    Abstract: The present invention is related to location positioning systems, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for making accuracy improvements to a GPS receiver's navigation calculations. According to a first aspect, the invention includes extreme sensitivity GNSS tracking loops. In embodiments, the tracking loops are self-bandwidth normalizing and the loop bandwidths automatically narrow with reduced CNO.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided for computing link supportability in a WCDMA communications system. For example, the method can be used to calculate link supportability of a transponder in satellite communications system (e.g. MUOS) in a user-to-base direction. This method can include expressing a carrier signal to noise ratio spectral density for a communication link of interest in terms of a transponder input power of the communication link of interest, a spectral overlap factor representative of one or more interfering communication links, and a transponder input power of the one or more interfering communication links. Assumptions and approximations can be made to simplify the spectral density expression in order to reduce a dimensionality of terms used in the computation of the expression. As such, in reducing dimensionality, the expression becomes a manageable computation for WCDMA communication systems to evaluate.

    Abstract: An acquisition unit of a GNSS receiver base band circuit includes an integrator with a number of preprocessors where an incoming digital signal is mixed with different frequency signals to compensate at least in part for clock drift and Doppler shifts. The resulting digital signals are, after an accumulation step reducing sample frequency, integrated over an integration period extending over several basic intervals of the length of a basic sequence characteristic for a GNSS satellite, so that samples separated by a multiple of the basic interval are superposed. The resulting data sequence of 1,023 digital values is stored in one of two memories and then, in mixers, sequentially shifted by post-integration frequencies which are multiples of the inverse of the length of the basic interval. The pre-integration frequencies employed in the preprocessors deviate, with one possible exception, from the post-integration frequencies and are usually smaller.

    Abstract: Memory reallocation and sharing among components of an electronic system is provided. The electronic system includes a first memory area coupled for access by a first processor via a first bus, and a second memory area coupled for access by a second processor via a second bus. An example system includes a central processor as the first processor and a digital signal processor as the second processor. The electronic system further includes memory configurations that support shared access of the second memory area by the first processor. Using shared access, the first processor can directly access the second memory via the first bus or indirectly access the second memory via the second bus and the second processor. The memory sharing also includes partitioning the shared memory to simultaneously provide the first processor with direct and indirect access to the shared memory.
