By applying the strobe correlator used widely in global positioning system （GPS） scenarios to Galileo E1 signals, it can be found that the strobe correlator has an undesirable level of performance when the delay of multipath signals is about 0. 5 chip. Combining several strobe correlators, the ELSC can effectively mitigate the multipath effect especially for the multipath signals with the 0. 5 chip delay. The multipath error envelopes between the strobe correlator and the ELSC are compared for Galileo E1 signals. The simulation results indicate that the ELSC performs excellently on multipath mitigation, and can be applied in both Galileo scenarios and GPS scenarios.展开更多

Combining signal tracking and navigation solution,vector tracking can realize powerful processing capabilities by the fusion technique of receiving channel and feedback correction. In this paper,we try to break through the complicated details of numerical analysis,consider the overall influencing factors of the residual in observed data,and use the intrinsic link between a conventional receiver and a vector receiver. A simple method for performance analysis of the vector tracking algorithm is proposed. Kalman filter has the same steady performance with the classic digital lock loop through the analysis of the relation between gain and band width. The theoretical analysis by the least squares model shows that the reduction of range error is the basis for the superior performance realized by vector tracking. Thus,the bounds of its performance enhancement under weak signal and highly dynamic conditions can be deduced. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the analysis presented here.展开更多

And the digital lock-in amplifier is more suitable for meastwing lowfrequency weak signal. Digital signal sequence is obtained through sampling signal measured over an integer number of signal periods, but digital reference sequence is acquired through mathematical operation, then digital phase sensitive detection can be implemented by calculating the cross-correlation function of digital signal sequence and digital reference sequence. In addition, the frequency response and phase character of the digital lock-in amplifier is analyzed. Finally, the designed digital lock-in amplifier is achieved. Expermental results show that the digital lock-in amplifier can be used for measuring weak signal with low ignal-to-noise ratio.展开更多

In this paper,we proposed a control displacement method based on a polarization ellipsometirc interferometer and phase-locked loop technique. The proposed principle was set up. The experimental results of step and step displacements with a step value of 5 nm were presented. We also analyzed the resolution,the potential minimal displacement of the established system. The results show that the position error induced by the ellipticty deviation of the light beam becomes negligible thanks to our signal processing circuit with high-order filter. This method could be useful for many applications in nano dimensional metrology and semiconductor industry.展开更多
