Demo: Localisation in a faulty digital GPS receiver

Abstract

The increase in integration density and the requirement of low power supplies to reduce energy consumption can make circuits more and more sensitive to hardware errors. The loss of robustness increases with process/voltage and temperature (PVT) variations. This demo presents a platform used first to implement a noiseless GPS receiver algorithm. Redundant mechanisms can be added, then, to the design to make the GPS receiver more resilient against upset errors due low supply voltage. The platform can be used, so, to evaluate the performance and the complexity of the proposed mechanisms.
