    The document contains three exercises related to satellite navigation signal acquisition and tracking: 1) The first exercise evaluates the variance of noise at the output of correlators and the probability of miss-detection for a GPS signal receiver. 2) The second exercise determines detection thresholds and improvements from different acquisition schemes for GPS and Galileo signals. 3) The third exercise involves drawing the open-loop discrimination function for a GPS receiver tracking loop and evaluating the slope at the tracking point.

    Acquisition & Tracking

    Exercise 4.1 Acquisition performances

    A GPS signal is received by a commercial receiver with the following parameters:

    • C/N0 = 45 dBHz

    • Received power of -156 dBW at the output of the antenna

    • IF frequency fIF = 4 MHz

    • An IF filter that can be approximated as an ideal pass-band with a bandwidth


    B=2MHz and unitary amplitude; the filter cuts the 10% of the power of the signal

    • Serial acquisition scheme

    • Integration time Tint= 1 code period

    • Sampling frequency fs= 16 Msamples/s

    • No quantization

    01LPXBP – Satellite Navigation Systems

    Evaluate the variance of the noise at the output of the correlators, and the probability of
    miss-detection in case of a threshold Vt equal to 70% of the maximum of the correlation.
    (Note: suppose the noise after the sampler is still white)

    Exercise 4.2 Acquisition schemes

    For the acquisition stage of a given GNSS receiver, the following parameters are known:
    • Tint = 2 code periods
    • C/N0 = 45 dB-Hz
    • Front-end bandwidth: B = 4 MHz
    • Sampling frequency: fS = 16 MHz

    Determine, in case of both GPS C/A and Galileo E1 (hyp: dataless) signals:

    1. the detection threshold to be applied in case of a serial search in order to obtain a


    false alarm probability pfa =10-3
    2. the improvement in terms of detection/false-alarm probabilities obtained with a
    “M/N” statistical algorithm with M = 3 and N = 5
    3. the frequency bin width given by the “empirical” rule, in case of serial-search
    correlation scheme
    4. the frequency bin width in case of the frequency-domain parallel correlation
    scheme.

    Exercise 4.3 Tracking: Coherent E-L discriminator

    Consider a GPS receiver with a narrow correlator architecture with spacing d = 0.5.
    Draw the open-loop discrimination function (S-curve) supposing to have non-selective
    filters within the front-end (infinite pre-correlation bandwidth).
    Evaluate the slope of the S-curve in the tracking point.
