Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a navigation signal are provided. When a navigation signal is received and processed, a search range associated with signal processing may be reduced by directly computing a clock offset of a receiving terminal, and accordingly it is possible to reduce an operation amount associated with the signal processing, and an amount of a power consumed by the receiving terminal. Additionally, due to a reduction in the search range, it is also possible to reduce a time required to acquire a signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for signal acquisition of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver may downsample digitalized satellite signals based on a code resolution, correlate the downsampled satellite signals and oversampled pseudo-random noise (PRN) codes using a block unit based on a size of a matching filter, and may perform FFT of a value output as a correlation result by employing, as M points, a number of blocks used for the matching filter. Also, the signal acquisition apparatus may estimate a coarse Doppler and a code phase of the satellite signals by comparing a power value, calculated based on the M-point fast Fourier transformed value, with a threshold value, and may estimate a fine Doppler using zero-padding based FFT when the satellite signals are successfully acquired.
Abstract:
A mobile apparatus for tracking a satellite, includes: a mobile unit; a GPS receiving unit mounted on the mobile unit that generates position coordinates of the mobile unit; a level meter mounted on the mobile unit that adjusts the mobile unit in horizontal and obtains a tilt angle of the mobile unit; an antenna unit mounted on the mobile unit and being adjusted to the true north direction according to the position coordinates. Further, the mobile apparatus for tracking a satellite includes position tracking control unit mounted on the mobile unit that temporarily stops the mobile unit when tracking a position of the satellite, adjusts the mobile unit in horizontal by the level meter and aligns the position coordinates and the tile angles to correct current position information of the mobile unit.
