Digital Hopping GPS/GLONASS Receiver

James Danaher and Ronald R. Gerlach

Abstract:	In many applications there is great benefit in continuously tracking signals from a large number of spread spectrum navigation satellites. Satellite navigation can be improved by use of satellites in preferred geometric positions when a receiver can track more than the minimum required number of satellites. Kinematic positioning can use additional satellites for more rapid integer cycle determination and cycle slip correction. Terrestrial navigation can use extra satellites to overcome sky obscuration from buildings, foliage and terrain. Navigation integrity measurements can be obtained by comparing measurements from satellites in multiple constellations.
