The Effect of Intermittent Signal on the Performance of Code Tracking Loop in GNSS Receivers

This paper analyzes the code tracking performance in the presence of signal blanking in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The blanking effect is usually caused by buildings that obscure the signal in either a periodic or random manner. In some cases, ideal blanking is used to remove random...

description This paper analyzes the code tracking performance in the presence of signal blanking in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The blanking effect is usually caused by buildings that obscure the signal in either a periodic or random manner. In some cases, ideal blanking is used to remove random or periodic interference. Nevertheless, the effect of temporary discontinuity of signal often leads to the tracking and position error. To analyze this problem, three types of blanking model are considered: no blanking, periodic blanking, and random blanking of the signals input into the code tracking loop. The mean time to lose lock (MTLL) is to assess the performance of code tracking system under signal blanking. Finally, the effect of steady-state tracking errors on the performance of tracking loop resulting from blanking environment is also discussed.
