Active Anti-Jamming /
Multi-GNSS Advanced Multipath Mitigation
A Multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver is the system able to calculate position, velocity and time by receiving the Active Anti-Jamming
satellite signals broadcasted from multiple navigation satellite systems. The power level of the GNSS satellite signals when received at the antenna is below the noise floor. Signal processing techniques inside
Previously, GPS, operated by the United States, was the representative positioning system, but other satellite navigation systems such as the GNSS receiver allow extracting these signals. However, to achieve the highest sensitivity it is critical to keep all sources of noises as

Dead Reckoning
Precise GPS/GNSS positioning can be achieved only by receiving signals from three to four GPS/GNSS satellites at the same time. Multi-GNSS + Dead Reckoning: Position accuracy of 2.5m (1σ) has been achieved in urban
When relying on GPS/GNSS only positioning, there may be cases where the position accuracy is degraded or lost. For example when
the vehicle moves in areas where the GPS/GNSS signals cannot be received (tunnels or underground passages) or where very strong canyon (Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan)
multipath propagation occurs (areas surrounded by tall glass covered buildings). To improve the Dead Reckoning performance, FURUNO's R & D team set our own test course around the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
Towers in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It is a very harsh environment of skyscrapers that reflect satellite signals and with tunnels where no satellite
To overcome such limitations of GPS/GNSS positioning, a Dead Reckoning solution is useful. It enables to keep high accuracy positioning
signal is received.
by using information from various sensors (gyro sensor, accelerometer, speed pulse, etc.) to calculate the current position, even when
GPS/GNSS only positioning is difficult or impossible. Dead Reckoning solution is widely utilized in automotive navigation systems. FURUNO's GNSS (GPS)/Dead Reckoning Receiver GV-87 has achieved position accuracy of 2.5m (1σ) without position shift from the
road. This same environment causes loss of satellite tracking, fluctuation of ground track, position shift and position errors when observed
with previous GPS stand-alone receivers.
The new GV series which detects the vehicle position in high accuracy have been developed by integrating FURUNO's conventional
signal tracking and positioning calculation technologies for GPS/GNSS receivers. The GV-87 provides superior performance for the most
demanding automotive applications. It has concurrent Multi-GNSS reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo (when operational), and highly
accurate Dead Reckoning function.
The position accuracy is equivalent to or higher than that of in-car navigation system even without map matching. The GV-87 provides
an excellent source of position for car navigation systems and for other automotive devices such as fleet management system, tracking
devices for commercial vehicles, drive recorders, bus location systems, navigation systems for emergency vehicles where current position
accuracy has not been sufficient. The FURUNO products will also help prevent accidents and contribute to safety of driving functions and
vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the future.
Ground tracking in tunnels where the GPS/GNSS signals are shielded and unavailable
FURUNO's Dead Reckoning Receivers use data from Gyro sensor, Accelerometer, Speed pulse, Wheel speed data of two non-turning
wheels in various combinations. A Dead Reckoning solution can easily be implemented by connecting the recommended gyro sensor
and accelerometer to FURUNO GPS (GNSS) Dead Reckoning Receiver I2C terminal. Likewise, a speed pulse can be directly input to
speed pulse terminal of the receiver. The sensors and speed pulse will be automatically calibrated by the receiver.
FURUNO's GPS (GNSS)/Dead Reckoning Receiver will continuously output position in tunnels using our Dead Reckoning function, but
also performs hybrid positioning with GPS/GNSS + Dead Reckoning when GPS/GNSS signals are received. This function helps to achieve
very high accuracy positioning even in urban canyons where typical GPS/GNSS stand alone receivers cannot perform positioning in high
accuracy.

• Continuous position tracking with high sensitivity signal level (-161 dBm).
• Positioning within a few seconds of operation after receiving the assist data.
• Reduction of power consumption by reducing the time it takes to receive navigational data from the GNSS satellites and calculate the
current position.
