Abstract
A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver may be operable to quantize two-dimensional GNSS sample data with an in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) pair to two-dimensional quantized data with a magnitude and angle pair using the polar quantization, for example, an unrestricted polar quantization. The GNSS receiver may be operable to reduce a size of the two-dimensional quantized data for storage by representing the two-dimensional quantized data by the one-dimensional symbol data. The one-dimensional symbol data may be stored in a random access memory (RAM) for further processing. The I and Q pair associated with the one-dimensional symbol data stored in the RAM may be retrieved and processed by the GNSS receiver using a correlation such as a fast Fourier transform (FFT) correlation.
