Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is a newly emerged modulation scheme which provides a generalized framework unifying conventional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier frequency domain equalization. In this letter, a space-frequency block coding (SFBC) scheme based on OSDM is proposed for time-varying underwater acoustic channels. The receiver proce...

The objective of this paper is to assess and compare the capability of P code and high performance C/A code receiver technologies for survey launch positioning at sea water to the sub-metre level. The receivers used to assess these technologies are the dual frequency Ashtech P-XII and the single frequency NovAtel GPSCardrM. Sea trials were conducted at velocities of 10 to 15 knots using both re...

Since the development of space based geodesic techniques, the increasing of the positioning accuracy has been a major goal. In this context, the effect of the ionosphere has been a key issue to be taken into account to improve the navigation results obtained using several types of receivers: from dual frequency phase receivers at distances greater than tens of kilometres of the nearest fixed si...

We address the synchronization problem in an uplink multiuser filter bank system. The system differs from orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) since it deploys subchannel frequency confined pulses. User multiplexing is still accomplished by partitioning the tones among the active users. Users are asynchronous such that the received signals experience independent time offsets, c...

In this paper, a frequency domain adaptive antenna array (FDAAA) algorithm is proposed for broadband single-carrier uplink transmissions in a cellular system. By employing AAA weight control in the frequency domain, the FDAAA receiver is able to suppress the multi-user interference (MUI) and the co-channel interference (CCI). In addition, the channel frequency selectivity can be exploited to su...

This paper develops a new automated cycle slip detection and repair method that is based on only one single dual-frequency GPS receiver. This method jointly uses the ionospheric total electron contents (TEC) rate (TECR) and Melbourne–Wübbena wide lane (MWWL) linear combination to uniquely determine the cycle slip on both L1 and L2 frequencies. The cycle slips are inferred from the information o...

A differential global positioning system (DGPS) is one of the most widely used augmentation systems for a low-cost L1 (1575.42 MHz) single-frequency GPS receiver. The positioning accuracy of a low-cost GPS receiver decreases because of the spatial decorrelation between the reference station (RS) of the DGPS and the users. Hence, a network real-time kinematic (RTK) solution is used to reduce the...

Resolution of carrier phase ambiguities on the fly (OTF) using a pair (monitor/remote) of single frequency receivers is difficult to achieve reliably in an operational environment due to the unfavorable ratio between carrier phase noise and multipath on the one hand, and the 19 cm wavelength of the Ll carrier on the other hand. The use of the 86 cm wavelength widelane carrier is much more effec...

This paper demonstrates a GPS receiver research platform. It can generate digital Immediate Frequency (IF) GPS signal and some signal synchronize functions on high dynamic and weak signal environment. It is based on a mathematical signal model which expresses the digitized IF GPS signal as a function of various errors during propagation. The simulator is able to simulate more than 12 GPS satell...
