Satellite receiver and method for assessing tracking loop quality of satellite receiver

摘要

A method for assessing tracking loop quality of a satellite receiver is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a carrier-to-noise power density ratio (CNO) of a tracking loop which tracks a satellite signal; generating a statistical value associated with the CNO based on output values from a discriminator of the tracking loop; and assessing a quality of the tracking loop based on the CNO and the statistical value.
