Code and frequency estimation in Galileo mass market receivers

Mass market receivers feature particular signal processing techniques, to comply with mobile and consumer devices resources and requirements. Delay and frequency estimation algorithms have then been redefined or adapted, in particular to cope with the new Galileo OS signals. The scope of the work is the analysis, development and performance examination of some of the main GNSS acquisition and tracking algorithms currently used in mass market receivers. The feasibility of such techniques is proved by means of semi-analytical and Monte Carlo simulations, outlining the estimators sensitivity and accuracy, and by tests on real Galileo IOV signals.
