摘要
载波跟踪环是传统独立式GPS接收机最脆弱的环节,针对弱信号环境下其比伪码跟踪环路更容易失锁的问题,本文给出一种基于矢量频率锁定环(vector-frequency lock loop,VFLL)的载波跟踪方法。给出VFLL理论推导及实现过程,并以最小二乘估计方法证明VFLL在载波跟踪性能上优于频率锁定环(frequency lock loop,FLL)。静止场景时9颗卫星实验结果显示,本文给出的方法能够实现14 d B/Hz微弱GPS信号的载波跟踪。
In a traditional stand-alone GPS receiver,the carrier-tracking loop is the weakest link that loses lock more easily than the code-tracking loop in a weak signal environment.To solve this problem,a carrier-frequency tracking method based on vector-frequency lock loop(VFLL) is presented.The details of theoretical derivation and implementation of VFLL are given,and the weighted least squares method proves that the tracking performance of VFLL is better than that of a frequency lock loop(FLL).In a static scene,the experimental results by utilizing 9 satellites show that VFLL can maintain lock with C/N_0 values as low as 14 dB/Hz.
