Unambiguous Tracker for GPS Binary-Offset-Carrier Signals

R.L. Fante

Abstract: Binary-offset-carrier waveforms have autocorrelation functions containing multiple peaks, thus leading to potential tracking ambiguities. We have developed a discriminator that is monotonic over the entire range of delays where the correlation function has significant support; thus eliminating ambiguities. The price paid is the need for additional gates, some loss in sensitivity, and some additional computations.
