Embedded RTK and PPP for the TeseoVI Next Generation GNSS Chipset

The industrial and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are growing GNSS market segments with their own specific requirements. Applications like drone navigation and fleet management, smart farming and infrastructure monitoring and timing all demand for well-balanced mixes of high accuracy positioning, connectivity, powerful data processing, extreme integration and low-cost. In this paper, the TeseoVI -next generation- GNSS receiver from STMicroelectronics is proposed as an optimal technology platform to address these needs. Embedded implementations of Real Time Kinematic (RTK), Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and heading are described in detail. The focus is on the selection of an appropriate set of algorithms and features, with the objective of delivering an open Software Development Kit (SDK), which can fit the resource footprint of the chipset and be easily configured by the user.
