Consumer GNSS chipsets-based, dual-frequency receivers as enablers of precise navigation and dense networks
A new low-cost L1/L2c receiver board is presented in this short letter, along with its first tests. The main strength of the board is its low price tag (around 200 EUR, in quantities of hundreds) as an effective dual-frequency receiver. The effectiveness of the receiver was at first proven by a pedestrian walk experiment on a closed loop, allowing the evaluation of closure errors. Raw measurements were collected and processed in a real-time scenario through a variometric approach implemented in VADASE software.
