A radionavigation signal tracking device comprises a first and a second tracking stage for radionavigation signals. The first tracking stage comprises a first carrier phase-locked loop. The latter produces a first error signal arising from a phase difference between the first carrier and its replica. The phase of the replica of the first carrier is adjusted with the first error signal. The second tracking stage comprises a second carrier phase-locked loop. The latter produces a second error signal arising from a difference between the first phase difference and a phase difference between the second carrier and the replica thereof. The phase of the replica of the second carrier is adjusted with the first and second error signals.
A radionavigation signal tracking device comprising a first tracking stage of a first radionavigation signal contained in an incoming signal to be applied to the device, the first radionavigation signal comprising a first carrier at a first frequency modulated by a first spreading waveform, said first tracking stage comprising a first carrier phase-locked loop with a mixer configured to multiply the incoming signal with a local replica of the first carrier, the first carrier phase-locked loop comprising a phase discriminator of the first carrier configured to produce a first error signal arising from a first phase difference between the first carrier and the local replica of the first carrier, the first carrier phase-locked loop being configured to adjust the phase of the local replica of the first carrier on the basis of the first error signal;
