Abstract:
A method of performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on one or more data samples in a global navigation satellite system baseband tracking channel is provided. The method comprises loading a pseudorandom noise code generator with a constant value in the baseband tracking channel; setting a tracking loop integration time according to a selected frequency resolution; updating a carrier generator with a selected DFT frequency in the baseband tracking channel; integrating a data sample in the baseband tracking channel; and storing the integrated data sample in a DFT bin. The method determines whether all DFT bins have been received, and if all DFT bins have not been received, the method repeats starting with updating the carrier generator, until all DFT bins have been received.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a location measuring method performed among an access point and a plurality of UWB tags and a location measuring system therefor. When a location is measured according to a relation between the access point and the UWB tag, collisions and interference occurring between signals in a wireless space may be avoided so that an efficient RTLS is implemented.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for determining position of a receiver. The positioning system comprises a transmitter network including transmitters that broadcast positioning signals. The positioning system comprises a remote receiver that acquires and tracks the positioning signals and/or satellite signals. The satellite signals are signals of a satellite-based positioning system. A first mode of the remote receiver uses terminal-based positioning in which the remote receiver computes a position using the positioning signals and/or the satellite signals. The positioning system comprises a server coupled to the remote receiver. A second operating mode of the remote receiver comprises network-based positioning in which the server computes a position of the remote receiver from the positioning signals and/or satellite signals, where the remote receiver receives and transfers to the server the positioning signals and/or satellite signals.

Abstract:
A phase locked loop is disclosed having a frequency controlled oscillator (42), a feedback path, a time to digital converter (10) and a memory. The frequency controlled oscillator (42) comprises a first control input (135, 136) for varying the frequency of the output (106) of the frequency controlled oscillator (42) so as to track a reference frequency (101) and a second control input (139) for modulating the frequency of the output signal (106) so as to produce a chirp. The feedback path is configured to provide an input signal (107) to the time to digital converter (10), and comprises modulation cancelling module (14) operable to remove the frequency modulation resulting from the second control input (139) from the output signal (106). The memory stores second control input values that each correspond with a desired chirp frequency and which compensate for non-linearity in the response of the frequency controlled oscillator to the second control input (139). The phase locked loop is operable in a chirp mode, in which the second control input (139) is produced by determining a value for the second control input (139) corresponding with a desired chirp frequency based on the stored second control input values in the memory, and in which the phase locked loop is configured to determine the first control input (135, 136) based on the feedback path from which the modulation cancelling module (14) has removed the frequency modulation resulting from the second control input (139).
Abstract:
A data processor selects a set of BOC correlations in accordance with a BOC correlation function for the sampling period if the primary amplitude exceeds or equals the secondary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor selects a set of QBOC correlations in accordance with a QBOC correlation function for the sampling period if the secondary amplitude exceeds the primary amplitude for the sampling period. The data processor uses either the BOC correlation function or the QBOC correlation function, whichever with greater amplitude, at each sampling period to provide an aggregate correlation function that supports unambiguous code acquisition of the received signal.
Abstract:
A data processor selects a set of BOC correlations in accordance with a BOC correlation function for the sampling period if the primary amplitude exceeds or equals the secondary amplitude for the sampling period. An electronic data processor determines whether the receiver is operating in a steady-state mode by evaluating the detected primary amplitude. The data processor selects and/or processes a set of BOC correlations for the sampling period to track a carrier of the received composite signal if the receiver is operating in the steady-state mode. In one embodiment, the data processor forms a first code error using the selected BOC correlations with a first chip spacing to drive the code tracking.
