Abstract
The Pseudo Random Noise (PRN) codes is an important part of the GNSS system based on Codes Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and it is the key to channel separation and satellite distinction. The GNSS system excellent performance characteristics of multiple access and spread spectrum are realized by the PRN codes. According to the officially released Interface Control Documents (ICDs), the Beidou global navigation satellite system (BDS-3) B1C and GPS L1C have chosen the Weil codes as PRN codes whose generation is based on the number theoretic method. The Weil codes has the advantages of flexible codes length, good performance and large candidate set, therefore, this paper mainly studies 63 pairs of data/pilot channel PRN codes for BDS-3 B1C and GPS L1C. On the basis of introducing BDS-3 B1C and GPS L1C PRN codes, mainly for the Weil codes generation principle, codes evaluation criteria and intra-system and inter-system odd/even auto-correlation and cross-correlation characteristics are simulated in detail. The experimental results show that the upper limit value, lower limit value, the mean and standard deviation of the odd auto-correlation and cross-correlation of the PRN codes of the BDS-3 B1C signal were better than those of the GPS L1C PRN codes. The performance of odd and even cross-correlation are almost similar between BDS-3 B1C and GPS L1C signal inter-systems, which are slightly worse than the intra-system, and the upper limit value of the inter-system is lower than 2.94 dB in the GPS L1C intra-system.
