The carrier and sub-carrier replica shalloptimally be linear sin and cosine functions. A codetracking loop is not required once the code is+ j[c B (t ) − c A (t )]SC 4,sin (t )With SC4,cos (t ) and SC4,sin (t ) being the 4 statecosine and sine sub-carrier function defined so that(18) is true.(18)In fact, expression (17) gives the desired signal inan infinite bandwidth. But if the desired signal isfiltered in a bandwidth ranging from 50 Mhz up to190 Mhz, (the next harmonic of the desired subcarrier is at +/- 105 MHz), the desired signalsION GNSS 21st.
International Technical Meeting of theSatellite Division, 16-19, September 2008, Savannah, GA.I IΔ = RΔΔ (τˆ ) ⋅ sin(θˆ) ⋅ sin(φˆ)C Δ (τˆ )QIWe propose an innovative way to track the pilotcomponent of the Alt-BOC. Making abstraction ofthe data channel, which has orthogonal codes to thepilot channel, the pilot component can be seen as a2-code Alt-BOC, and therefore will have itsproperties described earlier.SC8,SSB (t ) = (SC4,cos (t ) + j SC4,sin (t ))Σ↓C Σ (τˆ )SCsin φˆSRFI IΣ = RΣΣ (τˆ ) ⋅ cos(θˆ) ⋅ cos(φˆ)C Δ (τˆ )IQcos θˆALT-BOC PILOT TRACKINGs (t ) = [c A (t ) + c B (t )]SC 4,cos (t )()SC cos φˆΣ↓C Σ (τˆ )969acquired, the code NCO can be driven by the subcarrier loop, as for BOC subcarrier tracking (See[8]).For example we could use the followingdiscriminators (many others are possible).- for the carrier loop :discricpilot =-discrisc1 =QI I I + QQ I QI I2 + I Q2 + QI2 + QQ21≈ sin (2θ )2REFERENCES[1] L Ries & al, « A Software Simulation Tool forGNSS2 BOC Signals », ION GPS 2002, September2002.[2] L Ries & al, « New Investigations on WidebandGNSS2 Signals », GNSS 2003, April 2003.[3] M.

Due to the SPD properties of the desiredsignal, it is optimal to do the subcarrier trackingwith a LOC sub-carrier.ION GNSS 21st. International Technical Meeting of theSatellite Division, 16-19, September 2008, Savannah, GA.970.
