    摘要: A radio frequency integrated circuit for a global positioning system (GPS) application mixes radio frequency GPS signals to obtain a predetermined intermediate frequency that is less than 4fo. In one embodiment, the intermediate frequency is selected to be 1.5fo. An intermediate frequency filter (204) then band-limits the intermediate frequency GPS signals, rolling off at a frequency in the vicinity of 2.5 MHz to achieve substantial attenuation at 3.5-4.0 MHz. An automatic gain control circuit (206) amplifies the filtered intermediate frequency GPS signals to proper voltage levels. The amplified intermediate frequency GPS signals is then digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (207) at a predetermined sampling rate more than twice the intermediate frequency to provide samples of a predetermined number of bits, which are then provided for base band processing by a general purpose microprocessor over an industry- standard serial bus.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a personal telecommunications device having both global positioning systems (GPS) and telecommunications provisions which share a common clock source. GPS provisions include a feedback loop for controlling an oscillator that generates a GPS system signal based upon the common clock signal. The feedback loop includes a frequency synthesizer for generating a feedback control signal, a phase comparator for generating a control signal in accordance with the feedback signal and the common clock signal, and a loop filter for processing and outputting the control signal to the oscillator to control the frequency of GPS system signals.

    摘要: A system is provided for storing positional data received from GPS signals in response to an event, and then processing that positional data at a later time to obtain detailed location information of the system at the time of the event. The received GPS signals may be decimated to a desired sampling rate and then stored for later correlation. In one embodiment, the system is a digital camera having an antenna, an RF front end, and a non-volatile memory device. The event which triggers the storage of the positional data is a photo capture by the digital camera. The positional data, in decimated but uncorrelated form, is stored with the image data in the non-volatile memory device. The positional data can then be transferred with the image data to a separate device, such as a personal computer, for post-processing.

    摘要: The invention described herein relates to aiding a Satellite Positioning System (SPS) receiver of a platform with a data interface to the platform data from a platform data bus. The platform, for example, could be a vehicle, ship, aircraft, or a pedestrian. The SPS receiver could be used to track the location of the platform. The data interface would facilitate access by the SPS receiver to the data of the platform, and the SPS receiver in turn could provide SPS data (such as position, speed, and heading) to the platform.
