Abstract

On rocket-borne GPS receivers, the high dynamics make the use of PLL is impractical and a FLL is used. This in turn leads to a string of errors on the demodulated navigation message. The present paper proposes two decoding algorithms for GPS navigation messages suited for strings of errors. The first philosophy uses parity check syndromes to correct demodulation errors. The second philosophy uses Log Correlation Ratio (LCR) comparison along with parity check syndromes to correct for the most probable error pattern. GPS data availability can be significantly improved by using the latter.
