    摘要: A method for generating a spread spectrum Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) signal includes obtaining a sequence of data symbols for a data channel, obtaining at least one first spread spectrum code comprising a first sequence of spread spectrum chips for the data channel, obtaining at least one second spread spectrum code comprising a second sequence of spread spectrum chips for a pilot channel, and generating a sequence of pre-modulation chips by combining the sequence of data symbols for the data channel with the spread spectrum chips of the first sequence of the at least one first spread spectrum code and data symbols for the pilot channel with the spread spectrum chips of the second sequence of the at least one second spread spectrum code to a combined sequence of chips. The method further includes assigning the chips of the combined sequence of chips to the transmission channels In-Phase I and Quadrature Q of the spread spectrum GMSK signal so that not more than two consecutive pre-modulation chips generated with the same spread spectrum code are transmitted in the same transmission channel I or Q, and performing GMSK modulation using the sequence of pre-modulation chips to generate a spread spectrum GMSK signal.

    摘要: A receiver acquires and tracks a spread spectrum navigation signal with changing subcarriers. The carrier signal changes between several subcarriers according to a hopping frequency and is modulated with data and a pseudorandom noise code signal. The receiver includes a carrier wipe off unit for down converting a received spread spectrum navigation signal from its carrier frequency to a baseband frequency, a frequency hopping wipe off unit for wiping off the hopping frequency from the received spread spectrum navigation signal, and a replica signal generation unit for generating at least one replica signal of the pseudorandom noise code signal for acquiring and tracking the received spread spectrum navigation signal after carrier wipe off. The generation of the at least one replica signal is performed depending on a sojourn time of the spread spectrum navigation signal at a subcarrier and a selected predetection integration time, and a correlation and integration unit correlates and integrates the received spread spectrum navigation signal after carrier wipe off with the at least one replica signal for the selected predetection integration time.
