Multi-constellation - to Receive Everything

Philip G. Mattos and Fabio Pisoni

Abstract:	Consumer Multiconstellation silicon started with GPS-Galileo around 2007 [1], but with Glonass satellites available before Galileo, was first seen publically Teseo-2, STA8088, in 2010/11 [2,3,4]. With QZSS, Compass, GPS-L1C, Glonass-CDMA all expected, the silicon manufacturer must continue the path towards the fully flexible multi constellation receiver, otherwise the number and rate of new required chips would be beyond design and test resource capability. This paper covers the steps to support multi-constellations with existing silicon, then the route forward to silicon that can support all constellations and all bands.
