Abstract: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations such as Global Positioning System (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European Union), BeiDou (China) transmit radio signals continuously on multiple frequencies for PNT applications on or above the globe. On the other side IRNSS(India) and QZSS (Japan) are the regional navigation systems with limited service area. The combination of multiple constellations with quality signals improves robustness and stability of position,navigation and time measurements. Hence, this research work investigates signal quality to identify strong/ important signals and geometry of the satellites for the combined use of global and regional constellations over the Indian region. Real-time signal observations of multiple GNSS were collected by ‘Septentrio PolaRx5’ receiver stations installed at GPCET, Kurnool (150 .47’N, 780 .04’E). From the results, it is found that the user over this region can receive signals from a minimum of 60 satellites with Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) value less than unity.
