摘要: An improved method of doppler searching in a digital GPS receiver is described. According to the principles present invention, an N-point fourier transform performed on samples down converted signal representing entire range Doppler-shifted carrier frequencies. The magnitude square each output calculated produce N power quantities, corresponding search quantities for frequencies are then summed proportional average power. maximum N-power indicates presence signal.
