Abstract

The acquisition of GNSS signal is the most challenging part of any GNSS receiver. With the modernized GNSS system having longer code length and wider bandwidth, the size of the data block becomes large. To reduce the computational load of the processor, the reduction in the size of the data block without compromise in the acquisition loop performance provides overall improvement to the system. Here, a model is developed for acquisition of GPS signal L1 and L2C by compressing the input raw GPS signal with sequences of perfect periodic autocorrelation properties such as the Ipatov sequence. A compression matrix of the required dimension is constructed for compressing the input GPS signal. The improvement in the acquisition performance of the model is discussed.
