GNSS SDR receivers for monitoring, R&D and teaching

ARAMIS ISM, RAD & Academic GNSS SDR Receivers

ISM is the ionospheric scintillation monitor. RAD is the rapid application development receiver built with PORTOS A8. Academic editions support research and teaching.

GNSS SDR ionospheric scintillation monitoring with ARAMIS ISM.

ARAMIS ISM is the primary scientific receiver configuration.

It combines the ARAMIS GNSS SDR receiver with scintillation observables, monitoring displays and configurable processing for amplitude, phase and propagation analysis.

RAD GNSS SDR receiver for CRPA and GNSS–INS R&D.

RAD combines the ARAMIS SDR engine with PORTOS A8 multi-channel hardware.

RAD includes PORTOS A8, ARAMIS processing, NAV API and BASE API. It supports up to eight antennas, real-time processing, recorded-data processing, CRPA and integrated-navigation development.

  • Up to eight configurable antenna and SDR channels
  • CRPA, coherent acquisition and multi-antenna processing
  • RS-422 IMU data acquisition and packet decoding
  • Optional loose, tight and ultra-tight GNSS–INS coupling
  • Microsoft Visual C++ NAV API and BASE API

One receiver core for ISM, RAD and Academic editions.

All ARAMIS configurations use the same GNSS SDR receiver core and Microsoft Visual C++ software interfaces.

NAV API provides access to the navigation processor. BASE API provides access to the baseband processor. The same software can process ReGen-DIF, recorded PORTOS data or live RF through a PORTOS front end.

Academic editions, including limited no-cost licensing for selected non-commercial research and teaching use, may be available.

ARAMIS and PORTOS evaluated for NavIC + GPS ionosphere and positioning research.

Dr. Mehul V. Desai, Dr. Darshna D. Jagiwala and Dr. Shweta N. Shah evaluated a customized integrated ARAMIS SDR receiver and PORTOS RF front end for NavIC L5 + GPS L1 research published in IETE Technical Review. The SAC/ISRO-funded work used the ARAMIS Navigation API and raw-data access, implemented grid-based ionospheric correction, and compared the results with an Accord receiver.

Work at the level your research requires.

ARAMIS can expose intermediate receiver data and processing interfaces that conventional commercial receivers keep closed.

  • Signal acquisition and tracking information
  • Correlator, baseband and measurement-level data
  • Pseudorange, carrier phase, Doppler and quality observables
  • Microsoft Visual C++ NAV API and BASE API
  • Real-time processing and repeatable post-processing
  • Customer algorithms and specialized output formats

Connect ARAMIS to simulation, RF front ends and inertial sensors.

Optional IMU/INS integration projects support loose, tight or ultra-tight coupling and optional BGPS™ instant-positioning know-how. Current hardware support includes PORTOS A8 and Simceiver with receiver hardware options. Other PORTOS configurations depend on the selected front end.

Define the signals, monitoring observables and research objective first.

Tell us which constellations and frequencies are required, whether ISM monitoring functions are required, which processing levels must be accessible, and whether the receiver requires multi-antenna, CRPA, IMU/INS, simulator or laboratory integration.
