Abstract

Abstract:

In order to solve the ambiguous tracking problem for binary offset carrier (BOC) modulated signals which are used in global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a unitary unambiguous tracking method which is suitable for all kinds of BOC modulated signals is proposed to solve the ambiguous tracking problem. Firstly, the concept of step-shape bits vector is proposed to obtain a unified signal expression. Then, a formula of the cross-correlation function based on step-shape bits vector is derived. Finally, an unambiguous tracking method is proposed based on the idea of combined correlation functions. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method can deal with all kinds of BOC modulated signals including composite and complex ones with different phases or orders. An unambiguous correlated function with narrow single peak can be obtained by the proposed method. Furthermore, the anti-noise and multipath mitigation performance of proposed method are analyzed and the proposed method has better performance in anti-noise mitigation than the traditional unambiguous tracking methods.

Key words: global navigation satellite systems, binary offset carrier, unambiguous tracking, combined correlation functions, anti-noise, multipath mitigation
