GALILEO Test User Segment - Phase C0
Achievements
Consolidation of the User Requirements for the Galileo Test User Segment

|
Brief Description
Starting from the system requirements the Galileo Definition Phase
has led to segment level requirements. For the Test User Segment
(TUS) the requirements are defined in the User Segment Requirements
(USREQ). The Galileo In Orbit Validation (IOV) TUS will receive and
monitor the Signal in Space as broadcast by the experimental system
test bed (GSTBV2) and IOV satellites.
Objectives of Phase C/D/E1: The overall objective of the Phase C/D/E1
activities related to the Test User Segment is the development of
receivers to validate the Galileo performance for the different
services identified in the Galileo System Requirements Document
(GSRD) and to support additional demonstration and experimentation.
Objectives of Phase C0: The objective of Phase C0 was to freeze the user
segment requirements and manage them under configuration control.
Starting from there a preliminary receiver system architecture
design was performed and detailed subsystem specifications have been derived. In addition the test support tools
have been identified
and specified. Phase C0 concluded with a successful Preliminary
Design Review (PDR) for the different types of receivers. A successful
PDR for the TUS required confirmation of compliance to high level
performance allocations in range (UERE residuals) and position domain
as well as for integrity. This had to be achieved through high level
analysis and simulation.
