A proposed correlator structure was developed on a base of a deep study of an E5 signal cross correlation function. Due to the non linearity of the E5 AltBOC modulation the proposed correlator calculates the cross correlation function between a received signal and a signal replica for all possible hypotheses of the navigation message bits. A correct peak tracking verification is realized by implementation of a single side band correlator, which also serves for course signal acquisition and secondary ranging code synchronization. The signal processing was verified on the Galileo Giove A and Giove B satellites with very positive preliminary results.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Global Positioning System (GPS), Galileo, Satellite Positioning, Optimal Tracking Algorithms, Signal Characteristics, Additive White Gauss Noise Channel (AWGN)} }
