Abstract

In this paper, we design a local signal to improve a tracking performance of time-multiplexed binary offset carrier (TMBOC) signal, which was adopted in modernized global positioning systems (GPS). Specifically, considering that TMBOC signal includes BOC(6,1) components, we first obtain local signal by evenly dividing sub-carrier of TMBOC(6,1,4/33) by the period of a BOC(6,1) pulse. Finally, we remove side-peaks of TMBOC(6,1,4.33) autocorrelation via combination of partial correlations given from designed local signal and solve the ambiguity problem. From numerical results, when performing signal tracking using the designed local signal, we demonstrate that the improved tracking error standard deviation (TESD) performance is offered as compared its autocorrelation and the conventional correlation functions.

본 논문에서는 차세대 GPS 시스템에 채용된 시간 복합 이진 옵셋 반송파의 (time-multiplexed binary offset carrier: TMBOC) 신호 추적 성능을 향상시키기 위한 국소 신호를 설계한다. 구체적으로 TMBOC 변조는 BOC(6,1) 신호 성분을 포함하고 있다는 점으로부터 착안하여, TMBOC(6,1,4/33) 신호의 부반송파를 BOC(6,1) 부 반송파 펄스 주기로 일정하게 나누는 방식으로 국소 신호를 설계한다. 이후, 설계한 국소 신호를 통해 얻은 부분 상관함수들을 재조합하여 TMBOC(6,1,4/33) 신호의 자기상관함수에 존재하는 주변 첨두를 제거함으로써 모호성 문제를 해결한다. 모의실험을 통해 설계한 국소 신호를 이용하여 신호 추적을 수행할 경우, 자기상관함수 및 기존의 기법을 이용하는 경우에 비해 향상된 추적 오류 표준편차 (tracking error standard deviation: TESD) 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.
