Abstract

The paper describes an optimized solution for the a Galileo Pseudolite based on a Transceiver consisting in the integration of a very accurate dual carrier (programmable E1-E6 or E1-E5) GALILEO Signal In Space Generator and a matched dual carrier GALILEO precision Time Receiver in a very compact (16 mm by 10 mm) state of art Software Radio Hardware platform. This solution simplifies the synchronization of the pseudolite to a system time without the necessity to foresee the presence of dedicate infrastructure such as reference station.
