ABSTRACT:
A GPS positioning method to obtain pseudorange between a receiver terminal and a satellite by capturing a portion of received satellite signals of a predetermined time duration. A predetermined number of first input signals, equivalent to 1-bit of navigation data, are obtained with various delays in the starting point of processing. The first input signals are synchronously summed up to obtain second input signals. A PN code replica (pseudopattern) prepared by the receiver terminal operates on the second input signals to detect the polarity of the navigation bits and correct the polarity of the bits so that the bit polarity of the second input signals are always positive. Synchronous summation is conducted on the resulting signals, which have been derived from the complete captured signal, and a correlation calculation is conducted on the obtained synchronously summed signal using a replica PN code prepared by the receiver terminal, the signal delay value is detected and pseudorange is obtained using the result of the correlation calculation.
