Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for processing a signal having a plurality of codes. The method includes receiving the signal at a receiver and removing a carrier signal from the signal. The method further includes isolating a data stream from the carrier signal and determining timing of the plurality of codes. The plurality of codes is filtered to separate from the plurality of codes in the data stream a particular code for each plurality of codes that correlates to the received signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for processing a non-coherent signal modulated by a plurality of codes, said method comprising: receiving the non-coherent signal at a receiver, wherein the non-coherent signal includes a global positioning system (GPS) signal; determining a timing of transitions between symbol states of the non-coherent signal using a numerical analysis of second difference of the non-coherent signal; identifying the symbol states based on a constellation chart…
