The Navigation laboratory (NavLab) is an ensemble of multiple facilities located in ESTEC premises, belonging to the Radio Frequency Systems Division within the TEC Directorate.
The laboratory is composed of 2 large working rooms full of state of the art GNSS equipment, 2 server rooms, 2 customized Mercedes Sprinter vehicles dedicated to on-field mobile campaigns, the PRS laboratory, where the GALILEO Public Regulated Signal related activities and equipment are carried out in a secure environment, and an expanding farm of antennas and sensors on the roof. The Navigation Laboratory works closely with the UTC and Payload laboratories.
The GNSS equipment and test-beds hosted in the NavLab allow users to perform every type of study and analysis related to PNT (Position, Navigation and Timing).
The table below shows the most important pieces of lab equipment but it is by no means exhaustive:

The navigation laboratory represents both an engineering tool and a tests & measurement facility to support the work of ESA internal and external customers while performing tests, analysis and characterisation of navigation systems.
Moreover, the NavLab is equipped with state-of-the-art Signal Generators, Spectrum Analyzers and Oscilloscopes (Agilent, Rohde & Schwarz, Tektronix), Rubidium Clocks (RFS), RF Interference generators and detectors (Spirent GSS200D).
The navigation laboratory supports also remote users by making available downloadable resources from mobile and static tests campaigns.
These data sets have collected from a multi-GNSS multi-frequency receiver installed in the ESTEC navigation van. The raw data obtained by the receiver is included in standard format (Rinex 3.04, including observation and navigation files).
The RF environmental conditions associated to each set are indicated (e.g. urban canyon, dense vegetation, open-sky).
In order to evaluate the performance of the PNT obtained exploiting the receiver data, a reference trajectory solution file is also attached (this file is based on state-of-the-art RTK solution).
