Abstract :
Although originally designed for the military, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has proven invaluable in a wide variety of civilian applications. This paper describes the design of a portable GPS receiver for use in numerous emerging applications such as cellular phones that integrate GPS to comply with the FCC´s enhanced 911 mandate, personal locator systems for the elderly and children, and personal navigation systems. The focus of the GPS receiver design is on achieving low-power consumption and high level of integration, which are important design goals in a portable system
