Abstract

This paper proposes a tracking algorithm for receiving satellite signal. Tracking algorithm uses the angular velocity of vehicle and the slope of received satellite signal for searching the maximum level of signal. The tracking algorithm is composed of two parts. One is the routine to maintain the acceptable signal in spite of the variation of angular velocity. The other is the fine tuning routine to search the maximum signal level by giving the weight factors to the slope of signal. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient and stable.
