Ship Monitoring and Location Estimation Based on Global Navigation Satellite Signal Reflectometry

Wei Liu, Yuan Hu, Shengzheng Wang and Jing Peng

Abstract:	The increasing number of navigation systems can provide a bright future for navigation applications. This paper studies the ship detection and location estimation method based on space-borne GNSS reflections. Firstly, the applicability of the GNSS-R concept to ship detection and positioning is discussed. A rapid prediction approach of GNSS-R Specular Reflection Point will be presented for ship detection based on space-borne GNSS-R receiver. Experiments have been performed using the proposed rapid prediction approach. The positioning algorithms based on GNSS-R signal time delay and Doppler shift information will be proposed. Two positioning constellation configurations are discussed including three GNSS satellites and a LEO satellite, and three LEO satellites and a GNSS satellite.
