F Theory of Operation
This chapter describes the smart antenna's satellite acquisition and
tracking processes, performance characteristics and system
architecture. This discussion assumes you are familiar with basic
GPS theory.
The smart antenna's satellite acquisition and tracking algorithms can
achieve a position solution without any initialization. The receiver
tracks up to eight satellites and automatically selects the best
combination of satellites to compute position, velocity and time. As
satellites move out of view, the smart antenna automatically acquires
new satellites and includes them in the solution set as required.
Before proceeding to the detailed discussion of the satellite
acquisition and tracking process, please review the GPS satellite
message description on the next page.
