GPS Civil Signal Self-Interference Mitigation During Weak Signal Acquisition

Abstract

Current global positioning system receivers can acquire weak satellite signals with if there is C/N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">O</sub> = 15 dB/Hz if there is no self-interference from other strong satellite signals. This correspondence presents a computational efficient partitioned subspace projection method to mitigate the self-interference. The method is evaluated using simulated signals and a block-based weak signal acquisition algorithm.
