An Introduction to SnapTrack Server-Aided GPS Technology

Mark Moeglein and Norman Krasner

Abstract:	The distributed SnapTrackÔ server-aided GPS system architecture and DSP software-based receiver solution draw from the best of GPS and wireless communications technology. The DSP-based receiver is superior to conventional correlator-based approaches in terms of cost, sensitivity, time-to-first-fix and power consumption. smart server provides key aiding information and performs navigation solutions, minimizing incremental handset costs and providing for improved acquisition times, sensitivity, and accuracy. This paper will describe the advantages of these innovations and demonstrate the technology with a presentation of field test results.
