[time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

2018-04-02 Thread Mark Sims
I was measuring the jitter and adevs of the PPS signal from a GT-8736.   GPS 
only seems to be slightly better (1-3 ns more span) than GPS+GLONASS.  GLONASS 
only seems have around 50% more jitter than GPS only.  Glonaas only adevs are 3 
times as large as GPS only (at tau=1 seconds).

These days Glonass puts out an offset number that should be good to the single 
digit nanoseconds (unless it’s broke). The Europeans have set up to effectively 
stay
“as close as you can get” to sync. Right now those are the only three that are 
likely 
candidates for time sources.

Maybe not. Glonass is not on quite the same frequencies. The signal formats of
each system are very different. A jammer that nukes one may not have any 
impact on the rest. Indeed a megawatt level broadband DC to light jammer 
would take out a lot of things. It’s also a pretty easy item to track down. 

Straight broadband jamming *should* simply shut a receiver down. That’s why 
GPSDO’s go into holdover (and why you have GPSDO’s). Are all receivers ever 
made perfect in the face of any and all crud … maybe not. 

The bigger issue is a “spoof” signal that deliberately tricks the receiver into 
thinking
it is locked to legitimate satellites. There are ways to do that. Receivers are 
not
going to reject that solution and away you go. Doing a working spoof for 
multiple 
systems …. much harder than a single system.

Hi

A….. but ….. 

The uBlox parts are available with the existing chip sets pretty easily today.
That has not always been the case with uBlox. Back when the chips were
new / unique / hard to support it was significantly more difficult to get 
anything
out of them (at least at a rational price). 

Broadcom …. yikes … I’ve sat in around in meetings where giant telecom 
companies can’t get adequate information on chips they are using from 
those guys. Even simple stuff like “what does this register do”. Three years
later back comes “the XXX register must be set this way for the chip not to
lock up intermittently” …. gee … maybe it wasn’t Bob’s fault :)

It *is* a big bet so I can’t say any of this with certainty. It’s simply my 
guess 
that on something this complex, we are back to the way things worked a 
decade or two ago.

 I have advocated for receivers able to handle multiple frequencies and
 multiple GNSS for some time, sneaking it into documents, so there should
 be some preparations for this now.
 
 The benefit is naturally redundancy, but also higher precision.
 
 Natural I would enjoy cheap multi-frequency receivers myself, but I
 would never admit that this would be a reason for advocating it. ;-)

Within a handful of ns from UTC, which is quite good.

GPS masterclock is to be held with +/- 1 us of UTC USNO, but in practice
it is held much tighter, as within 3-5 ns or so. I expect the other
constellations to be in that neighborhood even if not with that low
value. It should be easy to check, but I'm a bit lazy to do so right now.

The cheap jammers hit L1 C/A. It takes more jammer-cores to cover more
frequencies, and the more frequencies you track, the harder to pinpoint
them all, and well, until full constellation full frequency receivers is
common, jammers will not adapt fully to it.

How well antennas and receivers handle sideband jamming depends on the
receiver design, just as in normal radio setups.

Re: [time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

2018-04-02 Thread Magnus Danielson
Hi Tom,

It is indeed a benefit to use the different constellations. However, I
want to make one point regarding propagation delay. As you observe one
satellite in 2 frequencies, you can use the fact that the ionospheric
shift at one frequency depends on the frequency and the TEC of that
path. As you now observe on two frequencies, you can now on the
difference between the measures estimate how much the difference of
frequency picked up at TEC, thus one can separate out the TEC effect. By
estimating TEX from those observations, the ionspheric effect can be
removed from both observations. If you try to do this with another
constellation, you add a number of complicating factors and loose
precision as you do so. Can you observe the same satellite in three
frequencies, you can build a more accurate estimation and compensation.
Also, you an loose one of the signals and still be able to perform the
processing. One should be prepared to do L1 only, L2C only, L5 only, L1
& L2C, L1 & L5, L2C & L5 and finally L1 & L2C & L5.

Cheers,
Magnus

Tom,

Yes, that was my take on this as well. With easily available sub-meter
position fixes, I believe that even more uses will be found for this
technology.

With the Broadcom chipsets going into phones, Google Maps will no longer
tell you to take the highway ramp, when you are already on the highway :-)

Just remember to turn off your phone and wear your tin foil hat, when you
don't want "the man" knowing where you are :-)

The Broadcom chipsets are touted as being specifically for phones. Whether
we'll be able to buy stand alone modules, I don't know. The uBlox chipsets
have in that past been widely available at rational prices. Hopefully the

Hi All;

I think the real break through is using these different constellations and 
their different frequencies and looking at carrier phase verses timing 
elements. This should allow the removal of propagation delay.

Joe,

I'm not sure I had much influence, but I at least try to advocate for it
to become a good market, so hopefully it will be affordable. It has
actually been affordable for quite some time, so going multifrequency
should be the next step and with that the benefits.

Cheers,
Magnus

Magnus,

When I can buy one of these new, multi-frequency receivers, I'll remember
to thank you :-) I wonder if any of the three will be available this year.
The Broadcom chipset in phones will be nice, but I'd also like a standalone
module from anyone. More fun stuff to play with.

I have advocated for receivers able to handle multiple frequencies and
multiple GNSS for some time, sneaking it into documents, so there should
be some preparations for this now.

The benefit is naturally redundancy, but also higher precision.

Natural I would enjoy cheap multi-frequency receivers myself, but I
would never admit that this would be a reason for advocating it. ;-)

[time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

2018-03-31 Thread Joseph Gray
I've been reading announcements by Broadcom, uBlox and ST Micro for new
chipsets that will use L1, L2, L5 to provide significantly more precise
positioning for every day applications like cell phone, autonomous
vehicles, UAV, etc. Broadcom is claiming 30 cm, uBlox just says "centimeter
level". The next few years ought to be very interesting, as these chipsets
become available in consumer products.
