The Application of an Improved Genetic Algorithm to Signal Acquisition

Abstract:

The paper proposes an improved genetic algorithm which is applied to the problem of GPS signal acquisition.The improved genetic algorithm uses the small section method of the initial population, dynamic search range of parameter, and the adaptive crossover probability and mutation probability to search GPS signal parameters. Simulations and experiment results show that the improved genetic algorithm can search the signal parameters rapidly and precisely. The GPS signal acquisition performance is improved.
