Abstract:
A GNSS receiver to track low power GNSS satellite signals. The GNSS receiver includes a frequency locked loop (FLL) that measures a current doppler frequency of the satellite signal. A delay locked loop (DLL) measures a current code phase delay of the satellite signal. A current operating point corresponds to the current doppler frequency and the current code phase delay of the satellite signal. A grid monitor receives the satellite signal and the current operating point, and measures a satellite signal strength at a plurality of predefined offset points from the current operating point. The FLL and the DLL are centered at the current operating point. A peak detector is coupled to the grid monitor and processes the satellite signal strengths at the plurality of predefined offset points and re-centers the FLL and the DLL to a predefined offset point with the satellite signal strength above a predefined threshold.
