A new high dynamic global positioning system (GPS) receiver is presented and its performance characterized by analysis, simulation, and demonstration. The demonstration receiver is a breadboard model capable of tracking a single simulated satellite signal in pseudorange and range rate. Pseudorange and range rate estimates are made once every 20 ms, using a maximum likelihood estimator, and are tracked by means of a third-order fading memory filter in a feedback configuration. The receiver tracks pseudorange with rms errors of under 1 m when subjected to simulated 50 g, 40 g/s circular trajectories. The tracking threshold is approximately 28 dB-Hz, which provides 12 dB margin relative to the minimum specified signal strength, assuming 3.5 dB system noise figure and 0 dBi antenna gain.
