Participation to the System Engineering team for the Integration and Test in the following projects: • GNSS Integrity monitoring station over the L1 frequency (CAMP ministerial program). The monitoring station works on the signal’s spectrum and in the range domain, determining the horizontal protection level.It uses low-cost GNSS receivers and software radio techniques for signal processing and operates in real time sending alarms in seconds. I was involved in the following tasks: - Software modules integration - Internal and external interfaces configuration end test - Collaboration to develop documents and a scientific article
• Software tool to monitoring the GNSS signal quality (client: Autostarde Italia). The tool provides a set of parameters associated with the GNSS signal quality on a specific region, and compares them with the quality parameters on a series of observations made by the mobile devices in that region. I was involved in the following tasks: - Collaboration in the Test Plan definition - Preparation of the Test Use Cases data and process - Review of the Use Cases report deliverable
Environment: Ubuntu O.S, C-language, Test Process.
