First-ever Galileo signals successfully tracked by Septentrio receiver
Thursday, January 12, 2006
Today, the first-ever Galileo signals have been broadcast from space. These early Galileo signals have been picked up and decoded by a receiver developed by Septentrio, called 'GETR'. The purpose of the GETR is to verify the acquisition, tracking and noise characteristics of all Galileo signals in the frame of the current Galileo demonstration and frequency filing activities. Septentrio is involved in the design of Galileo user receivers at all stages in the Galileo program.
