A software defined GPS and galileo receiver springer
[...]... The receiver employs a wideband analog-to-digital (A/ D) converter that captures all channels of the software radio node The receiver then extracts, downconverts, and demodulates the channel waveform using software on a general-purpose processor The idea is to position a wideband A/ D converter as close to an antenna as is convenient, transfer those samples into a programmable element, and apply digital...
