Abstract
A multipath (MP) carrier phase detector is disclosed that uses phase differences in the output of Early/Prompt/Late (EPL) correlation for MP detection. Embodiments may take coherent integrations of EPL correlator outputs and determine the respective carrier phase of each output. Phase differences can then be computed, and integer cycles and biases can be removed. MP can then be identified if a maximum phase difference of the EPL correlator outputs are determined to be above a certain threshold. According to some embodiments, false positives may be reduced by averaging phases and/or phase differences over a plurality of samples, and/or if a threshold number of consecutive MP detections have been made.
