    摘要: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to multi-frequency satellite navigation receiver technology. More specifically, some embodiments relate to an inter-frequency signal aiding technique for multi-frequency signal tracking in a multi-frequency receiver. The present technology enables a satellite navigation receiver (such as GPS) to continue operation, or to have improved performance, in environments where signals on one or more frequency bands experience fading. Some embodiments can estimate parameters of signal channels that experience fading based on measurements obtained from all or other less compromised frequency bands in linear operation by the receiver. Some embodiments can optimally estimate carrier parameters of navigation signals with consideration of relative measurement qualities. These parameters are used to construct the local reference signals, maintain lock on the fading signals, and obtain accurate positioning solutions and remote sensing observations.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a light receiving surface, and two or more pixels opposed to the light receiving surface. Each of the pixels includes a photoelectric conversion section that performs photoelectric conversion on light entering via the light receiving surface, a first charge holding section that holds a charge transferred from the photoelectric conversion section, and a second charge holding section disposed at a position where all or a portion thereof overlaps the first charge holding section in a planar layout, and formed to have no electrical continuity to the first charge holding section. Each of the pixels further includes a first transfer transistor that transfers the charge held by the first charge holding section to a floating diffusion, and a second transfer transistor that transfers a charge held by the second charge holding section to the floating diffusion.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for obtaining a correlation function between a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signal and a spreading code. A plurality of code replica samples are stored in memory at a relatively low sampling rate compared to the sampling rate at which the input DSSS signal is sampled. A correlation operator is obtained by reproducing the stored code replica samples, in order to obtain a correlation operator with the same number of samples as the block of DSSS signal samples currently being processed. For example, when the sampling rate of the DSSS signal is equal to an integer N multiple of the sampling rate used for the code replica samples, the stored replica samples are reproduced N times to obtain the correlation operator. The correlation operator is then multiplied by the block of DSSS signal samples and integrated to obtain a correlation function.
