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： 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.

摘要： The present invention provides GPS receivers capable of tracking very weak GPS signals particularly in an indoor environment without assistance from an external server or a network. In a preferred embodiment, a GPS receiver initially acquires and locks onto GPS satellite signals to compute receiver position outdoors. The GPS receiver then tracks at least one satellite signal indoors to maintain acquisition parameters for quick acquisition of GPS signals. To save power, the receiver automatically goes to the sleep state and periodically wakes up, i.e., powers up, to maintain the at least one satellite signal tracking. During the wakeup state, the receiver collects ephemeris data from the at least one satellite signal when the ephemeris data needs to be updated for quick acquisition of GPS signals.
