Abstract

Binary offset carrier modulation is applied in several signals of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). It enhanced the robustness of GNSS against the impact of multipath and make the compatibility of GNSS better. However, it has the main drawback of potentially giving biased measurements in acquisition and tracking. The technique we proposed is based on linear fitting with multi-correlator to accomplish unambiguous tracking. The coefficient of each correlator was deduced in this paper. The theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed method can performs well on multipath and thermal noise.
