Title: John W Wilkinson: Innovator in GNSS Navigation Data Generation
Introduction
John W Wilkinson is a notable inventor based in Newton Abbot, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with his innovative technologies. With a total of 2 patents, Wilkinson continues to push the boundaries of navigation data generation.
Latest Patents
Wilkinson's latest patents focus on flexible methods for generating GNSS navigation data. The disclosed technology teaches simulating new satellite messages for a GNSS simulation. It provides a configuration file and programming script file, neither of which is pre-compiled into GNSS simulation code. These files specify the format for a message for a satellite and message format combination that is not yet operational or compiled into the GNSS simulation code. The technology includes reading and applying the configuration file and running a script from the programming script file to generate navigation data for simulating positioning messages during the GNSS simulation. It also uses the navigation data for simulating positioning signals during the GNSS simulation and testing a GNSS receiver against the satellite and message format combination. Furthermore, the technology teaches determining message format and values to use when simulating position signals by combining field format and field data values from a combination of the configuration files, almanac, ephemeris, and related data, along with the programming script files.
