Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for mitigating multipath interference in a spread spectrum ranging/positioning system receiver is disclosed. Improved peak tracking in the presence of multipath interference is accomplished with an improved discrimiriant. The discriminant may be developed from a curvilinear function based on a minimal number of correlators. Also disclosed is an open loop measurement compensation innovation that compensates for a multipath-induced shift of the correlation function peak. The positioning system receiver may have either one or both of the mitigation features.
