Abstract
A Global Positioning System (GPS) acquisition method is provided. A GPS signal is first received, comprising a plurality of data bits, each repeating for a bit period. A search space is then formed, comprising a plurality of elements each associated with a presumed offset and a presumed code phase. Before bit-transition of each bit period, element values of the elements are accumulated by substituting the data bits into a coherent-combination algorithm. After bit-transition of each bit period, the element values are accumulated by substituting the data bits into a differential-coherent combination algorithm.
