Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of satellite navigation and tracking, in particular to a combined frequency discrimination and tracking loop of a frequency-locked loop and a subcarrier loop for BOC modulation signals. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of satellite navigation technology, the satellite navigation systems of various countries have made great progress. Advances in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are first and foremost advances in GPS modernization. On the basis of the existing satellite signals, the new generation of GPS satellite signals has been improved in many aspects such as modulation mechanism, pseudo code sequence form and carrier frequency band. Binary Offset Carrier Modulation (BOC) is a modulation method commonly used in future military GPS signals. The unique power spectrum splitting characteristic of the BOC modulation method can achieve frequency band sharing and spectr...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In 2010, Beihang University applied for a patent called a binary offset carrier signal tracking loop, which introduced a subcarrier tracking loop to eliminate the problem of BOC signal ambiguity. However, the two-quadrant arctangent phase detector used in it does not consider the influence of noise on the phase detection error

If the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the phase detection error will be submerged in the noise, which will bring high ambiguity to the phase detection result
