Code Phase Multipath Mitigation by Exploiting the Frequency Diversity in Galileo E5 AltBOC
نویسنده
چکیده
In heavy multipath scenarios such as urban canyons, the user code phase pseudorange error due to multipath fading can be as high as two meters even for the most sophisticated ranging signals such as Galileo E5 Alternate Binary-Offset-Carrier AltBOC (15,10). In this paper the author introduces methods to mitigate the code phase multipath by exploiting the frequency diversity which is inherent to the AltBOC modulation used in Galileo E5 satellite navigation signals. A detailed analysis of the proposed method called SCPC (Sideband Carrier Phase Combination) is provided and its features are discussed. With the help of simulations and the signal collected from satellites, it is shown that the instantaneous code phase multipath error can be reduced to less than half a meter.

متن کاملNew Unambiguous Boc(n,n) Tracking Technique
Galileo and Modernized GPS have included in their signal structures a new signal modulation: the Binary Offset Carrier (BOC). In the navigation field, this modulation is characterized by the chipping rate of its spreading code (m×1.023 MHz) and the frequency of its square sub-carrier (n×1.023 MHz). As a consequence, it is usually referred to as a BOC(n,m) modulation. The choice of the parameter...
