Multipath Mitigation Technique Based on Partial Autocorrelation Function

GPS positioning accuracy in indoor and urban canyons environments is greatly affected by multipaths due to distortions in its autocorrelation function. In this paper, the first sidelobe of Pseudorandom Noise (PN) code autocorrelation is studied and a new multipath mitigation technique based on PN code autocorrelation function is presented. This new technique relies on the detection of the partial autocorrelation function that is affected by multipath signals. The increase in fractional delay of the line-of-sight (LOS) signal is calculated. Simulation results indicate that the proposed technique has superior performance compared with the 0.1-chip-spacing narrow correlator on mitigating multipath signals, especially the short-delay multipath signals.
