Method and apparatus for acquiring and tracking a binary offset carrier signal (boc).

A method of tracking a carrier signal Binary Offset (BOC) with a receiver of satellite navigation, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a BOC signal; (B) generating an internal BOC replica signal; (C) generating an internal PRN replica signal of the spreading code of the BOC signal; (D) providing a discriminator for code delay by combining a BOC autocorrelation function and cross-correlation function BOC / PRN.
