Abstract
Systems and methods for a scanning correlator for global navigation satellite system signal tracking are provided. In one embodiment, a method for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver tracking comprises: receiving a GNSS navigation signal; generating a local Pseudo Random Noise (PRN) sequence; sampling the GNSS navigation signal over a plurality of integration periods to produce a plurality of scanning values, wherein each scanning value has a respective time offset such that at least one first time offset is not equal to at least one second time offset; estimating at least two points of an autocorrelation function for the GNSS navigation signal based on the plurality of scanning values; and calculating an alignment between the GNSS signal and the local PRN sequence based on the autocorrelation function estimate.
