Tualcom a leading developer of anti-jamming, electronic warfare, and communications solutions for UAVs, has released an insightful article explaining the fundamentals of GNSS technology and their innovative anti-jamming products.
GNSS is the cornerstone of modern positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications. While the technology is complex, its core principles rely on basic calculus and trigonometry to determine a receiver’s position anywhere on Earth.
Key points from Tualcom’s article include:
- How GNSS works – Satellites in orbit transmit signals containing ID and timing information, which receivers use to calculate position.
- Global constellations – There are four main GNSS systems – GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Beidou (China), and Galileo (EU).
- Wide-ranging applications –GNSS has revolutionized industries from transportation to agriculture and emergency services.
- Limitations and challenges – Signal availability can be affected by environmental factors and intentional disruptions like jamming and spoofing.
- Anti-jamming solutions – Tualcom’s TUALAJ products aim to make GNSS receivers more resilient against intentional signal degradation.
Tualcom’s Anti-Jamming Product Line:
Recognizing the critical need for reliable GNSS in UAV operations, Tualcom has developed a range of anti-jamming GPS-GNSS systems:
- TUALAJ 4100-MINI: A compact solution for smaller UAVs requiring robust GNSS protection.
- TUALAJ 8200: A more advanced system suitable for larger UAVs and complex missions.
- TUALAJ CRPA (Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna): Offering the highest level of protection against jamming threats.
These systems are designed to provide the best performance with the smallest dimensions, making them ideal for integration into various UAV platforms.
As the UAV industry continues to grow, understanding GNSS technology and its vulnerabilities becomes increasingly important. Tualcom’s expertise in this field, demonstrated by their comprehensive anti-jamming solutions, highlights the ongoing efforts to enhance GNSS reliability for critical applications.
