==Method for Detecting at least one Hardware Error in at least one GNSS Signal Transmission Path of a Locating System - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18571067 titled 'Method for Detecting at least one Hardware Error in at least one GNSS Signal Transmission Path of a Locating System

The abstract describes a method for detecting hardware errors in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal transmission path of a locating system. The system includes a GNSS antenna and receiver with a programmable amplifier and analog-to-digital converter.

* The method involves receiving a signal with the GNSS antenna and regulating it using the programmable amplifier to a predefined reference value.
* It outputs a second reference value when no signal is present and detects hardware errors in the GNSS signal transmission path when the second reference value is output.

Potential Applications:
- Navigation systems
- Surveying equipment
- Autonomous vehicles

Problems Solved:
- Ensuring accurate and reliable GNSS signal reception
- Detecting hardware errors in the signal transmission path

Benefits:
- Improved accuracy in location tracking
- Enhanced reliability of GNSS signal reception
- Early detection of hardware errors for maintenance

Commercial Applications:
Title: "Enhanced GNSS Signal Detection System for Improved Navigation"
This technology can be utilized in industries such as transportation, agriculture, and construction for precise location tracking and navigation.

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the programmable amplifier contribute to regulating the GNSS signal?
2. What are the implications of early detection of hardware errors in a GNSS signal transmission path?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method is for detecting at least one hardware error in at least one global navigation satellite system (“GNSS”) signal transmission path of a locating system. The locating system includes at least one GNSS antenna and at least one GNSS receiver. The at least one GNSS receiver includes a programmable amplifier. An analog-to-digital converter is arranged between the programmable amplifier and a control unit. The method includes receiving a signal using the at least one GNSS antenna, and regulating the received signal using the programmable amplifier associated with the at least one GNSS receiver, such that the received signal is regulated according to a predefinable first reference value. The method also includes outputting a predetermined second reference value when no signal is present, and detecting at least one hardware error in at least one GNSS signal transmission path of the locating system when the second reference value is output.
