摘要： Provided herein are systems and methods for achieving long coherent integration in a navigational receiver to improve the sensitivity of the receiver and enable the receiver to acquire, reacquire and track signals under very weak signal conditions. In an embodiment, phase compensation is computed based on estimated Doppler frequency, rate of change of the Doppler frequency with time, and second order rate of change of the Doppler frequency. The Doppler frequency may be computed from an orbital model or ephemeris. This phase compensation is used to compensate samples of the input signal for changes in the phase due to the Doppler frequency. Frequency components of the phase-compensated samples are then computed using a frequency analysis such as a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The maximum frequency component is taken as an error frequency and used to compensate the samples of the input signal for residual frequency error.

摘要： Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based Phase Lock Loops (PLLs) are provided for use in navigational signal receivers. In an embodiment, a navigation receiver correlates a received navigational signal with a locally generated signal into correlation samples, e.g., one-millisecond correlation samples. The navigation receiver includes a FFT based PLL that corrects phase shifts in the correlation samples due to the Doppler frequency by considering both the Doppler frequency and its rate of change, which are obtained from a FFT computation with interpolation. The phase corrected correlation samples are then integrated over a length of a navigation data bit, e.g., 20 milliseconds, to determine the sign of the data bit of the received signal. In another embodiment, a soft decision feedback technique involving integration extending over the present data bit and several prior data bits is used to determine the sign of a present data bit of the received signal.

摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods for faster acquisition and more stable tracking of spread spectrum signals with lower computational load requirements. Instead of the present day practice of using only the Prompt correlator, the systems and methods of the invention use the sum of the powers of all the correlators of a channel to determine the acquisition or tracking of the signal. These systems and methods improve the signal acquisition speed resulting in a reduced Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF). Further, these systems and methods improve the acquisition and tracking sensitivity of the receiver.

摘要： A method and device to track navigational satellite signals, are claimed. In this invention, a combination of down-sampling and frequency domain transformation are used to track the navigational satellite signals under dynamic environment. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with long coherent integration has been employed to determine the varying frequency components with high resolution. By representing a number of correlation values with their average value, it is possible to represent a long sequence of input values by a smaller number of values and a relatively short length FFT can reveal the low frequency components that are present in the signal during tracking operation. A large reduction in the computational load may be achieved using this down-sampling method without compromising on the frequency resolution.
