Gnss receiver

The GNSS receiver of the preceding claim, wherein the data transfer interface (75) includes a dedicated high speed unidirectional DMA system to transfer the correlation samples from the GNSS receiver into the memory of the host (300).

The GNSS system of any of the preceding claims, further comprising a tracking unit (200), operatively arranged to track a number of GNSS signals by their values of Doppler shift and code shift, and to provide ranging measurements to the host system.

The GNSS receiver of any of the previous claims, wherein the data transfer interface transfers the data to the host in the same order in which it has received them.

The GNSS receiver of any of the preceding claims, in combination with an host system (300) interfaced thereto, wherein the host system is operatively arranged to perform DFT and/or FFT operations on the correlation samples of the GNSS receiver to obtain integration values for a plurality of correlation taps corresponding to a plurality of Doppler shift and code shift values.

The GNSS receiver of the preceding claim, in which the host system (300) further comprises a hardware acceleration unit (130).

The GNSS receiver of the preceding claim, in which the hardware acceleration unit (130) consists in a Graphic Processing Unit.

The GNSS receiver of the preceding claim, wherein the host system is operatively arranged to compute the absolute value or the square of the time-integrated correlation taps, and or to integrate said absolute values or square values providing a incoherent accumulated value.
