Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Optimal Incoherent Subcarrier Tracking of BOC(1,1) Navigation SignalsAlexandr Ivanovich PerovNavigation receivers of global positioning systems that are operated in complex electromagnetic environment must have an increased noise immunity characteristic. One way of such noise immunity rising is to use incoherent operating mode of navigation receiver. There are known processing algorithms for navigation signals with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation. But in the near-term outlook Global Navigation Satellite Systems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 26 Sep 2016 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
