Abstract:
A high sensitivity GPS receiver includes an acquisition engine and a tracking engine. The acquisition engine processes GPS satellite data at data rate that is substantially equal to twice the coarse acquisition (CA) code chip rate. This data rate advantageously enables the acquisition engine to process GPS satellite data with relatively less hardware area than traditional GPS acquisition approaches. In one embodiment, the high efficiency acquisition engine may be over-clocked, thereby allowing different phases of a CA code to be correlated quickly. The tracking engine can advantageously process GPS satellite data at a data rate that does not have an integer relationship to the CA code chip rate.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may transmit a first calibration packet at a first power level. The wireless device may determine a power measurement corresponding to the first calibration packet based at least in part on feedback associated with a transmit power output of the first calibration packet. The wireless device may compare the power measurement corresponding to the first calibration packet to a target power level associated with the first power level. Additionally, the wireless device may adjust one or more gain parameters associated with the first power level based at least in part on the comparing.

Abstract:
A receiver for receiving both GPS signals and GLONASS signals is provided. This receiver includes an analog front end (AFE), a GPS digital front end (DFE) and a GLONASS DFE for receiving an output of the AFE, and a dual mode interface (DMI) for receiving outputs of the GPS and GLONASS DFEs. Search engines are provided for receiving outputs of the DMI. Notably, certain front-end components of the AFE are configured to process both the GPS signals and the GLONASS signals.
