The Z-12 Performance Advantage

Robert Lorenz and Sergei Gourevitch

Abstract:	The “Z” signal processing technique has proved to be an effective and robust technique for affording the civilian user access to dual frequency GPS data. All methods of tracking the GPS Y-code signals, without knowledge of the Y-code proper, result in some SNR degradation. This paper describes the “Z” technique, presents a straightforward analytical model for computing this SNR degradation, and shows SNR data in support of these calculations.
