[Signal Spectrum] Based on matlab GPS signal spectrum

GPS signal spectrum based on matlab

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based global positioning system, and its core technology is to use the radio frequency signals emitted by GPS satellites for navigation and positioning. The frequency spectrum of GPS signal mainly includes two parts: L1 frequency band and L2 frequency band. Among them, the carrier frequency of the L1 frequency band is 1575.42 MHz, and the bandwidth is 2 MHz; the carrier frequency of the L2 frequency band is 1227.60 MHz, and the bandwidth is 20 MHz.

According to the signal structure of GPS, GPS signal is a modulated signal with Doppler effect, which is composed of carrier, pseudo-random code and navigation data. Therefore, in the frequency domain, the spectrum of the GPS signal mainly includes three parts:

1. Carrier: The carrier frequency of the GPS signal is 1575.42 MHz and 1227.60 MHz in the L1 and L2 frequency bands, respectively. On the frequency spectrum, the carrier frequency will appear as a peak, and its precise frequency can be obtained through spectrum analysis technology.

2. Pseudo-random code: The pseudo-random code of the GPS signal is a pseudo-random sequence with a length of 1023 bits, which is used to distinguish signals transmitted by different satellites. In the frequency domain, the pseudo-random code will present a spectrum similar to noise, and its bandwidth is related to the code length.

3. Navigation data: The navigation data of the GPS signal includes information such as the position of the satellite and the clock error. In the frequency domain, the navigation data shows a certain regularity, and the demodulation and tracking of GPS signals can be realized by analyzing the navigation data of different satellites.

Here is a simple MATLAB code example to plot the spectrogram of GPS L1:
