Acquisition Process
Correlation
Incoming signal Integrator ()2 result
Purpose of acquisition:
Find satellites (signals) visible to the receiver
Estimate coarse value for C/A code phase
Estimate coarse value for carrier frequency
Refine carrier search result if it is needed for the
chosen tracking (receiver) design
Acquisition in high sensitivity receivers might
also find bit boundaries
The search space can be reduced if the
receiver has some apriory knowledge about
visible GNSS signals
