GNSS信号多径误差非包络评估方法

针对全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system,GNSS)信号体制评估过程中,多径误差包络评估方法给出了多径误差的上界,并没有反映反射信号载波和子载波相位引入的码跟踪误差问题,提出了一种码跟踪多径误差非包络评估方法。该方法将反射信号的码相位延时映射到载波和子载波相位延时,为码跟踪多径误差提供了准确的理论值,而且避免了多径误差包络方法求包络曲线的过程。给出了该方法的理论表达式,对BPSK、AltBOC、MBOC和BOC信号进行了多径性能仿真,并与多径误差包络评估方法进行了对比。理论和仿真结果表明,本文方法能准确的估计码跟踪多径误差,为GNSS信号多径误差测量值提供有效的理论指导。     

GPS码跟踪环自适应多径消除算法

根据多径信号的产生机理,在对GPS接收机中的码跟踪环多径信号模型研究的基础上,提出了采用自适应滤波的来消除GPS多径效应的算法。自适应滤波的方法不需要估计模型的系统参数,而直接通过自适应滤波将多径信号滤除。在有噪声的情况下,自适应滤波的RLS算法是最小二乘意义下的最优估计,仿真的结果表明采用自适应滤波算法可以快速的消除多径的影响,修正鉴相函数的过零点偏差,提高码跟踪环的跟踪精度。由于自适应滤波算法是递推算法,易于软、硬件实现。

高动态宽带信号码跟踪方法仿真分析

针对高动态场景,单独的码环路很难实现跟踪,由于高动态载波跟踪的算法很成熟,通常应用载波跟踪结果对码环路进行辅助,针对窄体制信号,这种方法可以帮助消除码环的动态误差,但对宽体制信号来说,辅助力度减小。从高动态宽带信号码跟踪误差门限以及跟踪精度入手,分析了单独码跟踪算法的易失锁性,理论和仿真验证应用高动态载波跟踪结果辅助码跟踪算法的有效性,且具有高的跟踪精度。这为导航接收机的跟踪算法提供了理论依据。

SATLSim: a Semi-Analytic framework for fast GNSS tracking loop simulations

The analysis of tracking loops for global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers is often confined to Monte Carlo approaches that can result in long simulation times and a limited number of simulation runs. A different approach based on Semi-Analytic principles is considered here. Matlab^® code implementing a Semi-Analytic framework for the fast simulation of GNSS digital tracking loops is presented. The code structure is detailed and two specific examples implementing a standard PLL and the Double Estimator for unambiguous binary offset carrier (BOC) tracking are provided. The code has been organized in a modular way, and can be easily modified for the simulation of different tracking loops.

A multi-technique approach for characterizing the SVN49 signal anomaly, part 2: chip shape analysis

Due to a satellite internal reflection at the L5 test payload, the SVN49 (PRN1) GPS satellite exhibits a static multipath on the L1 and L2 signals, which results in elevation-dependent tracking errors for terrestrial receivers. Using a 30-m high-gain antenna, code and carrier phase measurements as well as raw in-phase and quadrature radio frequency samples have been collected during a series of zenith passes in mid-April 2010 to characterize the SVN49 multipath and its impact on common users. Following an analysis of the receiver tracking data and the IQ constellation provided in Part 1 of this study, the present Part 2 provides an in-depth investigation into chip shapes for the L1 and L2 signals. A single reflection model is found to be compatible with the observed chip shape distortions and key parameters for an elevation dependent multipath model are derived. A good agreement is found between multipath parameters derived independently from raw IQ-samples and measurements of a so-called Vision Correlator. The chip shapes and their observed variation with elevation can be used to predict the multipath response of different correlator types within a tracking receiver. The multipath model itself is suitable for implementation in a signal simulator and thus enables laboratory testing of actual receiver hardware.     

A comparison of P code and high performance C/A code GPS receivers for on the fly ambiguity resolution

Carrier phase ambiguity resolution on the fly is investigated using two receiver technologies, namely dual-frequency P code and high performance, single frequency, C/A code receivers. Both receiver types were used simultaneously in a series of land kinematic trials. A least-squares search technique is used to find the correct double difference carrier phase ambiguities. Both C/A and single frequency P code technologies are found to be equivalent and capable of resolving the integer ambiguities on the fly using some 30 to 200 seconds of data under benign multipath conditions. Successful ambiguity resolution on the fly results in cm-level accuracy kinematic positioning. The ambiguity resolution time required and success rate are however found to be strongly dependent on the level of carrier phase multipath and, as a consequence, on the error variance assigned to the carrier phase measurements. The use of widelaning with the dual frequency P code results in ambiguity resolution in seconds. The performance of widelaning is also superior in a comparatively high carrier phase multipath environment.     

GNSS导航信号的开环补偿多径抑制方法

多径的存在会给全球导航卫星系统的接收机带来较大的定位误差。因此,高精度的接收机须对多径信号进行抑制。针对目前常用的多径抑制方法的优缺点,提出了一种基于多门延迟和曲线拟合的多径抑制方法。该方法通过多门延迟来重塑伪码的自相关函数,用于找到直射信号的伪码真实位置和接收机码跟踪环路鉴别结果之间的偏差,进一步通过曲线拟合方法更加精确地计算出该偏差,最后将该偏差通过开环方法补偿给伪距计算,使得接收机在不改变环路跟踪性能和抗动态干扰性能的前提下实现定位性能的提升。仿真结果表明新算法在前端带宽的影响下对短、中长多径均能进行有效地抑制。      

基于QBOC码的BOC信号码跟踪环路的性能分析

在Galileo系统建设和GPS现代化的进程中，为实现与BPSK（Bi-phase Shift Keying）的频谱分离，采用了BOC（Binary Offset Carrier）调制。BOC调制在码跟踪精度、多径抑制等方面比BPSK调制具有更好的性能，但其自相关函数的多相关峰特性使得在测距中可能产生偏差，因此，消除相关峰的模糊度是BOC信号接收中非常关键的问题。介绍了一种基于QBOC码的BOC信号码跟踪环路（“BOC十QBOC-BOC”），并推导出该环路码跟踪性能的解析表达式，最后的仿真结果验证了理论推导的正确性，可为BOC信号接收机的设计提供参考。     

Weighted discriminators for GNSS BOC signal tracking

Modern Global Navigation Satellite System including Galileo and GPS III will employ multiplexed binary offset carrier (MBOC) modulation to achieve spectrum separation and enhanced tracking performance. A challenge of the MBOC or BOC signal tracking is the presence of ambiguities due to multiple sidepeaks of the autocorrelation functions. Several different techniques including multi-correlator and double estimator schemes have been proposed to address the ambiguity issue. We propose a class of ambiguity-free code tracking techniques by exploiting the unique features of the BOC modulation. In the proposed architecture, the incoming BOC-modulated signals are correlated with BOC-modulated replica and the spreading codes, respectively. Through a multiplicative combination strategy of the two correlator outputs, a noncoherent weighted discriminator is formed and shown to possess the ambiguity-free property. The multipath effect is assessed and compared with existing early-minus-late power and autocorrelation sidepeak cancellation technique discriminators. The noise effects of the theory and simulation are also discussed. In order to further verify the proposed scheme, a set of field data of a Galileo in-orbit validation satellite is collected and processed. It is demonstrated that the proposed method is simple to implement, free from ambiguities, and yields acceptable performance in the presence of multipath and noise.
