ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for pseudo-random noise (PN) code correlation in a GPS receiver employing sign and magnitude input weighting for each of the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) samples of a received PN-code modulated carrier. A programmable R factor provides input A/D sample sign and magnitude weighting control of outside crossing samples for interference rejection of other RF signals interfering with the received PN-code modulated RF carrier. The R factor weighting determines if the A/D samples are from a linear or adaptive A/D converter. In-phase reference (IREF) signals and quadrature-phase reference (QREF) signals, produced by an internally generated PN-code reference, are provided to a plurality of I and Q multi-Y-tap correlator/integrators for correlation with the I and Q samples. The apparatus correlates I and Q samples obtained from IF sampling or baseband sampling of the received PN-code modulated carrier.
