    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver provided according to an aspect of the present invention contains a buffer to store less than a number of samples spanning a code period of a received GNSS signal, with the samples being used by a correlator and a processor to perform various searches in the receiver. Due to the use of such smaller memory space in the buffer, the overall size of receivers may be reduced. According to another aspect of the present invention, the amount of storage provided for storing local code and carrier samples (used during correlation) is also reduced by dynamically generating the local code and carrier sample as required for generating partial correlation results.
