Response

1.0 Introduction

Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) named as NavIC is ISRO’s

initiative to build an independent and regional satellite navigation system based on

a constellation of GEO and GSO satellites. The satellites are placed in two different

orbital planes; 3 satellites in the Geo-stationary orbit (GEO) and 4 satellites in the

Geo-synchronous orbit (GSO) with an inclination of 29º . One of the important

elements for NavIC is the NavIC User receivers. User Receivers are dedicated for

finding user position using NavIC satellites signals. Space Application Centre (SAC)

is responsible for development of NavIC user receiver. The technology for this is

already available with SAC in larger form factor. This is based on ZYNQ 7000 series

device. For the mass applications like vessel tracking, vehical tracking etc. needs a

small factor, low power and low cost receiver. SAC has already developed

prototyping units for these kind of receiver. SAC wants to develop small form factor

hardware for the same. As per different applications two different kinds of hardwares

are required. The only difference between both receiver is inclusion of GPRS/GSM

module for GSM connectivity. SAC invites capable Designers / Manufacturers of

similar products for development of the miniaturised NavIC User receiver. This

document provides primary level details and proposed basic components. The

vendors are required to provide their proposals for development and realization

plan/schedule of the receivers. It is mandatory for the Vendor to provide the

complete point-by-point technical and terms/conditions details in this format. The

vendors can provide their additional terms/conditions if any separately and clearly

The vendors are required to provide their techno-commercial proposals seperately.

2.0 Scope of work

The primary level scope of work is inclusive of the following :

REQ-1 Development of the NavIC receiver hardware for two types based on SAC

requirements.

REQ-2 Development of the NavIC receiver hardware based on SAC requirements, which

includes component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, procurement of

components, fabricating of PCB and mounting components and test the receiver.

The block diagram of NavIC receiver is given in figure 1.

REQ-3 Design and fabrication of suitable and compact enclosure for Receiver. It should

provide proper RF shielding and EMI/EMC performance.

REQ-4 Preparation of FAT/ATP document, to carryout FAT in presence of ISRO officials

REQ-5 Vendor must produce 2 PROTO Units for each type followed by ordered number of

units


REQ-6 Development of NavIC receiver firmware is responsibilty of SAC

3.0 Functionality Description

The receiver is designed for two RF bands viz. L5 frequency, which is NavIC

frequency and L1 frequency which is GPS frequency. A Common phase centered

dual band patch antenna is connected to two RF inputs of the board. For GPS, L1

RF front end is available from maxim as max2769B which takes L1 frequency input

and gives ADC samples. It has inbuilt down converter and amplifier to provide

required gain including AGC. For L5 the RF chain is shown in figure 1. RFMD’s

RFFC2071 is used as up converter from L5 to L1 and given as input to max2769B.

A TCXO and clock buffer is used to provide reference clock to all three RF ICs. The

base band section consists of Xilinx’s ZYNQ7000 series XC7Z020 SoC. the device

has FPGA fabrics and two Cortex A9 ARM processors. It has QSPI flash, UART to

USB converter. Both RF sections are configured through FPGA over SPI lines. The

2-bit ADC samples are captured in FPGA section at 16.369 MHz clock from both

GPS module ICs. The acquisition and tracking of 7 NavIC and 12 GPS satellites is

achieved in FPGA section in conjunction with ARM processor. The PVT is

calculated in ARM processor and send to UART in NMEA format which is converted

to USB using CP2102/9 device. The board can be powered from USB if requirement

is less than 2.5W. The receiver should also take 5V DC from external DC supply in

case of battery operated mode. The receiver will be connected to MSS terminal for

vessel tracking which will transmit the position obtained on USB to centralized HUB

via satellite.

The second type of receiver will be used for land vehicle tracking. Sim800

GSM/GPRS module is included for GPRS connectivity for tracking of vehicle.

Remaining hardware will remain same.

SAC is working on a concept called eXecute In Place (XIP). In this the ZYNQ device

is booted from QSPI flash in eXecute In Place (XIP) mode. So that LPDDR can be

removed from the design. In this case the digital section will be without LPDDR2.

This will reduce complexity, size and power of receiver which in turn results in cost

reduction. Since this option is not yet proven SAC will like to go ahead with both the

options for development. Vendor has to provide quotation for both the options. The

decision will be taken at the time of placing purchase order.
