A flexible architecture GPS receiver having an intelligent buffer for capturing
incoming sampled RF signals at a rate consistent with the GPS bandwidth and subsequent
repeated "playbacks" of the buffered data at rates consistent with FPGA/ASIC hardware.
The GPS receiver utilizes a "batch-mode" concept which provides for the potential
of simultaneous search and tracking of GPS signals. The GPS further receiver uses
lossless multiplexing for allowing single channel receiver hardware to process
multiple satellite signals, i.e., to behave as multi-channel receiver hardware,
without any substantial performance degradation.
