1 - Starting point.¶

a - Receiver scheme and milestones.¶

.......

b - Quid about LabVIEW.¶

.......

Input : GPS signal of sampling frequency 38.192 MHz at intermediate frequency 9.55 MHz from CD [1] under GNSS_signal_records/GPSdata-DiscreteComponents-fs38_192-if9_55.bin

c - Local C/A code generation.¶

Generation : CA_code.vi with subVI CA_generatorG1.vi CA_generatorG2.vi

2 - Acquisition.¶

Justification acquisition method in terms of accuracy and time execution
Justification of the step of 500Hz
Methods to avoid the data bit transition while running acquisition
Frequency refine is needed for the PLL of the tracking to converge
Definition of the threshold and how it is implemented
