Abstract: An integrated GNSS signal having a plurality of signal components with arbitrary power allocation may be processed. In an embodiment, an integrated signal processing unit of a GNSS receiver may generate in parallel complex rotated samples for a sample of the integrated signal. The complex rotated samples (e.g., early and late complex rotated samples) may be accumulated in parallel in a window that spans any arbitrary width that is less than or equal to a number of code chips in a PRN code sequence. In an embodiment, the integrated signal processing unit may sequentially generate complex rotated samples for the sample. The complex rotated samples (e.g., early, punctual, and late complex rotated samples) may be sequentially accumulated in the window. The GNSS receiver may utilize the accumulated complex rotated samples to perform correlation techniques, perform multipath mitigation techniques, and/or track the integrated signal.

Abstract: A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver demodulates code shift keying (CSK) data utilizing a binary search. The GNSS receiver receives a signal including a pseudorandom noise (PRN) code modulated by code shift keying (CSK) to represent a symbol (i.e., CSK modulated symbol). The GNSS receiver maintains a plurality of receiver codes each representing a different shift in chips to the PRN code. The GNSS receiver performs a linear combination of portions of the receiver codes. In an embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares correlation power level value for respective portions of the receiver codes to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares the correlation power level values for portions of receiver codes with power detection threshold values to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver utilizes signs of the correlation power level values to demodulate the CSK data.

Abstract: A remote survey system uses a GNSS receiver, an on-board camera and a vision subsystem to provide real time three-dimensional (3D) global position information for a survey point that is in a location in which access to line-of-sight GNSS satellites signals is restricted. The camera takes images of the restricted access survey point location from unrestricted access locations and the GNSS receiver determines associated global positions. The vision system tracks an object of interest and at least three secondary objects at the restricted access survey point location in a plurality of the images and determines the positions of the objects relative to the camera and the orientations of the camera for the respective images. Using the relative positions, the camera orientations and the global positions of the camera, the vision subsystem calculates the global position of the restricted access survey point.

Abstract: A system and method to determine the location of an interfering signal source within a few meters. Three or more networked GNSS receivers are located at known locations and used to simultaneously collect and time-stamp data samples at L1 and L2. The data samples are passed over the network to a server which identifies samples associated with an interfering signal, cross correlates associated samples from pairs of receivers, and applies a discriminator function to significantly improve the accuracy of a computed time difference of arrival (TDOA) for the interfering signal, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the location determination.

Abstract: A GNSS receiver and antenna system transmits signals from an antenna structure to a remote GNSS receiver and includes a digital communications subsystem that utilizes a high speed digital communications conductor. The transmissions are digital signals that preserve GNSS satellite signal frequency and/or carrier and code phase information. The system may transmit digital signals corresponding to GNSS signals such as GPS, GLONAS, Galileo and Compass satellite signals. In addition, the system may transmit, over the same digital communications conductor in appropriately formatted digital signals, ranging signals from ground-based transmitters or other satellites, differential GNSS correction signals from beacons or base GPS receivers, and/or signals from transmitting or co-located sensors, such as inertial sensors, temperature sensors and so forth.

Abstract: An anti-jamming subsystem for jamming signals originating along the horizon includes a two-dimensional horizontal array of antennas that effectively has a horizontal circular reception pattern for receiving signals originating along the horizon and a antenna that has a half hemispherical reception pattern and an upward looking view of the sky. The subsystem utilizes associated phase information to actively combine the signals received by the respective antennas in the array, to produce one or more anti-jamming signals with narrow beams in the directions of the jammers. The subsystem combines the anti-jamming signals with the signals received by the reference antenna, to produce signals for further processing in which the interference from the jamming signals originating along the horizon is minimized without adversely affecting the signals received by the reference antenna from at least higher elevation satellites.
