Investigating the Impact of Ionospheric Scintillation using a GPS Software Receiver
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ionospheric scintillation on GPS signals, based on a GPS software receiver developed at the University of Calgary, were investigated using an intermediate frequency (IF) GPS signal simulator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating GPS signals indoors with extreme high-sensitivity detection techniques
TL;DR: Details are presented of a raw GPS processing technique that enables extremely long coherent integrations, thereby providing extremely high detection sensitivity for indoor signals and the potential for improved high-sensitivity GPS-based technologies using ultra-tight integration with additional sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential combining for acquiring weak GPS signals
TL;DR: This paper proves that differential combining (DFC) outperforms conventional non-coherent integration (NCH) in the detection of weak GPS signals by implementing rigorous mathematical analysis and using curve fitting to approximate CPDFs produced by Monte-Carlo simulation.
Differential Signal Processing Schemes for Enhanced GPS Acquisition
TL;DR: A set of differential processing schemes designed for the GPS L1 C/A signal both theoretically and with live GPS data are examined, offering the potential for enhanced sensitivity, TTFF, or both, in systems with lower complexity than AGPS requires.
Implementation and Testing of a Real-Time Software-Based GPS Receiver for x86 Processors
TL;DR: Using the MMX technology available on x86-compatible processors to more rapidly perform the Doppler removal and code correlation computations, which will enable a multi-channel GPS receiver on low-end general purpose processors much more easily in the future.
