As the P code has a long period, it is hard to directly acquire. The traditional average method can process multiple code phases in a time to shorten the acquisition time. But with the increase of average phase error of the input signal and the local code, the correlation signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） loss increases. To reduce the SNR loss, an improved average method is introduced. A new sequence is generated with a summation of phase shifting sequences to decrease correlation peak loss. Simulation results show that compared with direct average method, the improved average method effectively increases correlation SNR.展开更多

In view of this, a new approach of acquisition assisted by the control voltage of automatic gain control(AGC) is proposed. This approach judges the signal power according to the AGC control voltage and switches the working modes correspondingly and adaptively.

On this basis, the bidirectional overlap average algorithm based on optimal correlation SNR is proposed. The algorithm maintains SNR consistent in the entire initial average phase difference space, and has a better SNR performance than the overlap average algorithm. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by both theoretical analysis and simulation results. The SNR performance of the bidirectional overlap average algorithm is 5 dB better than that of the direct average algorithm, and 2 dB better than that of the overlap average algorithm, which provides the support for direct P-code acquisition in low SNR.展开更多

By eliminating the correlation peak loss caused by ultrahigh Doppler frequency and its rate-of-change offset,the proposed method improves the acquisition sensitivity by increasing the non-coherent accumulation time. The validity of the algorithm is proved by theoretical analysis and simulation results. It is shown that signals with a carrier- to-noise ratio as low as 39 dBHz can be captured with high performance when the Doppler frequency is up to ±1 MHz and its rate-of-change is up to ±200 kHz/s.展开更多
