GAWAIN Receiver Development

A step-wise approach is applied for the receiver development starting with a software based protoype to an integrated hardware prototype:

• Step 1: Software-Prototype (called Virtual Prototype), enabling end-to-end simulations and high flexibility in algorithmic design for different signal structures

• Step 2: Baseband-Prototype, with implemented Galileo/GPS/UMTS signal processing algorithms on a real signal processing device (FPGA)

• Step 3: Integrated-Prototype: GALILEO/GPS+UMTS including procured and suited RF-Front-ends and antennas

• Step 4: User Terminal combining the Integrated Prototype with a suited PDA as a demonstrator of a future mobile terminal
