  • Method of determining a GPS position fix and a GPS receiver for the same
    Patent number: 7679556
    Abstract: A method of determining a GPS position fix. The method includes: (i) sampling received GPS signals and storing those samples; (ii) conducting preliminary processing of those GPS signal samples to determine the likelihood of being able to obtain a position fix during later, final processing of those GPS signal samples; and (iii) after step (ii), conducting final processing of those GPS signal samples to obtain a position fix.

  • Method of Determining a Gps Position Fix a Gps Receiver for the Same
    Publication number: 20080231510
    Abstract: A method of determining a GPS position fix comprising the steps of: (i) sampling received GPS signals and storing those samples; (ii) conducting preliminary processing of those GPS signal samples to determine the likelihood of being able to obtain a position fix during later, final processing of those GPS signal samples; and (iii) after step (ii), conducting final processing of those GPS signal samples to obtain a position fix.

  • Method of generating a time shifted signal
    Patent number: 7010021
    Abstract: A time shifted replica signal (SLS) is generated from a reference signal (SPS) including a series of samples (A to K) describing bits of a data message, the sampling rate being at least twice the data message bit rate. The phases of the reference signal samples are determined with respect to virtual epochs (41) of the data message bits of the reference signal (SPS). The time shifted replica signal (SLS) is composed from the reference signal samples as a function of the phases of the reference signal samples. In another embodiment, the time shifted replica signal (SLS) is composed from the reference signal samples (A to K), the sampling rate of the replica signal (SLS) being the same as that of the reference signal (SPS), at least one reference signal sample (A to K) not being present in the time shifted replica signal (SLS).
