Abstract
Unexpected frequency shifts in GPS receivers are compensated by utilizing a shock detector or temperature transient detector. The detector can be utilized with a GPS receiver and provides a signal to adjust the signal-search algorithm. The signal-search algorithm is able to acquire or reacquire a satellite signal more quickly when adjusted by the shock detector. The receiver can be utilized in guided munitions and other vehicles which are susceptible to temperature transients and mechanical shocks.
