Abstract

In this paper, we propose a three-stage unambiguous tracking scheme for CBOC signals. We evenly divide composite binary offset carrier (CBOC) signal, which was adopted in the Galileo system developed by the European Union (EU), by width of BOC(6,1) signal pulse, and then, generate 12 partial correlations. Then, we generate an unambiguous correlation function by recombining the partial correlations with two kinds of operation. The proposed correlation function is narrower and higher than the conventional correlation functions. From simulation result, it is shown that the proposed correlation function offers a better signal tracking performance over the conventional correlation functions.

본 논문에서는 CBOC 신호를 위한 3단계 비모호 추적 방식을 제안한다. 구체적로는 유럽 연합에서 개발 중인 Galileo 시스템에 채용된 합성 이진 옵셋 반송파 (composite binary offset carrier: CBOC) 신호의 부반송파를 BOC(6,1) 신호 펄스 폭으로 일정하게 나누어 재해석함으로써 12개의 부분 상관함수를 생성하고, 상기 부분상관함수들로부터 두 종류의 연산을 이용한 재조합 과정을 통해 비모호 상관함수를 생성한다. 제안한 상관함수는 기존 상관함수들에 비하여 더욱 첨예하고 높은 첨두를 갖는다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 상관함수가 기존 상관함수들에 비해 더욱 뛰어난 신호 추적 성능을 보인다.
