A novel configuration for improving the frequency tracking performance of GNSS signals in multipath environments is proposed. The proposed technique is based on combining the weakly correlated outputs of Early, Prompt and Late match filters to exploit the inherent time-delay diversity when severe multipath conditions prevail. By observing more code-phase offsets simultaneously, the loop is more resilient...
Size and cost considerations of handheld terminals limit the use of antenna array for combating multipath fading in these applications. Recently, a synthetic array based on moving a single antenna was proposed for handheld terminals. This technique however fails to provide enough diversity gain when the channel is spatially correlated. A combination technique based on merging polarization and spatial...
Diversity techniques based on combining uncorrelated or partially correlated signals have proven to be effective for combating signal fading that typifies indoor wireless communication channels. Antenna diversity resulting from combining multiple antennas with different radiation characteristics is one of several diversity techniques, and it can be further subdivided into spatial, polarization, and...
A novel technique for synthesizing an array of antenna elements with multiple polarization characteristics based on angular movements of a single antenna is developed. The diversity performance of the synthesized antenna array is then compared to that of a single static antenna through an extensive set of measurements based on capturing the CDMA 2000 signals (transmitted from nearby base stations)...
A mobile station (MS) antenna is typically undergoing random spatial motion as part of the typical usage which degrades the coherency of the received signal resulting in demodulation losses. However, in a fading environment, the random motion can be constructively exploited in a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) processing scheme resulting in diversity gain. The key outcome is the observation...

This paper analysis the performances of a single antenna handheld receiver in detecting a signal in a Rayleigh multipath fading environment. If the antenna is spatially fixed during the time interval that the signal is sampled then signal coherency is maintained. However, the signal will be subject to statistically large fading losses. The alternative is to spatially translate the antenna along some...
The performances of a single moving antenna receiver in detecting a narrowband signal in a correlated Rayleigh fading is considered. The single moving antenna captures spatial samples during antenna displacement that provides a realization of a synthetic antenna array. It is shown that there is a net processing gain in applying synthetic antenna array over keeping antenna stationary. This processing...
