    摘要: A rawinsonde system embodiment of the present invention includes a digital GPS snapshot buffer and a serial communications controller for transmitting message frames formed of a combination of digital GPS data from the snapshot buffer and digitized hardwired meteorological data input from a humidity-temperature-pressure instrument. The message frames are telemetered at a relatively low rate over a meteorological radio band to a ground station. Substantially all of the conventional GPS digital signal processing is performed by the ground station, including carrier recovery, PRN code locking, pseudo-range extraction, ephemeris data extraction, almanac collection, satellite selection, navigation solution calculation and differential corrections. Ground processing further includes Kalman filter wind velocity calculation.

    摘要: An iterative process for computing the trajectory of one object containing a transmitter relative to another object containing a plurality of receivers is disclosed. The process contains a subprocess which estimates the trajectory band from the Doppler shifts in the signals measured by the receivers. The process contains another subprocess where the received Doppler signals are filtered by filter adapted to select the Doppler signals which would have been produced by an object following the trajectory estimated by the first subprocess.

    摘要: In a signal transmission system for broadband signals wherein the transmitting transducer and/or the receiving transducer has a non-isotropic radiation characteristic, properties of the received broadband signal, for example waveform shape, spectrum, duration and probability density function, depend on the alignment orientation of the transducers. A discriminator circuit is provided in the receiver for identifying or estimating parameters related to one or more of such properties as a measure of alignment orientation of the transducers. The invention can be utilized, for example, in noise-suppressing radio frequency message transmission systems wherein band spreading modulation (spread-spectrum-system) results in transmission of a much greater bandwidth than a conventional transmission of the message baseband frequencies.

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

    摘要: A receiver accurately measures the Doppler shift of a radio signal from a transmitter having a known frequency and moving with respect to the receiver by using the signal from another transmitter of known frequency as a reference. The signals from the two transmitters are received by a single antenna, separated, and processed in separate channels. In a typical application using Global Positioning System satellite signals, each signal is discretely extracted by auto-correlation with its own pseudorandum noise signal, filtered, amplified, and applied to second mixers in phase locked loops in the respective channels. The two resulting second IF signals are applied to an output mixer whereupon the resulting difference output signal represents the difference in frequency between the two Doppler signals.

    摘要: A control circuit having a digital memory for providing sweep voltages to ceivers in a doppler satellite tracking station of proper amplitude and duration to ensure searching in the correct doppler frequency range. An internally generated ramp function voltage is combined with a reference voltage to produce a composite sweep signal for the receiver. The reference voltage level is determined either from a set of digi-switches or from a digital memory circuit which outputs a digital signal that is a function of the frequency of a received doppler signal.

    摘要: A doppler shift computer is disclosed wherein are inputted two separate input carrier frequencies, a high and low carrier frequency (RF) that have been transmitted from a moving transmitter. The receiver frequencies are separated by a signal divider and then the information frequencies are separated from the respective carrier frequencies. Due to the relative motion between the transmitter and the computer, the respective received carrier frequencies have shifted from the respective transmitted frequencies due to doppler effect, and also due to variations in the atmosphere resulting in undesirable frequency error. Therefore, each received carrier frequency includes these frequency components, the transmitted frequency plus or minus the doppler frequency, plus or minus the error frequency. The carrier frequency is known but the doppler and error frequencies are both unknown. In the simplified embodiment, to separate the doppler or the error frequencies therefrom, the received higher carrier frequency is mixed within a first mixer with the output frequency of an oscillator containing a reference frequency plus the higher carrier frequency so that the reference frequency is outputted therefrom. This output frequency from the first mixer is maintained equal to the reference by a phase comparative circuit whose voltage output controls the frequency outputted by a first voltage controlled oscillator at some fixed multiple of the reference frequency plus the higher carrier frequency. A first divider circuit divides the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator whereby its output is the reference frequency plus the higher carrier frequency that is inputted to the first mixer. The received lower carrier frequency in the other channel is mixed in a second mixer, also with the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator that has been divided by a second divider circuit by a divisor that makes the ratio of the divisors of both divider circuits equal to the ratio of the signal frequencies. This frequency outputted by the second mixer is maintained equal to a fixed fraction of the frequency outputted by a second voltage controlled oscillator. The frequency outputted by the second voltage controlled oscillator is mixed in a controlled manner with one of the frequencies controlling the first voltage controlled oscillator, thus removing the error component therefrom.
