The present invention discloses methods, apparatuses, and systems for eliminating auto- and cross-correlation in weak signal CDMA systems, such as GPS systems. The invention uses parallel data paths that allow standard correlation of signals in parallel with verification of the lock signal to determine whether the system has locked onto the proper signal within the scanned signal window. The invention can be made with multiple CPUs, a single CPU with dual input modes, on multiple IC chips, or as a single IC chip solution for small, low cost reception, downconversion, correlation, and verification systems.

A direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) receiver may be operable to process signal samples in frequency domain utilizing a prime factor fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit and a pseudorandom noise (PRN) code. The DSSS receiver may be operable to transform the signal samples into FFT signal samples using the prime factor FFT circuit, transform the PRN code into a FFT PRN code using the prime factor FFT circuit and multiply the FFT signal samples with the FFT PRN code using the prime factor FFT circuit. The DSSS receiver may be operable to inversely transform the multiplied FFT signal samples into correlated signal samples using a prime factor inverse FFT (IFFT) implemented by the prime factor FFT circuit. The prime factor FFT circuit may comprise a prime length FFT core, a FFT memory, a register bank, a switch, a multiplier and a FFT controller.

An integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver may be operable to decompose GNSS IF signals associated with GPS satellites and/or GLONASS satellites into a constituent narrowband GPS data stream and/or a plurality of constituent narrowband GLONASS data streams utilizing, for example, a GPS IF tuner and/or one or more GLONASS IF tuners. The narrowband GLONASS data streams and/or the narrowband GPS data stream may be processed at reduced sampling rates utilizing a shared sample memory in the integrated GNSS receiver. The narrowband GLONASS data streams and/or the narrowband GPS data stream may be stored in allocated sections of the shared sample memory. The stored narrowband GLONASS data streams and/or the stored narrowband GPS data stream may be processed using a correlation such as a fast Fourier transform (FFT) correlation.

A system and method are provided for determining a position of a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver prior to bit and frame synchronization. As such, the time-to-first-fix is substantially reduced. More specifically, pseudoranges to five GPS satellites are measured by correlating locally generated Pseudo-Random Number (PRN) codes with signals received from the GPS satellites. After correlation, the pseudorange measurements are correct with an unknown integer number of milliseconds error, which is different for each of the pseudorange measurements. Using the measurements of the pseudoranges and a mathematical model where each of the pseudorange measurements is forced to have a common channel time error, the user position and the common channel time error are determined prior to bit and frame synchronization.
摘要:
A CDMA coded, spread spectrum radio signal containing a strong signal and a weak signal is received, and the interference of the strong signal with the weak signal is computed to enhance the ability to track the weak signal. The codes modulating both signals are known, and the weak signal can be predicted. The interference of the strong signal is calculated as the product of the amplitude of the strong signal and the predicted crosscorrelation of the strong signal with the weak signal. The strong signal may be measured, predicted, or acquired through a combination of both methods. The crosscorrelation may be predicted for a range of weak signal values, and the weak signal selected as the prediction producing the greatest received power.
