Abstract
The application of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is extensive and has widely infiltrated the national economy and social development in various fields. As critical part of the satellite navigation system design process, GNSS signals performance assessment has received tremendous attention for a long period of time. The mathematical model of GNSS signal detection is built based on single point detection test. An improved acquisition performance assessment method that considers the modulation type, code search step-size, and acquisition algorithms is proposed herein. This study investigates the performance of the overall detection and main/side peak detection for Binary Offset Carrier (BOC), Multiplexed Binary Offset Carrier (MBOC), and Alternative BOC (AltBOC) signals using matched and unambiguous acquisition methods, and obtains quantitative results. With a fixed code search step-size, the multi-peaks of the autocorrelation functions of BOC, MBOC, and AltBOC signals will degrade the acquisition performance. The higher the sub-carrier rate, the more serious is the degradation. Although signal-power loss occurs to some extent, Binary Phase-Shift Keying-like (BPSK-like) and Sub Carrier Phase Cancelation (SCPC) methods significantly improve the acquisition performance.
