  Abstract

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is using a direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) modulation. In order to recover the information data, the DS/SS system first performs a two-step synchronization process: acquisition and tracking. The acquisition process adjusts the phase difference between the received and locally generated acquisition sequences within ± Tc/2 or less, where Tc is the chip period. The tracking process performs fine synchronization. In this paper, we focus on the tracking issue. The single delta delay locked loop (Δ-DLL) is the optimal tracking scheme for a GNSS in the absence of multipath signals, where Δ means the spacing between the early and late correlation time offset. In the multipath environments, however, the Δ-DLL suffers from huge estimation bias (denoted by β) caused by distorted correlation values. Although some modified schemes such as a Δ-DLL with a narrow Δ and a double delta DLL (Δ(2)-DLL) were proposed to reduce the estimation bias, they cannot remove the estimation bias completely and need more accurate acquisition process. This paper proposes a novel tracking scheme that can dramatically reduce the estimation bias, using the maximum slope change among the correlation outputs.
