摘要： Analog-to-digital conversion through successive approximation is implemented by means of a charge coupled device. During the conversion process two charges are compared, each comparison yielding one bit of a multi-bit number. By increasing the lesser of the compared charges after each comparison, the need to subtract charge as part of the successive approximation process is eliminated.

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.

摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods for enabling a navigation signal receiver to perform both data assisted and non-data assisted integration to provide better integration during signal acquisition, reacquisition and tracking. In data assisted integration mode, a receiver uses known or predicted data bits to remove the modulated data bits of a received signal prior to integration. In non data assisted integration mode, when the data bits are not known or predictable, the receiver uses an optimal estimation or maximum likelihood algorithm to determine the polarities of the modulated data bits of the received signal. This may be done by determining which of various possible bit pattern yields the maximum integrated power. When the modulated data bits are not known or predictable over a limited range, the receiver carries out data assisted integration over the known or predictable data bits and additional non data assisted integration.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided that compensate for frequency drift due to temperature variation without the need for a temperature sensor. In one embodiment, a navigation receiver with an integrated communication device receives a base station reference signal, which is used to periodically calibrate a local oscillator frequency. In another embodiment, the calibrated local oscillator frequency drives a counter that is used to provide code phase estimation at the start of satellite signal acquisition. To provide temperature compensation in one embodiment, the calibrated local frequency is used to drive one or more counters at different calibration rates (i.e., different time intervals between calibrations). Count values from these counters are used to determine compensation for frequency drift due to temperature variation based on predicted frequency drift variation patterns between calibrations. This temperature compensation does not require a temperature sensor and further improves the accuracy of the code phase estimation.

摘要： The techniques to detect and mitigate the false reacquisition in a global satellite navigation receiver are disclosed. The false reacquisition due to frequency side-lobes and code autocorrelation secondary lobes are considered for mitigation. A set of two threshold values is used to detect correct reacquisition and reject false reacquisition. While the reacquisition of the signal is straight forward when the correlation is clear with the power above the first threshold, it is not so clear when the power is between two thresholds. So a further search for the maximum power among the retained dwells results in correct reacquisition. The search range depends upon the signal blockage interval and receiver dynamics. The feedback from navigational solution may be used to determine the search range both in frequency and code phase. In the case of frequency side-lobes, which occur only at specified frequency components, these frequencies are tested for maximum power response. The code side-lobes have similar characteristics and can be distinguished by the actual peak.
