摘要： A multi-band receiver for use with satellite ranging systems is provided. The receiver has a simplified architecture in which input signals of various frequencies are multiplexed together to form a single composite analog signal. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, this composite signal only requires a single RF circuit for down conversion to an intermediate frequency. The composite, downconverted signal is sampled, and the digitized samples are demultiplexed to form digital counterparts of the original signals from each frequency band. An embodiment for use with elements of a phased array antenna is also provided.

摘要： A receiver for pseudorandom noise (PRN) encoded signals consisting of a sampling circuit and multiple channel circuits, with each channel circuit including a carrier and code synchronizing circuit and multiple digital correlators with dynamically adjustable code delay spacing. The sampling circuit provides high-rate digital samples of the incoming composite signal to each receiver channel. Within each channel, the synchronizing circuit detects cycle slips in a locally generated carrier reference signal as well as phase drift in a locally generated PRN code signal. The correlators compare the digital samples with a locally generated PRN code to produce early, late, and/or punctual correlation signals which are used to adjust the local PRN code. A non-linear sampling technique may be used to provide increased sensitivity in the presence of continuous wave interfering signals.

摘要： A receiver employs a pre-correlation filter to determine the precise timing of, for example, a PRN code on the quadrature channel of a received signal, using an image of the average chip shape that the filter forms for a PRN code on the in-phase channel. The image is expressed as a time series of complex power measurements along the length of a single chip. The averaging process retains the detail of the composite in-phase signal (direct plus multipath signals) while reducing the level of signal noise by an amount proportional to the length of the averaging process. An analysis of the image reveals that there is, in the in-phase channel signal that is averaged, information from the quadrature channel signal. The quadrature channel signal information produces, in the image of the average chip shape of the in-phase channel PRN code, a “wiggle” that corresponds to the timing of the chips of the quadrature channel PRN code. The receiver detects the chip edges of the quadrature PRN code directly from an analysis of the high frequency phase modulations of the complex vector of samples that represents the average chip shape. Using GPS signals, the receiver detects the P-code transitions by synchronizing to the 10.23 MHz phase modulations in the complex vector of samples that represent the averaged chip shape. The receiver uses the detected P-code transitions and, more particularly, the P-code transitions that are closest to the C/A code transitions, to produce P-code phase information that the receiver uses pseudorange calculations to remove biases associated with timing differences between the transmission of the in-phase and quadrature PRN codes.

摘要： An AltBoc receiver accumulates power measurements over code chip ranges that are associated with time slots that span the code chips. The receiver combines a received signal with code and carrier phase offsets that correspond to the time slots to produce the power measurements, with the code phase offsets determined from compressed signals representing one or a combination of the codes in the AltBoc signal. The receiver recovers navigation data from the data channels of the received signal and combines the recovered data with the corresponding locally generated PRN codes to produce a locally generated 4 code signal that is then used track the full 8PSK AltBoc received signal. The receiver rotates and shifts the phase of the received signal in order to line up the subcarrier splitting code zero crossings. The pulse shape of this rotated and shifted signal is measured. The resulting sharp edges of the recovered subcarrier are used to control the code phase of the receiver.

摘要： A system for analyzing three-dimensional seismic data includes a plurality of digitizer units, each with a configuration of geophones, a data recording and control center, a base GPS receiver with an associated antenna with a substantially unrestricted view of the sky and at the respective digitizer units low-power slave GPS receivers that acquire and track GPS satellite signals using tracking assistance information provided by the base GPS receiver. The slave GPS receivers use the tracking assistance information to acquire and track GPS satellite signals that may be relatively weak at the receivers, due to conditions at the site, such as foliage canopies and so forth. The system processes range information provided by the slave GPS receivers over an extended period of time. In this way, the precise positions of the respective slave GPS receivers, and thus, the digitizer units, can be calculated, even if the slave GPS receivers are able to observe and collect data from sets of two or more satellites for only three or four relatively short time intervals at various sky positions during the extended period. The slave GPS receivers then locally produce for the digitizer units timing signals that are based on the GPS codes and synchronized across the system. If a given slave GPS receiver cannot, at a given time, track any GPS satellite signals, a nearby slave GPS receiver supplies the timing information required for the geophone data gathering operations.

摘要： A receiver for pseudorandom noise (PRN) encoded signals consisting of a sampling circuit, multiple carrier and code synchronizing circuits, and multiple digital autocorrelators. The sampling circuit provides digital samples of a received composite signal to each of the several receiver channel circuits. The synchronizing circuits are preferably non-coherent, in the sense that they track any phase shifts in the received signal and adjust the frequency and phase of a locally generated carrier reference signal accordingly, even in the presence of Doppler or ionospheric distortion. The autocorrelators in each channel form a delay lock loop (DLL) which correlates the digital samples of the composite signal with locally generated PRN code values to produce a plurality of (early, late), or (punctual, early-minus-late) correlation signals. The time delay spacing between the (early, late), and (punctual, early-minus-late) correlation signals are dynamically adjusted, such that in an initial acquisition mode, the delay spacing is relatively wide, on the order of approximately one PRN code chip time; once PRN code lock is achieved, the code delay spacing is narrowed to a fraction of a PRN code chip time.

摘要： A receiver for pseudorandom noise (PRN) encoded signals consisting of a sampling circuit, multiple carrier and code synchronizing circuits, and multiple digital autocorrelators. The sampling circuit provides digital samples of a received composite signal to each of the several receiver channel circuits. The synchronizing circuits are preferably non-coherent, in the sense that they track any phase shifts in the received signal and adjust the frequency and phase of a locally generated carrier reference signal accordingly, even in the presence of Doppler or ionospheric distortion. The autocorrelators in each channel form a delay lock loop (DLL) which correlates the digital samples of the composite signal with locally generated PRN code values to produce a plurality of (early, late), or (punctual, early-minus-late) correlation signals. Thus, during an initial acquisition mode, the delay spacing is relatively wide, on the order of approximately one PRN code chip time. However, once PRN code synchronism has been achieved, the code delay spacing is narrowed, to a fraction of a PRN code chip time. There are several advantages to this arrangement, especially in environments wherein multipath distortion in the received composite signal is of the same order of magnitude as a PRN code chip time.
