Abstract: This paper presents an update of the ongoing work to develop dual frequency dual constellation airborne multipath models for Galileo E1, E5a and GPS L1 and GPS L5 in the frame of the project DUFMAN (Dual Frequency Multipath Models for Aviation) funded by the European Commission. The goal of this activity is to support the development and implementation of airborne GNSS-based navigation solutions, such as Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM), dual-frequency multiconstellation Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and dual-frequency multi-constellation Ground based Augmentation System (GBAS). Previous work described the methodology proposed to derive the airborne multipath models and presented preliminary multipath models obtained from an experimental installation. In this paper we present the initial results obtained from flight campaigns conducted within DUFMAN on Airbus commercial aircraft. The measurements are collected from prototypes of dual-frequency multi-constellation avionics receiver and the antenna installed on the aircraft has been selected to meet at best the current dual-frequency dual-constellation antenna requirements. In addition to the initial results obtained from avionics hardware, the impact of the different receiver correlator spacing and bandwidth is investigated and discussed.
