Re: [time-nuts] Trimble Thunderbolt no longer determines the correct date

2017-08-01 Thread Leigh L. Klotz, Jr WA5ZNU

Thank you, Ralph!

Indeed, I had tarred up the branch on github with your original code, 
not the branch with my changes...how embarrassing!


I've updated the tarball and re-arranged the page to make it easier to 
find the latest.


Also, if you make an official version I'll remove my download and just 
put back the startup scripts that I have added.  Note that I didn't 
touch gpsclientd...

It's not as ambitious as Mark's update; this one doesn't read system time so it 
will have to be recompiled again in about 20 years.
I took Mark's Julian and Gregorian date calculations as is ;-)

This is running now as well as it ever did.  Thanks for the great community.

This is a CDMA signal. (With a 'chip' rate that far exceeds the information

If you put a different correlator on every multipath signal, which are each
differently delayed in time, then they can be independently demodulated.
(Or time shifted and added back together with some quality indicator for
weighting.)
So, in CDMA, multipath is used as a form of (time) diversity reception and
will improve the signal to noise of the combined signal.

By definition, the signal with the least time delay either is, or is
closest to, the most direct path.

You don't have to necessarily fully demodulate this early signal by itself,
just know what its timing is. (And remember where it was, if fading in and
out.)

Since multi-path is a destructive mechanism in most narrow band radio
systems, the above may not be intuitive to people not familiar with CDMA
and "rake receiver" based systems.

Multipath helps, not hurts, these systems, as long as the multipath delays
are most of one chip apart, or more.



For GPS raw (off the air), when they post process at JPL, they use a 
fairly sophisticated correlation process, incorporating an estimator of 
the underlying time delay trajectory: you can use a later "big peak" to 
help recover the early "first peak", for instance.


Rake receivers (under the name "adaptive equalizers") are also why 
digital TV works fairly well in high multipath environments - with 
modern receivers that do this.

It seems that more correlators would speed up the time to first fix, not
necessarily the sensitivity, particularly I do not see how it would
directly affect the capability to stay locked when signal strength
fluctuates?
On the other hand, more correlators may help when there is multipath and a
whole bunch of extraneous signals are fed into the receiver, so maybe the
apparent lack of sensitivity is really the inability to see the signal from
the chaff, not necessarily sensitivity in terms of noise figure.





There's also "more sophisticated correlators" and "more sophisticated 
tracking loops" that are enabled by more computational horsepower.  The 
days of "independent" PN tracking loops for each signal are probably 
long gone, and there's clever "aiding" of the loops by estimating the 
on-the-fly variations.

" having around 20 dB of gain at the antenna greatly decreases the effect
of feed line loss on noise figure."

And that would be consistent with usage for a timing receiver which is
expected to have a well exposed antenna and a significant line length, as
opposed to navigation receivers where the antenna is expected to have a
short feed line.

Re: [time-nuts] Trimble Thunderbolt no longer determines the correct date

Based on Mark Sims updates to Heather v5.0 I've updated Ralph Smith's 
NTP daemon to handle the rollover.  I haven't updated the gpsd.

It's not as ambitious as Mark's update; this one doesn't read system 
time so it will have to be recompiled again in about 20 years.

I took Mark's Julian and Gregorian date calculations as is ;-)

This is running now as well as it ever did.  Thanks for the great community.
