This is a collaborative project led by Rockwell Collins UK Ltd (RCUK), together with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), to address the requirements and research challenges set by the SBRI/TSB call for GNSS Antennas in full. Benefiting from the QMUL team’s long term and extensive experience and expertise in GNSS antennas, we plan to investigate innovative solutions, two in circular polarised design and one in linear polarised design, for the compact antenna element to operate in the multiple GPS/Galileo bands. The technology underpinning our solutions has already been developed within the QMUL team with a total control of IPR. We also plan to design a novel compact 2D antenna array based on the antenna elements developed to provide the controlled reception pattern antenna configuring capability for significant mitigation against jammers and interference. In addition, we will consider a range of system level issues, such as low SWaP (Space, Weight and Power) applications and R-GNSS (Robust Global Navigation Satellite System), especially the impacts of operating platform and human body on the developed antennas when interfaced with the GNSS receivers and the issue of Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) location, based on RCUK’s extensive Military and Commercial Systems application, product and customer experience. RCUK is currently active in several UK and European GNSS study programmes, including the PERMIT programme for the UK Space Agency. The proposed project will be conducted by a CAPABLE team and managed by utilising the existing well established Program Management and commercial organisation at RCUK. The output of the project will include the results of the proof of concepts investigations and the Final Report covering all the de-risking activities and a business exploitation plan.

这是一个由罗克韦尔柯林斯英国有限公司(RCUK)与伦敦玛丽女王大学(QMUL)共同领导的合作项目，旨在全面解决SBRI/TSB号召对GNSS天线的要求和研究挑战。得益于QMUL团队在GNSS天线方面的长期和广泛的经验和专业知识，我们计划研究创新的解决方案，其中两个采用圆极化设计，一个采用线性极化设计，使紧凑型天线单元能够在多个GPS/Galileo频段运行。支撑我们解决方案的技术已经在QMUL团队内开发出来，完全控制着知识产权。我们还计划在开发的天线单元的基础上设计一种新型的紧凑型2D天线阵列，以提供可控的接收方向图天线配置能力，从而显著减轻干扰和干扰。此外，基于RCUK广泛的军事和商业系统应用、产品和客户体验，我们将考虑一系列系统层面的问题，例如低SWAP(空间、重量和功率)应用和R-GNSS(稳健全球导航卫星系统)，特别是与GNSS接收器对接时操作平台和人体对开发的天线的影响，以及低噪声放大器(LNA)的位置问题。RCUK目前积极参与英国和欧洲的几个全球导航卫星系统研究方案，包括英国航天局的许可证方案。拟议的项目将由一个有能力的团队进行，并利用RCUK现有的成熟的计划管理和商业组织进行管理。该项目的产出将包括概念验证、调查的结果和涵盖所有消除风险活动的最后报告和一项商业开发计划。
