About the Webinar
This webinar, hosted by MicroPilot for the UAV Manufacturers July 2021 Virtual Meet Up, focused on the many cellular and communication signals that interfere with the GNSS spectrum in today’s congest RF environment.
Cellular signals and their harmonics can cause a non-tightly filtered antenna to saturate. When this happens, the GNSS receiver fails to receive a clean GNSS signal and navigation may be disrupted. Calian has developed robust filtering techniques to enable antennas to perform optimally even in close proximity to interfering signals.
Key Takeaways:
- Current GNSS Constellations and their Signals and Frequencies
- Radio Frequency Interference Sources: Amateur Radio, Cellular Signals (Direct, Harmonics), Ground to Satellite (Iridium and Inmarsat), and Vehicle Generated Signals (USB devices)
- Antenna Interference Mitigation Techniques
- Receiver Interference Mitigation Techniques
