Description

GNSS receiver and noise estimation method
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of satellite navigation technologies, and in particular, to a GNSS receiver and a noise estimation method.
Background
The global navigation satellite system (Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS) can provide high-precision positioning, navigation and timing services for users on the earth's surface and in the near-earth space, and is widely used in the fields of automobile steering, aerospace, communication, measurement and the like. Each satellite navigation system has a plurality of frequency points, and the satellite broadcasts satellite signals to the ground continuously and uninterruptedly all day long.
In the field of satellite navigation technology, GNSS receivers are an important component of GNSS technology, responsible for receiving signals from satellites and calculating the position and time of a user. After receiving signals sent by satellites, a GNSS receiver needs to acquire and track satellite signals. During tracking, the quality of the satellite signal is evaluated. Signal quality is typically measured in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is defined as the ratio between signal power Pr and noise power N, i.e., SNR = Pr/N. The signal-to-noise ratio SNR is typically expressed in decibels. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the better the quality of the received signal. The acquisition and tracking performance of a GNSS receiver on satellite signals has a direct correlation with the signal-to-noise ratio. A stable and reliable calculation of the signal-to-noise ratio of the individual channels is necessary for each receiver.
In order to realize noise estimation, a signal tracking channel and a noise estimation channel are allocated to each frequency point of a traditional GNSS receiver, and the ratio of the signal power calculated by the signal tracking channel to the noise power obtained by the noise estimation channel is used as the signal to noise ratio of the frequency point signal.
With the increase of navigation systems, the frequency and the signal type of satellite signals sent by each navigation system are continuously increased, and the number of noise estimation channels required by the GNSS receiver of the whole system with the full frequency point is also increased. This number becomes even greater if the dual antenna reception scheme is reused. This is a significant waste of resources and costs to the receiver, both in terms of software and hardware.

At step 1002, a noise estimation instruction is received.
According to one embodiment, the noise estimation module receives noise estimation instructions transmitted by the GNSS receiver processor at set time intervals.
In step 1003, the number of signals and the type of signals corresponding to the number and the type of digital baseband signals of the buffered data are acquired.

Meanwhile, the signals participating in calculation are derived from actual digital baseband signals, so that the accuracy of calculation is further improved. In addition, the GNSS receiver is used for setting the calculation frequency, so that the calculation frequency is flexible and controllable.
