Position Navigation Time as a Service
(PNTaaS) Remote Receiver
User Equipment
Purpose of the Remote Receiver is to provide Pseudo Range aiding to an Assured PNT devices and can operate in the absence of GNSS
Multiple Software Defined Radios (SDR) are supported and reference designs provided for custom integration
PNT operation can be supported with a single channel SDR
One or more omni-directional antennae tuned to different frequency bands for resilience against jamming
A-PNT device should include a clock for timing and an IMU for mobile applications
Internet link to PNTaaS Cloud server
SDR RF front-end captures data-snapshots coincident with published monitor correlation data snapshots
SDR processing engine processes correlation data snapshot to:
Receives correlation data snapshot and SoOP Location data
Correlates locally received signals and publishes precise Master Clock reference Time for the start of the correlation data snapshot to publish to the cloud
Uses SoOP Location data and Time from Cloud to provide Pseudo Range updates
Corrects local Inertial and Clock A-PNT device using this local Pseudo Range update
