A new frequency domain search strategy in high sensitivity GPS signal acquisition circuit designing

The contradiction between the sensitivity and the frequency domain searching speed of GPS signal acquisition circuit has been discussed for a long time. The signal integration operation which enhances the sensitivity of the system also makes the frequency slots narrower, which affects the speed of the system. In this research a high sensitivity GPS signal acquisition circuit is implemented with a new frequency domain search strategy. The new strategy combines DDS sweep strategy with cyclic shifting sweep strategy which makes the TTFF (time to first fix) reduced evidently. The extra hardware resource cost of the new strategy is acceptable. The speed advantage of the new frequency domain search strategy has been verified by hardware comparison tests.     

Galileo卫星导航系统单频模拟软件信号源的设计

Galileo模拟信号源既可以为Galileo接收机的设计与测试提供良好的仿真环境,同时也可为Galileo系统新技术新方案的验证提供平台。本文针对Galileo E1频段信号提出了一种基于C++软件平台的中频模拟信号源设计框架。文章在给出中频信号数学模型及模拟软源的设计原理框图的基础上,进一步将设计按功能分为5部分,分别为伪随机码产生,导航电文生成,信号MBOC调制,环境和误差模拟以及信号量化部分,详细的给出前3部分设计思路与流程是本文的重点。最后通过输出信号频谱仿真结果,及捕获验证结果证明了模拟软源设计的正确性。
