A method for detecting a decoy source of a satellite radionavigation signal, the method being executed by a satellite radionavigation signal reception device comprising two receivers, the method comprising the steps of: for each signal received by the reception device and transmitted by a different satellite, estimating the phase of the signal received by each receiver, computing the estimated phase difference for each receiver, comparing the phase differences computed for multiple different satellites and, if at least two phase differences computed for two different satellites are substantially identical, concluding that a decoy source is present.

Method for detecting a decoy source in a satellite radionavigation signal and associated receiving device

Station for receiving satellite radio navigation signals having first wideband transceiver for receiving a specific signal transmitted by a transmitter/receiver and extracting therefrom at least one user radio navigation signal, a first centralized configured for determining a measurement of pseudo distance and a centralized calculator for calculating navigation information (PVT), the reception station having a first reference channel for receiving radio navigation signals having a directional antenna for forming a channel, a second processor for processing the radio navigation signal received by the directional antenna for forming a channel and a calculation unit that is suited to performing an improvement in reliability, an integrity check and authentication of the navigation information (PVT).

Satellite radio navigation system with remote architecture

The present invention relates to a method for locating an aircraft (A), the said aircraft (A) being equipped with at least one device for sending and receiving ADS-B signals, a set of ADS-B communication beacons being deployed on the ground, the position of each of the said ADS-B beacons being known, the said locating method comprising:

Method for locating aircraft which is independent of any satellite navigation system

Navigation aid method for determining, by an instruction giver, the path of an aircraft initially following a predetermined path in an approach phase and upon which are defined a safety altitude and an alarm limit, said aircraft including a navigation system of the INS/GNSS type including a satellite information receiver and at least one inertial unit producing position information, said method including determining a future path; estimating predicted protection radii on the future path are estimated, starting at the calculation time in the case of a critical situation, in terms of position information, which starts at the calculation time; calculating a limit time after which the predicted protection radius is greater than or equal to the alarm limit; and calculating a limit time after which the predicted protection radius is greater than or equal to the alarm limit.
