Abstract :
The effects of autocorrelation sidelobes on multipath errors in pseudorandom noise (PRN) ranging systems are investigated. It is shown that both medium-delay (i.e., on the order of 1 PRN chip) as well as long-delay multipath errors are affected. Results are applied to the case of the Global Positioning System (GPS).
