Title: Innovations by Brandon Culling
Introduction
Brandon Culling is an accomplished inventor based in Calgary, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and reliability of GNSS receivers.
Latest Patents
One of Brandon's latest patents is a system and method for calculating protection levels for velocity and course over ground. In this embodiment, a GNSS receiver calculates protection levels for velocity and course over ground by obtaining Doppler measurements and variance measurements from at least five GNSS satellites. The receiver utilizes a least squares method to compute the velocity states and clock bias. It calculates the slope for each Doppler measurement on each velocity state and selects the maximum slope for each state. These maximum slopes are then scaled by a non-centrality parameter to determine the protection level for each velocity state in the Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) frame. Finally, the receiver converts these velocity protection levels to North-East-Up (NEU) velocity protection levels to calculate a protection level for course over ground.
