8:30 - 12:00, Monday, String 3
310A: New Military and 
Civil Signals I 
Structure, Processing & Tracking

Register for this tutorial  ~  Back to main tutorials page

 

Several new military and civil signals will become available in the near future for GPS and other systems. This course provides a detailed examination of these signals with regards to structure, receiver processing and jamming performance. Also covered are some of the advanced signal processing techniques used in support of indoor and jamming-impaired operations including how these techniques perform with the new signals. Emphasis is on conveying concepts as opposed to detailed mathematical analysis.

Mr. Logan Scott
LS Consulting

1:30 - 5:00, Monday, String 3
310B: New Military and 
Civil Signals II 
Structure, Processing & Acquisition

Register for this tutorial  ~  Back to main tutorials page

 

Building on 310A, this course provides an examination of M-code performance and jamming issues, discusses the new L2, L5 and L1 civil GPS signals, and describes advanced acquisition techniques and their application to the new signals.

Mr. Scott

Anti-Jam Capabilities of the M-code, C/A,  and Y code Signals: A Comparative Analysis

• Signal structures and specifications
• Tracking loop performance
• Use of the “data free” channel to enhance threshold performance

 

Advanced Signal Acquisition Techniques
• Reducing BOC search complexity
• FFT & massive correlator approaches
• Direct P(Y) acquisition and M-code assisted acquisition
• Operation in indoor/impaired signal environments
• Summary. Q and A session.

 

Level: Assumes a knowledge of BOC modulation and tracking as provided in 310A or equivalent.
