Abstract

This paper concerns to the acquisition of Global Positioning System L1 C/A coded signals. It specifically addresses the issues of acquiring very low power signals which are attenuated due to special circumstances such as indoor environment or forest canopy etc. The proposed post-processing algorithm applies modified signal folding coherent integration scheme on weak signal record. It dynamically compensates the doppler effect on the length of C/A code before integrating the signal power. Experimental results show effectiveness of the algorithm on weak GPS signals recorded in a real environment.
