Download or read book Subsampling GPS Receiver Front end written by Carsten Barth and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in RFIC design has recently shifted towards direct conversion and subsampling architectures as an alternative to the conventional super-heterodyne architectures. Bandpass sampling architectures, also called subsampling architectures, exhibit several advantages over super-heterodyne architectures, notably, the complexity of subsampling architectures is significantly lower since no phase-locked loop is required. A direct consequence is that downconversion from RF to IF can be achieved with significant power savings as compared to the super-heterodyne architecture. Another significant benefit of such architectures is the capability for processing multiple signals in parallel. The ability to simultaneously handle multiple carriers makes subsampling architectures particularly well suited for GNSS applications, as downconversion of multiple frequency bands is required in GNSS environments. With the advent of the new civilian GPS signals, L2C and L5, and the onset of the new Galileo signal, a receiver that can process multiple signals without adding complexity, is highly desired. An integrated proof-of-concept subsampling GPS receiver front-end in 130 nm BiCMOS is presented in this dissertation. The receiver achieves a noise figure of less than 3.8 dB, the lowest ever recorded noise figure of a subsampling based receiver.

This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on my doctoral thesis at the Helsinki University of Technology. Several different projects during five years guided me from the basics of the RF IC design to the implementations of highly integrated radio receiver chips. Sharing time and effort between IC and system issues is not always straightforward. I have been lucky to follow both topics and share experiences with diligent and enthusiastic people having different specialities. As a result, this book will cover a wide range of different topics needed in the design of highly integrated radio receivers. Experiences from the first receiver prototypes for the third generation cellular systems form the basis of this book. Most of the issues are directly related to the early proposals of European and Japanese standardization organizations. For example, the chip rate was originally set to 4. 096 Mcps in a wide-band CDMA channel. I have kept that number in the book in most of the examples although it has been later changed to 3. 84 Mcps. I hope that the readers will accept that and the possible other incompabilities to the latest specifications. At least in the research phase the changes even in the most essential requirements are definitely not a rare incident and IC designers should be able to react and modify their designs as soon as they can.

Download or read book Broadband Direct RF Digitization Receivers written by Olivier Jamin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the trade-offs involved in designing direct RF digitization receivers for the radio frequency and digital signal processing domains. A system-level framework is developed, quantifying the relevant impairments of the signal processing chain, through a comprehensive system-level analysis. Special focus is given to noise analysis (thermal noise, quantization noise, saturation noise, signal-dependent noise), broadband non-linear distortion analysis, including the impact of the sampling strategy (low-pass, band-pass), analysis of time-interleaved ADC channel mismatches, sampling clock purity and digital channel selection. The system-level framework described is applied to the design of a cable multi-channel RF direct digitization receiver. An optimum RF signal conditioning, and some algorithms (automatic gain control loop, RF front-end amplitude equalization control loop) are used to relax the requirements of a 2.7GHz 11-bit ADC. A two-chip implementation is presented, using BiCMOS and 65nm CMOS processes, together with the block and system-level measurement results. Readers will benefit from the techniques presented, which are highly competitive, both in terms of cost and RF performance, while drastically reducing power consumption.
Download or read book A Dual Frequency RF Front End for Long Antenna GPS Receiver Links written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Global Positioning System (GPS) is best known for its positioning applications, another way to use GPS is as a time reference for telecommunication networks synchronization. However, as every new communication standard is more demanding, the precision of the current single-frequency GPS based network synchronization solutions is about not to be sufficient anymore. The dominant source of error in current state-of-the-art receivers based on the L1 C/A code is due to the variations of the propagation delay through the ionosphere. Fortunately, a new GPS civilian signal, L2CS, is about to be released. Combined with the existing L1 signal, it will allow to cancel most of the ionosphere induced error and therefore offer better timing signals as compared to classical GPS receivers. In this paper, a dual-frequency front-end for long antenna-GPS receiver links is presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Heinz Gerhäuser on the occasion of his retirement both from the position of Executive Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and from the Endowed Chair of Information Technologies with a Focus on Communication Electronics (LIKE) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Heinz Gerhäuser's vision and entrepreneurial spirit have made the Fraunhofer IIS one of the most successful and renowned German research institutions. He has been Director of the Fraunhofer IIS since 1993, and under his leadership it has grown to become the largest of Germany's 60 Fraunhofer Institutes, a position it retains to this day, currently employing over 730 staff. Likely his most important scientific as well as application-related contribution was his pivotal role in the development of the mp3 format, which would later become a worldwide success. The contributions to this Festschrift were written by both Fraunhofer IIS staff and external project team members in appreciation of Prof. Dr. Gerhäuser's lifetime academic achievements and his inspiring leadership at the Fraunhofer IIS. The papers reflect the broad spectrum of the institute's research activities and are grouped into sections on circuits, information systems, visual computing, and audio and multimedia. They provide academic and industrial researchers in fields like signal processing, sensor networks, microelectronics, and integrated circuits with an up-to-date overview of research results that have a huge potential for cutting-edge industrial applications.

Download or read book How to Design GPS GNSS Receivers written by Lawal A B and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book I provide in-depth technical descriptions of each emerging satellite navigation system: BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC. Dedicated chapters cover each system's constellation configuration, satellites, ground control system and user equipment. Detailed satellite signal characteristics are also provided Recently, I've heard from many engineers that they learned how GPS receivers work from this title. In this title, the design is included, and treatment of receivers is updated and expanded in several important ways. New material has been added on important receiver components, such as antennas and front-end electronics. The increased complexity of multiconstellation, multifrequency receivers, which are rapidly becoming the norm today, is addressed in detail. Other added features of this title are the clear step-by-step design process and associated trades required to develop a GNSS receiver, depending on the specific receiver application. This subject will be of great value to those readers who need to understand these concepts, either for their own design tasks or to aid their satellite navigation system engineering knowledge. To round out the discussion of receivers, updated treatments of interference, ionospheric scintillation, and multipath are provided along with new material on blockage from foliage, terrain, and man-made structures. Now there has been major developments in GNSS augmentations, including differential GNSS (DGNSS) systems, Precise Point Positioning (PPP) techniques, and the use of external sensors/networks. The numerous deployed or planned satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) networks are detailed, including WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN, and SDCM, as are groundbased differential systems used for various applications. The use of PPP techniques has greatly increased in recent years, and the treatment in this title has been expanded accordingly. Material addressing integration of GNSS with other sensors has been thoroughly revamped, as has the treatment of network assistance as needed to reflect the evolution from 2G/3G to 4G cellular systems that now rely on multiconstellation GNSS receiver engines. While this title has generally been written for the engineering/scientific community, one of the series is devoted to GNSS markets and applications. Marketing projections (and the challenge thereof) are enumerated and discussion of the major applications is provided. As in the other series, this book is structured such that a reader with a general science background can learn the basics of GNSS. The reader with a stronger engineering/scientific background will be able to delve deeper and benefit from the more in-depth technical material. It is this ramp-up of mathematical/technical complexity along with the treatment of key topics that enables this publication to serve as a student text as well as a reference source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes plans and progress made on the MMGR program funded jointly by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) GPS Joint Program Office (JPO) and industry that started in April 2003. The AFRL Dual Use Science and Technology (DUS & T) MMGR objective of meeting pervasive defense system requirements and civilian needs for ultra-small GPS receiver technology is dependent in part upon the creation of multi- L-band reconfigurable receiver integrated circuitry that supports Coarse Acquisition (C/A), Precision Encrypted [P(Y)], and Military (M)-code operation. The creation of this military/civilian circuitry with reduced cost and improved speed-power-weight capabilities is enabled through adaptation of commercial and radiation tolerant design and manufacturing abilities that leverage synergies across proven, legacy GPS receiver architectures. The Honeywell contribution to the program includes demonstration of the feasibility of applying bulk or silicon on insulator (SOI) 1.8V Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology to create a working radio frequency (RF) analog front end for miniature GPS receivers. This shows a path to a single chip GPS receiver via combined RF analog and advanced sub-micron ultra large scale integrated digital circuits.
