Test Results of a Digital Beamforming GPS Receiver for Mobile Applications

Alison Brown, Huan-Wan Tseng and Randy Kurtz

Abstract:	The HAGR digital beam forming receiver maintains the digital beams directed at each satellite using the receiver’s navigation solution and the satellite position derived from the ephemeris data. For mobile applications, a real-time input of the pitch, roll and heading of the vehicle on which the antenna is installed is used to compensate for vehicle motion. This paper describes the operation of the HAGR digital beam steering array in a mobile environment and includes test data collected from the HAGR demonstrating its performance on a moving vehicle.
