Quasi-optimal receiver for tracking and acquisition of a split spectrum pn gps c/a signal

摘要

A receiver for tracking and acquisition of the split spectrum PN GPS C/A signal constellation from an earth-orbiting satellite for radiolocation includes an RF front end for receiving and downconverting the split spectrum PN GPS C/A signals from the earth-orbiting satellite to an IF signal. The total power in the split spectrum PN GPS C/A signal is compressed and the compressed split spectrum PN GPS C/A signals are supplied to a utilization device.
