Acquisition of modern GNSS signals using a modified parallel code-phase search architecture

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

The acquisition of global navigation satellite system signals can be performed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT). The FFT-based acquisition performs a circular correlation, and is thus sensitive to potential transitions between consecutive periods of th ...

Resource and Performance Comparisons for Different Acquisition Methods that can be Applied to a VHDL-based GPS Receiver in Standalone and Assisted Cases

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

There are mainly three well-known techniques to acquire a GNSS signal. The first, called Serial Search Acquisition, consist in correlating the Pseudo-Random Noise (PRN) codes for all the codes phases and all the frequency bins. The two others make use of t ...

Modified parallel code-phase search for acquisition in presence of sign transition

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

One of the method to have a fast acquisition of GNSS signals is the parallel code-phase search, which uses the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to perform the correlation. A problem with this method is the potential sign transition that can happen between two ...

Bulk-source-coupled CMOS Quadrature Oscillators

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Uroschanit Yodprasit

A quadrature oscillator based on a coupling between the bulk and the source of MOS transistors is proposed. Since the resonator load is not directly involved in the coupling process, the oscillation frequency is very close to the resonant frequency, hence ...
