Abstract

A vector DLL represents signal tracking scheme utilizing navigation results, and it has been known that it has better performance than a conventional scalar DLL. This paper discusses the structure and conceptual benefits of the vector DLL, and describes implementation of the vector DLL in a software GPS receive. Also, the benefits of the vector DLL are confirmed by an experiment. Through the experiment, the code tracking accuracy between the vector DLL and a scalar DLL implementation is compared in static environments, and the navigation accuracy is analyzed using GPS signals received from a commercial GPS simulator.
