Satellite signal receiving circuit and satellite signal receiving method
A satellite signal receiving circuit includes an oscillator, two mixers, two phase shifters, two low-pass filters, two phase operation circuits, and a bandpass filter. When the frequency of the oscillator is between the center frequencies of the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) and the GPS or the Galileo system, the GLONASS and GPS/Galileo satellite baseband signals are obtained through phase addition and subtraction performed by the phase operation circuits, while the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) baseband signal is obtained through the bandpass filter. When the frequency of the oscillator is between the center frequencies of the BDS and the GPS or the Galileo system, the BDS and GPS/Galileo satellite baseband signals are obtained through phase addition and subtraction performed by the phase operation circuits, while the GLONASS satellite baseband signal is obtained through the bandpass filter.

Methods of and systems, networks and devices for remotely detecting and monitoring the displacement, deflection and/or distortion of stationary and mobile systems using GNSS-based technologies
A system network and methods supported by a constellation of GNSS satellites orbiting around the Earth, and deployed for precise remote monitoring of the spatial displacement, distortion and/or deformation of stationary and/or mobile systems, including buildings, bridges, and roadways. The methods involve (i) embodying multiple GNSS rovers within the boundary of the stationary and/or mobile system being monitored by the GNSS system network, (ii) receiving GNSS signals transmitted from GNSS satellites orbiting the Earth, and (iii) determining the geo-location and time-stamp of each GNSS rover while the stationary and/or mobile system is being monitored for spatial displacement, distortion and/or deformation, using GNSS-based rover data processing methods practiced aboard the system, or remotely within the application and database servers of the data center of the GNSS system network. The GNSS rovers also include on-board instrumentation for sensing and measuring the depth of water ponding about the GNSS rovers.

CONCURRENT OPERATION OF SPS RECEIVER AND WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
A mobile device may be configured to perform concurrent Satellite Positioning System (SPS) operation and wireless communications when uplink signals transmitted by the mobile device interferes with the reception of SPS signals in one or more frequency bands. The mobile device may determine if the SPS receiver has already acquired SPS signals and is in a tracking state. If the SPS receiver is not in a tracking state, an SPS acquisition procedure is initiated before the wireless communication session is initiated. The SPS acquisition procedure is performed until the SPS receiver reaches a tracking state, or until a timeout is reached. Once the SPS receiver is in a tracking state, the wireless communication session may be initiated, during which the SPS receiver is controlled, e.g., to perform signal blanking, measurement exclusion, or disable SPS reception, to mitigate interference with SPS signals.
