This paper introduces effective methods of decreasing multipath errors by utilizing strobe correlators designed for GPS coarse-acquisition (C/A) code for future modernized signals including the BOC (n,n) modulation used for GPS L1C, Galileo E1 and the GLONASS new CDMA signal. The implementation and performance of different types of strobes are compared and discussed. The strobe concept is espec...
