R&D Activities
R&D of quasi-zenith satellite compatible receiver for sharing accurate positioning information
Participants | Magellan Systems Japan, Inc. |

Overview | ObjectiveWe will develop a compact high precision positioning receiver that can be installed on the drone and conduct a test with a communication function for sharing the positioning information among the drones. We will convert the RF part of the existing high precision multifrequency multi-GNSS receiver (board size: 90 mm × 100 mm) to LSI, and develop a smaller receiver board (target board size: 50 mm × 50 mm or less). After that, we will make the baseband part LSI, maintaining performance of the receiver, further miniaturization (target board size: 35 mm × 50 mm or less), lightweight, power saving will be aimed.

Results |
Flight test for sharing high-accuracy positioning information by air-to-air communication.We installed the high precision positioning receiver for quasi-zenith satellite in the drone and we conducted a test to verify the position accuracy during flight and detect each other's positions by the communication between the drones.
