Background technology
At GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) (Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS) in the start-up course of receiver, primary positioning time (TTFF) is a key index, and this time generally comprises satellite signal acquisition time and satellite ephemeris download time.Wherein, satellite ephemeris has only after satellite signal acquisition and just can obtain.Catching of GNSS satellite-signal is a process of searching for from satellite PRN number, pseudo-code chip phase, three dimensions of Doppler frequency, for example, have for gps satellite PRN number 32, C/A pseudo-code chip phase have 2046 half chip positions, Doppler frequencies then cover-10kHz is to+10kHz, under situation without any prior imformation, the time of this three-dimensional search process cost is longer, greatly has influence on primary positioning time (TTFF).
The GNSS system is made up of space segment, Ground Control part and User Part.The space segment of GNSS is made up of GNSS work satellite, and these GNSS work satellites have been formed the gps satellite constellation jointly.Such as: gps satellite has 32 at present, is distributed in 6 orbital planes, and 5 to 6 satellites are arranged on each orbital plane.The inclination angle of the relative earth equatorial plane of satellite orbit face is about 55 degree, and the right ascension of each orbit plane ascending node differs 60 degree.The cycle of operation of satellite was about for 12 sidereal time.Every GPS work satellite all sends the signal that is used for navigator fix.GPS user utilizes these signals to carry out work just.
The carrier signal of one or more frequencies of GNSS satellites transmits is being modulated multiple pseudo-code signal and navigation message data respectively on these carrier waves.For example, these signals of GPS mainly contain: C/A sign indicating number, P (Y) sign indicating number, navigation data.Wherein the C/A sign indicating number is called thick catch code, and it is modulated on the L1 carrier wave, is the Pseudo-Random Noise Code (Gold sign indicating number) of 1MHz, and its code length is 1023 (cycle is 1ms).The C/A sign indicating number is that the user is in order to measure a kind of main signal of survey station to intersatellite distance.The signal frequency of navigation data is 50Hz, and the orbit parameter, the satellite clock that include gps satellite correct parameter and some other systematic parameter, and the user generally need utilize this navigation information to calculate the position of a certain moment gps satellite on Earth's orbit.
Because the GNSS satellite is at high-speed motion, exist between itself and the receiver to move radially, can produce Doppler effect.Therefore for the GNSS receiver of ground motion, satellite-signal arrives receiver and is converted to intermediate-freuqncy signal through after the down coversion, and the frequency of intermediate-freuqncy signal equals IF-FRE and adds Doppler frequency.For finishing the demodulation of a certain satellite navigation data, must search the numerical value of the Doppler frequency that is produced between this satellite and the receiver.
On the other hand, because the GNSS satellite-signal adopts CDMA (CDMA) technology mostly, adopt different pseudo-random code (being satellite PRN number) that the navigation data of different satellites is carried out band spectrum modulation.For receiving the navigation data of a certain satellite, just must reappear the pseudo-random code of this navigation data of modulation, the pseudo-code that reappears is carried out related calculation on the out of phase error with the input pseudo-code, make the two synchronous, thereby finish despreading navigation data.
Shorten the capture time of satellite-signal, can consider from two aspects, the one, improve acquisition speed, the 2nd, reduce capture range.
Current main employing improves the method for acquisition speed, shortens capture time by the correlator arithmetic capability that increases in the acquisition procedure that is:, such as: increase correlator number, FFT parallel capture etc.Wherein, increasing the correlator number is the most direct method, finishes related operation as much as possible in the identical time, thereby reduces the used time of acquisition procedure.And the FFT parallel capture is actually and utilizes the FFT computing to come equivalent related operation, and the quick computation performance by fft algorithm reduces computational complexity, once calculates all code phase correlations that can obtain under a certain frequency.
Except increasing arithmetic capability, the hunting zone that can also utilize prior imformation to shorten the three-dimensional search window, such as: the cold start-up of often mentioning, startup temperature, three kinds of Starting mode of warm start actual be exactly Starting mode at different hunting zones.Cold start-up is meant that without any the receiver start-up course under the situation of prior imformation, in this start-up course, the hunting zone of three-dimensional search window can't obtain any dwindling; Startup temperature is meant that receiver has obtained current Position Approximate and time when starting, and the roughly orbit parameter of satellite, in start-up course, receiver can roughly calculate current visible satellite set, thereby shortens the size of three-dimensional search window centre halfback asterisk search window; Warm start is meant that then receiver has obtained current location and time more accurately when starting, and the accurate orbit parameter of satellite, in this start-up course, receiver is except can calculating current visible satellite set, can also roughly provide the Doppler frequency deviation of satellite and the rough position of pseudo-code chip, thereby, can reduce capture time greatly defending the size that all shortens search window on asterisk, chip phase, three dimensions of Doppler frequency deviation.Simultaneously, owing to orbit parameter is accurately arranged, receiver can position clearing immediately after capturing 3~4 satellites during warm start, and does not need to wait for that finishing satellite ephemeris downloads, and this has further reduced the TTFF time.
But, improve the quantity of correlator or adopt the FFT parallel capture no matter be, these the two kinds methods that improve search speed all need to take a large amount of computational resources, this also means more hardware circuit, higher CPU operation clock, also can cause higher power consumption, bigger circuit area and the realization cost of Geng Gao simultaneously.
Existing cold start-up, startup temperature, warm start mode are then starting the selection Starting mode of the moment according to the current information machinery that has, and lack dynamic the adjustment in start-up course, and also perfect inadequately to the use of prior imformation.
