Receiver Development Trends 1

• Background and Fundamentals

• Receiver Technology Status

• Implementation Issues

• Software radio, FPGA, ASIC

• Comparison of Different Implementations

• Receiver Integration Levels

• Semiconductor Technology Progress (2020+)

• Trends in oscillators from crystals to chip-scale atomic clocks

• Massively parallel correlators

• Single and multiple frequency receivers

Receiver Development Trends 2

• Low – end development trends: chipsets, systems on chips, single chips and dies; data less channels; multipath mitigation

• High – end development trends: multi-frequency, multichannel receivers (L1, L2C, L5, …); multi- -system receivers (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Compass); precise antenna technologies; Future role of semi-codeless channels; pulse blanking

• Military receivers development trends

• Receiver comparisons

Level: A basic knowledge of GPS, GPS signal structure, and engineering analysis methods are assumed. Moderate to advanced level course with some review.
