Effects of Phase Jitter on the Navigation Signal Simulator

As the measuring equipment of the navigation receivers, high precision pseudorange signal is generated by navigation signal simulator. Pseudorange error is mainly from modeling error in high dynamic scenarios, but it is mainly from phase quantization error of digital implementation process in high precision scenarios of evaluating receiver’s pseudorange accuracy. Is this paper, according to the implementation principle of carrier and code DDS, the causes of the phase quantization error is analyzed and the pseudorange error formula is derived and the simulation results are given. Analysis and simulation results show that phase critter originated by carry phase truncation effects measurement result of zero value and cannot be ignored. The conclusion can guide the design of navigation signal simulator.
