Sun Tracking: A Use-Case Demonstration of the ZED-X20D GNSS Heading Module
1-Context For those who haven’t come across it yet, u-blox recently introduced the ZED-X20D, a dual-antenna GNSS heading module based on the X20 high-precision GNSS platform. While determining a heading solution was already possible with the ZED-F9P using a traditional moving-base/rover configuration, the key difference lies in how it is implemented. With a conventional F9P…

Experimental Evaluation of GNSS « CRPA-Like » Null Steering u-blox M10 Receivers
CRPA is the abbreviation for Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas. In the context of GNSS applications, this term was, until recently, largely confined to closed circles within the high-end defense industry. However, as CRPA is one of the most effective techniques for mitigating GNSS jamming and spoofing, it is now attracting increasing interest across the broader...

EMS & Bureau d'Études: A Strategic Partnership
In an increasingly competitive electronics sector, the ability of an EMS to differentiate itself no longer rests solely on the quality of its assembly, but on its ability to intervene early in a product's life cycle. This is where Micro Device Tunisie comes in: by becoming the R&D extension of the companies...

Host-Level Detection of GNSS Jamming Using u-blox Receivers
Introduction GNSS signal jamming and position spoofing have become highly relevant topics in today's geopolitical climate. Ongoing global conflicts have made GNSS jamming a widely used tactic to disrupt satellite-based positioning systems, effectively denying service availability in targeted regions. However, jamming is not limited to military or defense-related applications. It poses a threat to a...

Ublox - CloudLocate Evaluation
This one has been waiting on the to-do list for a while. CloudLocate is a location service announced by u-blox around 2021, and it's part of the Thingstream Location-as-a-Service package. The primary goal of the service is to reduce Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) by offloading satellite measurement data to the cloud. This allows position calculation to happen...

U-blox Indoor positioning antenna ANT-B10 demo
While global positioning has long been solved by GPS and similar systems, these technologies have a clear limitation-they only work outdoors. This is because GNSS receivers require continuous visibility of GNSS signals, which isn't possible outdoors. Until recently, affordable and reliable indoor positioning remained an unsolved challenge, with previous technologies being either too expensive or...
