Abstract: A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver can include a code generator, a signal correlator circuit, and a processor. The code generator can generate samples of a plurality of ranging codes associated with corresponding GNSS transmitters. The signal correlator circuit can receive, according to a first clock rate, samples of a signal from a GNSS transmitter, and update, according to a second clock rate and a time division multiplexing scheme, cross-correlation values indicative of cross-correlations between the signal and a subset of the plurality of ranging codes. The second clock rate can be equal to at least multiple times the first clock rate. The signal correlator circuit can determine final results of the cross-correlation values based on the updating of the cross-correlation values, and a processor can identify the GNSS transmitter among the plurality of GNSS transmitters based on the final results of the cross correlation values.

Abstract: Efficient transform-based quantization methods and quantization processors implementing such efficient transform-based quantization methods are disclosed. A transform-based quantization method may include: receiving an input signal transformed in a transform domain; producing a low-resolution signal by reducing a resolution of the input signal according to a reduction ratio; inversely transforming the low-resolution signal to produce an inversely transformed low-resolution signal; and quantizing the inversely transformed low-resolution signal to produce a quantized output.

Abstract: A positioning system receiver is disclosed. The positioning system receiver includes an antenna for receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. The positioning system receiver also includes a radio frequency front end system configured to convert the received RF signals into intermediate frequency signals. The positioning system receiver further includes a digital processing and correlation system, receiving the intermediate frequency signals and including a plurality of taps on the autocorrelation function main lobe and a plurality of taps on at least one of the autocorrelation function side lobes. The digital processing and correlation system uses the signals received from the taps in a dot product detector algorithm to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiver system.

Abstract: A low-cost interference reduction system reduces interfering and jamming signals in a global positioning system receiver for such applications as rotating weapons and hand-held GPS receivers. A pair of antennas having a spin symmetric gain pattern receive global positioning system signals and interfering signals. An antijam electronics function connected to the antennas processes the global positioning system signals and the interfering signals to produce an output signal with reduced interfering signal levels. The global positioning system receiver is connected to the antijam electronics function for processing the global positioning system signals into position solutions and for providing a power detector output and a clock output to the antijam electronics function.

Abstract: Provided are a method of and a circuit for processing GPS signals in the L1 frequency band centered around frequency f.sub.L1 and GPS signals in the L2 frequency band centered around frequency f.sub.L2. The L1 frequency band signals are combined with the L2 frequency band signals to obtain a combined signal having both an L1 frequency band component and an L2 frequency band component. The combined signal is frequency converted by mixing it with a local oscillator signal centered around a frequency f.sub.L0 to obtain a frequency converted combined signal centered around a third center frequency f.sub.C3. The frequency converted combined signal is filtered to provide an output signal having substantially all of its components centered around the third center frequency f.sub.C3. The frequency f.sub.
