Acquisition is to detect the presence of the GPS signal. Once the signal is detected, the estimated frequency and code phase are passed to a tracking loop to demodulate the navigation data. In order to detect the weak signal, multiple length of data integration is always needed. In this paper, we present five different acquisition approaches based on circular correlation and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), using coherent as well as non-coherent integration techniques for the multiple length of collected GPS satellite signal. Moreover a general approach of determining the acquisition threshold is introduced based on noise distribution which has been proved effective, and independent of the hardware. In the end of this paper, the processing speed and acquisition gain of each method are illustrated, compared, and analyzed. The results show that coherent approach is much more time consuming compared to noncoherent approaches, and in the case of multiple length of data integration from 2ms to 8ms, the processing times consumed by the fastest non-coherent acquisition method are only 25.87% to 1.52% in a single search, and 34.76% to 1.06% in a global search of those in the coherent acquisition. However, coherent acquisition also demonstrates its better performance in the acquisition gain, and in the case of 8ms of data integration it is 4.23 to 4.41 dB higher than that in the non-coherent approaches. Finally, an applicable scheme of combining coherent and non-coherent acquisition approaches in the development of a real-time Software GPS receiver in the University of Tokyo is provided.

The applications of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are becoming wider in various commercial and military systems including even small weapon systems such as artillery shells. The precision-guided munitions such as Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) of United States can be used for pinpoint strike by acquiring and tracking GNSS signals in high mobility situation. In this paper, a small GNSS receiver with embedded interference suppression capability working under high dynamic stress is developed which is applicable to the various weapon systems and can be used in other several harsh environments. It applies a kind of matched filter and multiple correlator schemes for fast signal acquisition and tracking of even weak signals and frequency domain signal processing method to eliminate the narrowband interference. To evaluate the performance of the developed GNSS receiver, the test scenario of high mobility and interference environment with the GNSS simulator and signal generator is devised. Then, the signal acquisition time, navigation accuracy, sensitivity, and interference suppression performances under high dynamic operation are evaluated. And the comparison test with the commercial GNSS receiver which has high sensitivity is made under the same test condition.

Single pixel imaging technology has developed for years, however the video acquisition on the single pixel camera is not a well-studied problem in computer vision. This work proposes a new scheme for single pixel camera to acquire video data and a new regularization for robust signal recovery algorithm. The method establishes a single pixel video compressive sensing scheme to reconstruct the video clips in spatial domain by recovering the difference of the consecutive frames. Different from traditional data acquisition method works in transform domain, the proposed scheme reconstructs the video frames directly in spatial domain. At the same time, a new regularization called spatial cluster is introduced to improve the performance of signal reconstruction. The regularization derives from the observation that the nonzero coefficients often tend to be clustered in the difference of the consecutive video frames. We implement an experiment platform to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Numerous experiments show the well performance of video acquisition and frame reconstruction on single pixel camera.

EU's Galileo project is a market-based GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) that is under development. It is expected that Galileo will provide the positioning services based on new technologies in 2020s. Because Galileo E1 signal for OS (Open Service) shares the same center frequency with GPS L1 C/A signal, CBOC (Composite Binary Offset Carrier) modulation scheme is used in the E1 signal to guarantee interoperability between two systems. With E1 signal consisting of a data channel and a pilot channel at the same frequency band, there exist several options in designing signal acquisition for Assisted-Galileo receivers. Furthermore, compared to SNR worksheet of Assisted-GPS, some factors should be examined in Assisted-Galileo due to different correlation profile and code length of E1 signal. This paper presents SNR worksheets of Galileo E1 signals in E1-B and E1-C channel. Three implementation losses that are quite different from GPS are mainly analyzed in establishing SNR worksheets. In the worksheet, hybrid long integration of 1.5s is considered to acquire weak signal less than -150dBm. Simulation results show that the final SNR of E1-B signal with -150dBm is 19.4dB and that of E1-C signal is 25.2dB. Comparison of relative computation shows that E1-B channel is more profitable to acquire the strongest signal in weak signal environment. With information from the first satellite signal acquisition, fast acquisition of the weak signal around -155dBm can be performed with E1-C signal in the subsequent satellites.

In this paper, we propose a fast code acquisition method that can reduce drastically the mean acquisition time of the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) system by using and integrated search and verification (ISV) scheme. The proposed method performs simultaneously the search and verification processes at every search cell, through storing sufficiently long signal samples enough to perform the verification process form the previously received samples. We analyze and acquisition performance in the case of Gaussian channel to evaluate theacquisition perfomrance of the proposed method. From the simple numericl analysis result, we have shown that the acquisition performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional serial search method, and the performance improvement becomes more prominent as the channel environment becomes degraded.

A heart diagnosis system adopts Superconducting Quantum Interface Device(SQUID) sensors for precision MCG signal acquisitions. Such system is composed of hundreds of sensors, requiring fast signal sampling and precise analog-digital conversions(ADC). Our development of hardware board, processing 64-channel 12-bit 1ks/s, is built by using 8-channel ADC chips, 8-bit microprocessors, SPI interfaces, and parallel data transfers between microprocessors to meet the 1ks/s, i.e. 1 ms speed. The test result shows that the signal acquisition is done in 168 usuc which is much shorter than the required 1 ms period. This hardware will be extended to 256 channel data acquisition to be used for the diagnosis system.

In this paper, we focus our attention on the improvement of locking time and jitter parameter and propose the new structure of PLL which combined with the FVC, FOVI Matcher(FVC-Output and VCO-input Matching Circuit), Control Circuit and the conventional charge pump PLL. Using fast operation characteristics of the FVC, the circuit matching FVC-Output and VCO-input (FOVI Matcher) made to synchronize very fast. Fast locking time is usually required for application where the PLL has to settle rapidly if they switch from an idle mode to a normal mode and to track high-frequency data bit rate in data recovery systems. After a fast acqusition is achieved by the using the FVC, the conventional PLL operates for removing the phase error between the reference signal and the feedback signal. Therefore this structure can improve the trade-off between acquisition behavior and locked behavior.

A 2-dimensional search process in the time and frequency domain is required to acquire the GPS signal, when the code phase and the carrier Doppler for the specified GPS satellite signal are unknown. This paper proposes a new scheme, called Squared-D Searching Method, which can reduce the number of carrier frequency candidates, and a new scheme, named extended Multiple Correlator(XMC), which can reduce the number of code phase candidates. The Squared-D Searching Method can take the twice of Doppler frequency, therefore it can find carrier frequency candidates. The XMC is different from the general multiple correlator in that a combined form of the locally generated codes is used for despreading. Also, this paper tries to analyze a signal detection probability of a GPS receiver under more realistic environments. The result shows that lower detection probability can be obtained when the phase differences among the codes are larger in the correlation arms of a multiple correlator. This phenomenon is not easy to explain with the previous results. And besides, the result shows that proposed acquisition schemes give better performance than a conventional acquisition scheme.

In this paper, a fast pseudo-noise (PN) code acquisition with novel adaptive architecture is presented in direct-sequence spread- spectrum (DS-SS) systems. Since an existing acquisition system has a fixed correlation tap size and threshold value, this system cannot adapt to various mobile communication environments and results in a low detection probability or a high false alarm rate and long acquisition time. Therefore, if a correlation tap size and a threshold value can be controlled adaptively according to received signals, problems of ail existing system will be solved. The system parameter varies adaptively by using constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm well known in a field of detection and proposed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurement system. By deriving formulas of the proposed system, the performance is analyzed.
