Abstract: A method and system for determining a geolocation of an object includes collecting a positioning signal including a predetermined message data segment. A time of arrival of the predetermined message data segment may be determined in the positioning signal. Information based on the time of arrival may be provided for determination of a geolocation of an object. The time of arrival of the predetermined message data segment may be determined based on a time search for the predetermined message data segment in the positioning signal.

Abstract: Frequency-offset components are extracted from a set of digitized samples of signals transmitted by a satellite. The samples are squared to produce squared samples and decimated. The squared samples are auto-correlated to produce an auto-correlate, and the auto-correlate is truncated. The truncated auto-correlate is transformed into the frequency domain to obtain double-frequency offset components. The scaled offset frequencies are used to compensate for Döppler-shift and receiver frequency errors and for Döppler induced time errors in digitized samples used to estimate pseudorange information.
