A method of receiving two chip-by-chip multiplexed CSK signals (e.g., GNSS signals) and searching for a non-CSK signal with optimal performance at a given digit capacity of a sampling memory resided in parallel correlators. For CSK signals Prompt, Early and Late results for each of possible code shift are calculated as different sums of four punctured convolutions. Depending on configuration, the method allows to receive both multiplexed CSK signals with lesser quality or one of the CSK signals with better quality. The method can be implemented as an apparatus with four punctured correlators, a set of multipliers by 1 or 2.sup.N, another set of multipliers by 1 or 0, summers of four input to one result, a RAM, searchers of maximum, and conditional commutators.

A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver can include a code generator, a signal correlator circuit, and a processor. The code generator can generate samples of a plurality of ranging codes associated with corresponding GNSS transmitters. The signal correlator circuit can receive, according to a first clock rate, samples of a signal from a GNSS transmitter, and update, according to a second clock rate and a time division multiplexing scheme, cross-correlation values indicative of cross-correlations between the signal and a subset of the plurality of ranging codes. The second clock rate can be equal to at least multiple times the first clock rate. The signal correlator circuit can determine final results of the cross-correlation values based on the updating of the cross-correlation values, and a processor can identify the GNSS transmitter among the plurality of GNSS transmitters based on the final results of the cross correlation values.

A system or method for generating or distributing GNSS corrections can include or operate to: generate a set of corrections based on satellite observations, wherein each correction of the set of corrections comprises an area associated with the correction, a tag, and correction data; update a set of stored corrections with the set of received corrections based on a tag associated with each correction of the set of stored corrections and the tag associated with each correction of the set of received corrections; and transmit stored corrections of the set of stored corrections to the GNSS receiver when the area associated with the stored corrections matches the locality of the GNSS receiver.

A method and apparatus detects and estimates geo-observables of navigation signals employing civil formats with repeating baseband signal components, i.e., “pilot signals,” including true GNSS signals generated by satellite vehicles (SV's) or ground beacons (pseudolites), and malicious GNSS signals, e.g., spoofers and repeaters. Multi-subband symbol-rate synchronous channelization can exploit the full substantive bandwidth of the GNSS signals with managed complexity in each subband. Spatial/polarization receivers can be provided to remove interference and geolocate non-GNSS jamming sources, as well as targeted GNSS spoofers that emulate GNSS signals. This can provide time-to-first-fix (TTFF) over much smaller time intervals than existing GNSS methods; can operate in the presence of signals with much wider disparity in received power than existing techniques; and can operate in the presence of arbitrary multipath.

A method for determining a position of a receiver via use of encrypted signals of a public regulated service. The method comprises transmitting PRN code chips to the receiver by an assistance server. The method further comprises storing the transmitted PRN code chips to be used before a designated time interval by the receiver. The method further comprises receiving the encrypted signals during the designated time interval by the receiver from satellites in line-of-sight to the receiver. The method further comprises determining the position of the receiver via use of the encrypted signals and the stored PRN code chips by the receiver.

GNSS receivers and systems within such receivers use improvements to reduce memory usage while providing sufficient processing resources to receive and acquire and track E5 band GNSS signals directly (without attempting in one embodiment to receive L1 GNSS signals). Other aspects are also described.
