Abstract
A personal navigation device includes a correlator for processing GNSS signals from a constellation of satellites A signal is received from a navigation beacon containing a repeating code word, in which the code word includes a number N of samples corresponding to N phases, and in which reception of each code word occurs within a defined time period T. The sequence of N code samples is correlated with a known code word to determine a maximum value of correlation for a particular phase of the received signal. The correlation is performed using a correlator of size M, in which M is less than N, such that N/M=P complete correlations for a partial code phase are performed such that each correlation of a partial code phase is performed within a time period of approximately T/P. All P correlations of partial code phases are completed within time T.
