The Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are used for navigation and positioning purposes by a diverse set of users. As a part of GPS modernization effort L5 has been recently introduced for better accuracy and availability service. This paper intends to study and simulate the GPS L1/L5 signal in order to fulfill the following two objectives. The first aim is to point out some important features/differences between current L1 (whose characteristics have been fairly known and documented) and new L5 GPS signal for performance evaluation purpose. The second aim is to facilitate receiver development, which will be designed and assembled later for the actual acquisition of GPS data. Simulation has been carried out for evaluation of correlation properties and link budgeting for both L1 and L5 signals. The necessary programming is performed in Matlab.

The next generation Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as Galileo and Global Positioning System (GPS) modernization, will use signals with equal code and bit periods, resulting in a potential bit sign transition in each primary code period of the received signal segments. A bit sign transition occurring within an integration period usually causes a splitting of the Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF) main peak into two smaller side lobes along the Doppler shift axis in the search space and it may lead to an incorrect Doppler shift estimate, which results in a serious performance degradation of the acquisition system. This paper proposes a novel two steps based bit sign transition cancellation method which can overcome the bit sign transition problem and remove or mitigate the CAF peak splitting impairments. The performance of the proposed technique has been comprehensively evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations in terms of detection and false alarm probabilities, which are presented by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) curves. The test results show that the proposed acquisition technique can provide improved performance in comparison with the state-of-the-art acquisition approaches.

As part of the GPS modernization, the GPS L1 C/A signal will be augmented by the L1C signal. With this improvement, for the first time, several signals from the same constellation will be available at the same frequency. In this paper, an acquisition method is implemented to combine the GPS L1 C/A and L1C signals before correlation. The combined acquisition succeeds to acquire the signal at low C/N0, whereas the acquisition of the L1C data channel alone fails. Concerning the tracking, a method to combine the GPS L1 C/A and L1C signals before the discriminator is developed. This method shows better performance than the traditional tracking using only one signal. Finally, a Kalman filter to combine the signals in the tracking is developed. It shows better performance than the traditional tracking in all conditions. Since the L1C signal will not be broadcast before 2013, these methods are tested using a software signal simulator.
