Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to design a low power Global Navigation Satellite System receiver for satellite application based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The receiver processes the satellites signals and provide enough information for wide range of applications. Most of the applications relies on the navigation solution such as position, velocity and time. The receiver continuously acquire and track the signals from the satellites in order to compute the continuous solution based on the requirement of application. The navigation solution based on the computation distance between the receiver and set of satellites. The proposed method uses the PSO based navigation process. Hence it provide better performance through the selection of optimal solution (position, velocity and time). The proposed work is implemented in Xilinx platform and compared with various target devices in terms of frequency and area. The comparative analysis clearly demonstrate the better performance of proposed work under various target devices.
