A new single-channel separation algorithm for satellite navigation signals is proposed to solve the problem that traditional separation methods that use signal's time/frequency/modulation domain orthogonal characteristics are no longer suitable for the complex modulation signals. The random characteristics in different channels are used to design a periodic mask accumulation rule for the multi-channel mixed signals. The residuals and compensation factors of mask accumulated values for each branch are calculated to obtain the product coefficients which let the accumulation sum of corresponding undesired channels get zero. Then the desired separation of the signals is achieved. Simulation and testing results
as well as comparison with a traditional evaluation method without separation
show that the carrier phase resolution and the pseudo-random code symbol resolution of the proposed separation algorithm are better than 5° and 0.01%
respectively
and that the algorithm accurately shows the time/frequency/modulation domain distortion of baseband signal. The proposed separation algorithm may provide a technical support for the quantitative evaluation and processing of the next generation navigation signals.
