    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, each correlation block in a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver is designed to examine a certain number of consecutive samples of an input signal and a buffer is designed to store more than such number of samples. Due to such storing, each correlator may perform multiple correlations for the same set of received samples. According to another aspect, such searches may be performed without rotating a local code by controlling the specific samples provided as window samples. Thus, while performing Doppler searches, different frequencies can be searched using the same local code without rotation. While performing code phase searches, the window samples may start from different positions with the position determining the specific phase being searched.

    Abstract: In a code division multiplex transmitting and receiving system, the transmitting apparatus inserts a clock signal in the code division multiplex signal. The clock signal has a frequency equal to a null frequency in the frequency spectrum of the code division multiplex signal. The receiving apparatus extracts this frequency component from the received signal and recovers the clock signal, using an ordinary clock recovery device of the type designed to recover a clock signal from a bi-level signal. The recovered clock signal is used as a synchronizing signal in the processing of the received signal.

    Abstract: The invention provides a memory code generator. In one embodiment, the memory code generator comprises a code memory, a preparation buffer set, and a correlation buffer set. The code memory stores code data. The preparation buffer set retrieves a first code segment of the code data from the code memory, and shifts the first code segment to obtain a second code segment with a desired code phase required by the correlation buffer set. The correlation buffer set loads the second code segment from the preparation buffer set, and provides a correlation code for correlation according to the second code segment. The preparation buffer set prepares the second code segment corresponding to a subsequent correlation when the correlation buffer set is providing the correlation code for a current correlation according to the first code segment.

    Abstract: A GPS receiver acquires carrier frequency and Gold code phase using short segments of a received GPS signal. In one embodiment, a 1-ms segment of the GPS signal is transformed to the frequency domain. This is multiplied by a frequency representation of the Gold code. The resulting product is converted to the time domain, and a peak is detected. The location of the peak corresponds to the code phase. If no peak is located, the carrier frequency is changed. Full- and half-bin steps in carrier frequency are considered. Processing gain is achieved by using longer segments of the input signal, for example 4 or 16 ms and integrating 1-ms segments. Considerations are provided for compensating for the effects of a transition, should it occur in the short segment of the GPS signal being processed. Integrations can be performed using non-coherent and coherent techniques. Adjustments are made for non-integral millisecond segment lengths.
