LICENSABLE GNSS IP

Correlator technology,
ready for integration.

Multi-constellation GNSS correlator IP for hardware-based receivers, with flexible sampling/IF configurations and FPGA-independent, ASIC-compatible implementation.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

A reusable digital correlator core with a clear integration boundary.

The public IP boundary is intentionally simple: digitized I/Q enters a reusable digital correlator core, and its outputs are integrated into the customer receiver architecture. Sampling and IF configuration, FPGA/ASIC target and program-specific customization are handled as part of the integration discussion.

RECEIVER CHAIN CONTEXT

Correlator IP sits inside a real receiver architecture.

The digital correlator interfaces with sampled data coming from the RF front-end and ADC path. These photographs show ANKASYS-owned GNSS receiver hardware and prototype boards used in the broader receiver engineering context.

ENGAGEMENT

Start with the target receiver, not a generic datasheet.

The public product description focuses on integration-relevant capabilities without exposing customer-specific implementation details. A technical discussion can align sampling and IF configuration, target FPGA or ASIC, customization requirements, power goals and receiver integration scope.

FAQ

Useful first questions.

Is this tied to a specific FPGA family?

No. The IP is designed without dependence on vendor-specific FPGA resources and can be mapped to different FPGA families. The same architecture is suitable for ASIC implementation.

Do we need to license a separate CPU or DSP IP?

No additional third-party CPU or DSP IP license is required for the ANKASYS GNSS receiver solution. ANKASYS can discuss the complete receiver integration context around the correlator IP.

Can the IP be customized?

Yes. The implementation can be adapted to customer requirements; low-power oriented customization is one example of the available engineering scope.

Has the technology been tested outside simulation?

Yes. It has been tested with synthetic laboratory data and with real-world GNSS signals, and the technology has already been delivered to customers.

What timing output is available?

The receiver architecture supports a low-jitter PPS (pulse-per-second) output for timing-oriented applications.

How do we start a licensing discussion?

Send us the target receiver context, intended FPGA or ASIC platform, sampling/IF requirements and any customization goals you want to discuss.
