Elcano

A GMV tool aimed at designing GNSS systems and assessing the user navigation performances at the application level

  • Print
General Information

Overview

Elcano is a state-of-the-art tool for designing GNSS systems and assessing user navigation performances at application level. It allows its users to perform the following analyses:

- Optimize a constellation for user-defined target performances

- Determine the failure satellite statistics of a given constellation

- Analyze constellation stability over time

- Compute user positioning accuracy figures over a given service area

- Compute positioning availability and continuity risk over a given service area

- Characterize the covariance of the Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) process

- Characterize the covariance of a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method

Elcano includes a Man Machine Interface (MMI) that provides a set of utilities to configure and run analyses, as well as visually represent results.

Key features

Configurations and Analysis

Configuration

Configurations consist on the definition of the basic blocks that will be used for analysis definition. For instance, the constellation to be optimized is not configured within the corresponding analysis but picked up from the available constellations list, which is defined and managed in the corresponding configurations module.

Although this is completely transparent to the user, elcano implements an internal database to manage all items needed for the proper execution of the tool, namely analysis and configuration items.

Elcano is launched as any standard Windows application. 

 

Analysis

From the Analysis panel, it is possible to perform the following tasks:

- Optimize a constellation for user-defined target performances

- Determine the  failure satellite statistics of a given constellation

- Analyze constellation stability over time

- Compute user positioning accuracy figures over a given service area

- Compute positioning availability and continuity risk over a given service area

- Characterize the covariance of the Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) process

- Characterize the covariance of a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method

Graphical visualization capabilities are provided within each module.

Clicking on the Configuration tab (wrench icon) will display the Configuration panel.
