The potential benefits and technical requirements of C band for satellite navi- gation have been analyzed before. However the degradation of effective carrier-power-to-noise densi- ty ratio（ A （C/No ）eu） based on code tracking spectral sensitivity coefficient（ CT_SSC ） as a compati- bility assessment methodology for potential GNSS radio frequency compatibility in C-Band has not been discussed clearly. So the compatibility of the signals in the C band between BeiDou （BD） B1 C and GPS L1C, L1C/A, Galileo E1Os as the interoperability or classical signals in L band is analyzed. Simulation results reveal the interference degree between BD III B1C and GPS L1C/A, L1C, Galileo E1OS. The results can also reveal that the multiplexed binary offset carrier （MBOC） and binary phase shift keying （BPSK） modulation is not appropriate for C band.展开更多

Noncommensurate sampling technology is widely used because it is viewed as an effective solution to cope with the drawback of digital effects. However, the relationship between the sampling rate and auto-correlation function （ACF） is not adequately characterized by traditional analysis. The principles for selecting the sampling rate are still not apparent. In order to solve this problem, we first analyzed the effects of different sampling rates on ACF and obtained the analytical form of a discrete auto-correlation function （DACF） for a noncommensurate sampling rate. Based on the result, the relationship between the step variation in DACF and NELP parameters such as sampling rate, integration time, and correlator spacing was determined. The maximum step variation size of DACF was also determined. However, considering the actual situation, additional factors such as code Doppler shift, precorrelation filter, and thermal noise may degrade the step variation of DACE The relationship between the step variation and these factors was analyzed separately. An appropriate sampling rate and appropriate correlator spacing were proposed to achieve the typical accuracy of measurement. The numerical simulation verified the validity of the above theoretical analyses, and finally, the conclusions and design constraints for the digital GPS receiver are summarized.展开更多

The pseudorange information of Bei Dou B1 signals has been fused and changed for vector tracking, so a correlation output model for complex scenarios is designed to prevent the propagation of error and valuate the signal performance. The relevant software and hardware factors that affect the output are analyzed.A single channel time-division multiplexing(TDM) method for multicorrelation data extraction is proposed. Statistical characteristics of the correlation output data for both vector and scalar structures are evaluated. Simulation results show that correlation outputs for both structures follow normal or Chi-squared distributions in normal conditions, and the Gamma distribution in harsh conditions. It is shown that a tracking model based on the multi-channel fusion hardly changes the probability distribution of the correlation output in the normal case, but it reduces the ranging error of the code loop, and hence the tracking ability of the code loop for weak signals is improved. Furthermore, vector tracking changes the pseudorange characteristics of channels anytime, and affects the mutual correlation outputs of the code loops in the abnormal case. This study provides a basis for the subsequent design of autonomous integrity algorithms for vector tracking.展开更多

Presented here is a code called Single Track Cyclic Gray Code (STCGC) that is an image etched on a single circular track of a rotary encoder disk read by a group of even spread reading heads to provide a unique codeword for every angular position and features such that every two adjacent words differ in exactly one component, thus avoiding coarse error. The existing construction or combination methods are helpful but not sufficient in determining the period of the STCGC of large word length and the theoretical approach needs further development to extend the word length. Three principles, such as the seed combination, short code removal and ergodicity examination were put forward that suffice determination of the optimal period for such absolute rotary encoders using STCGC with even spread heads. The optimal periods of STCGC in 3 through 29 bit length were determined and listed.展开更多
