Title :
Determination of GPS RF signal strengths
Author :
Rosenbaum, Glen Var
Abstract :
A methodology for determining GPS RF C/A signal strengths is provided by combined measurement and analysis. Sky temperature, antenna front-end RF gain and noise characterizations are also provided. This methodology is especially applicable for calibration of GPS signal and noise levels for receiver testing.
