences. This comprehensive review highlights the latest advances in GNSS-R technology, including enhanced theoretical models, innovative instruments, and advanced signal processing techniques. Key application results and progresses are presented in details, such as wind speed, sea surface height, soil moisture and ice thickness. Furthermore, ongoing challenges and future prospects are addressed on GNSS-R technology and its emerging applications, potentially revolutionizing environmental monitoring and Earth observation. Explore how GNSS-R is expanding capabilities beyond traditional positioning and navigation, and providing critical data for scientific research and practical applications.
