Investigating the Amplitude and Phase Scintillations of New GPS Signals

Abstract

This is the final report for ONR grant N00014-07-1-0944 entitled, "Investigating the amplitude and phase scintillations of new GPS signals". During the period of performance, we developed two software receivers, one of which can track the new L2C signal transmitted by GPS block IIRM satellites. We also modeled the effects of scintillation on GPS signals and developed a GPS signal simulation of the fades for testing receivers.
