Gollum: A VLSI Multi-System Navigation Receiver

Eric Aardoom and Andre Nieuwland

Abstract:	This paper discusses the design of Gollum, a ra- dionavigation system for air navigation. Gollum con- tains multi-channel C/A code GPS, Omega, Loran-C and MLS receiver functions, and features a very high level of system integration. It is built around a high-performance single-chip Application Specific Processor (ASP), which performs tasks ranging from digital signal processing to receiver control and posi- tion calculation. The ASP features a new 6-channel pipelined multiplex correlation engine for parallel 6- channel GPS operation and vector register units for Loran-C input FIR filtering and spectrum analysis. The ASP is targeted to be realized on a 180,000 transistor 1.6 Pam CMOS sea-of-gates chip.
