A Novel Unambiguous Correlation Function with a High and Sharp Main-Peak for BOC Signal Tracking

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a novel unambiguous correlation function with a high and sharp main-peak for binary offset carrier (BOC) signal tracking. First, we construct a correlation function with a low and narrow main-peak using partial correlation functions. Then, we generate an unambiguous correlation function with a high and sharp main-peak via combinations of the correlation function with the partial correlation functions. From numerical results, it is observed that the proposed unambiguous correlation function with a high and sharp main-peak offers a better tracking performance than the conventional correlation functions with a low and flat main-peak in terms of the tracking error standard deviation.
