Abstract: | GPS P-Code has a higher chipping rate, better accuracy, and anti-jamming property than C/A code. Traditionally, GPS P-Code acquisition depends on handover from C/A code. This potentially needs long acquisition time. Moreover, when C/A code is not available, it is no longer possible to acquire GPS P-Code through handover from C/A code. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new overlap average method to facilitate hardware design of fast direct P-Code acquisition. It allows the rapid code phase search to acquire GPS P-Code signals, and also decreases the hardware resource requirement. The small size FFT in the proposed methods is very promising for fast FPGA hardware system design using FFT cores. The simulation results and theoretical analysis are included demonstrating the overall performance of the proposed method. |
