LG290p: Receiving and Using E6 from CORS?

Hello.
I’m receiving E6 band signals from a CORS antenna on my country’s GNSS network.

Is the LG290p capable of using this data for RTK positioning?

In other words, can it use the E6 data along with the other signals received from the CORS antenna?

I look forward to your comments. Regards

HI @amlago

Yes, the LG290P (03) is fully capable of receiving and processing Galileo E6 band signals. It is designed as a multi-constellation, quad-band GNSS module that tracks a wide range of frequencies, including Galileo E1, E5a, E5b, and E6 .

Capability to Use E6 Data for Positioning

  • Galileo HAS (High Accuracy Service): The module specifically supports the Galileo HAS E6 data. It can output raw HAS E6 messages (RAW-HASE6), which are used for PPP (Precise Point Positioning) to achieve sub-meter to centimeter-level accuracy globally without a local base station.* RTK Positioning: While the E6 band is a hallmark of Galileo’s HAS/PPP service, the LG290P (03) is also a high-precision RTK rover . As a “full-system” module, it can use the E6 signals concurrently with other bands (like L1, L2, and L5) to improve the reliability and accuracy of its positioning solution.* CORS Integration: If your country’s GNSS network (CORS) broadcasts E6 observation data via the RTCM 3.3 protocol, the LG290P (03) can utilize this data. The module’s architecture is built to handle multi-frequency corrections to provide a stable RTK fixed solution .

Configuration Requirements

To ensure the module is utilizing the E6 signals, you can verify or set the Galileo signal mask:

  • Signal Mask Command: You can use the command $PQTMCFGSIGNAL to configure which signals the module tracks.* E6 Bit: In the Galileo signal mask (<GAL_Sig> ), Bit 3 corresponds to the E6 band. Ensure this bit is enabled (the default value for LG290P (03) is typically 0x0F , which includes E1, E5a, E5b, and E6).

Summary: The LG290P (03) can indeed use the E6 data received from your CORS antenna alongside other signals to enhance its high-precision positioning performance, particularly for applications requiring PPP or robust multi-band RTK .
