Abstract
A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver is disclosed. In embodiments, the GNSS receiver includes a tracking engine running on a primary controller, the tracking engine configured to receive a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites. The GNSS receiver further includes a space-time adaptive correlator (STAC) engine running on an application-specific controller. In embodiments, the STAC engine is configured to: receive initial position data and an initial receiver clock estimate from the tracking engine; construct a spatial hypercube based on the received initial position data; receive the plurality of signals from the tracking engine; interpolate signal strengths of the plurality of signals to generate a plurality of signal intensity curves; integrate the plurality of signal intensity curves within the spatial hypercube for the initial receiver clock estimate to generate a signal intensity hypercube plot; and determine a receiver position based on the signal intensity hypercube plot.
