Figure 4-3: Measured reception characteristics of antenna array elements at L1/E’
The hardware platform used by the Demonstrator 2 is the miniaturised GALANT receiver (see Figure
4-5). It is based on the use of a combination of a commercial base-board with a system-on-module
‚SoM) board of type PicoZed AES Z7PZ-7Z030-SOM-I-G. These two components are shown in
Cigure 4-4 where the SoM in black colour is mounted on the top of the base-board in green. The
50M is equipped with a Xilinx Zynq Z7030 system-on-chip (SoC), a combination of FPGA and CPU,
which is designed as a common integrated circuit. Such a SoC allows fast data exchange between
the programmable logic of the FPGA and a processor for generic-type calculations. The SoC
topology is particularly advantageous for systems with antenna arrays: the necessary parallel signal
orocessing of all channels in real time can be well realized in the FPGA. The software-side processing
of the received signals then takes place on the CPU. In the case of a GNSS receiver, the software
includes in particular the calculation of the PVT solution, but also algorithms for position estimation
and communication with the user.
