High Sensitivity I
Standard GPS receiver design:
• Architecture
• Front-end analysis
• dBm & dB.Hz
• Correlation, coherent integration & baseband gain
• SNR Worksheet

High Sensitivity II
High-sensitivity receiver design:
• Architecture
• Correlator size vs integration time
• Coherent integration
• I&Q channels and non-coherent integration
• Squaring loss
• Correlator size vs sensitivity
• High-sensitivity SNR Worksheet

Industry Standards & Future A-GNSS
Industry standards for Assisted GPS:
• CDMA – IS801
• GSM - RRLP
• UMTS - RRC
• OMA - SUPL
• MOPS for A-GPS handsets
Future A-GNSS:
• A-GPS friendly features in the current GPS system and future GNSS systems; pilot codes, and clock synchronization

Level: Knowledge gained in Course 710A is assumed in 710B; it is not recommended that you omit 710A, as the course is taught as a continuum.
