A Delay Measurement Algorithm of C/A Signal Transmission Channel for GPS Satellite

Abstract

Abstract: The delay measurement accuracy of the transmission channel directly affects GPS users’ positioning precision and time transfer accuracy of GPS. To measure delay of C/A (Coarse/Acquisition）signal transmission channel high accurately, a delay measurement algorithm based on DSP (Digital Signal Processing) was introduced. The C/A signal and the pulse of Z counter of time keeping system on GPS satellite are sampling in synchronization. After C/A signal data pre-processed, multi-rate digital processing is made to decide the start point of PRN (Pseudorandom noise) code of C/A signal. With the processing results of Z pulse signal data, the delay of C/A signal channel is calculated out. The measurement uncertainty with the proposed algorithm is less than 0.2 ns when the sampling frequency is 10 Gsa/s.

Key words: global positioning system （GPS）, satellite, coarse/acquisition signal, transmission channel, delay measurement
