Generalized GNSS Signal Carrier Tracking - Part II: Optimization and Implementation.

This paper presents the performance analysis and the optimizations of the generalized phase locked loop (PLL) and the generalized frequency locked loop (FLL). Using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion as a performance measure, the optimal solutions for the generalized PLL and FLL designs under various scenarios: strong and weak signal strength, low and high dynamic, and good and poor oscillator quality are investigated. An adaptive PLL based on automatically adjustment of the integration time and loop parameters in an optimized manner is proposed. An adaptive FLL that operates with the optimal loop parameters is also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed generalized closed-loop tracking architecture and validate the proposed adaptive tracking schemes.
