This paper presents an unambiguous acquisition algorithm for Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) modulation signals, which is adopted by modernized Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). By utilizing FFT, the spectrum of BOC signals is derived. This paper proposes an unambiguous acquisition method based on FFT to get rid of the BOC modulation drawback. By utilizing FFT, the spectrum of BOC signal is derived. The up and down sideband are separated in frequency domain by rectangular function, which means sideband filtering. Due to sparsity of filtered BOC spectrum, frequency compression method is proposed to reduce the number of IFFT points. Theoretical and simulation results show that this technique completely removes the ambiguity threat in acquisition process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
