Abstract

A receiver device includes an acquisition engine and a reconfiguration engine. The acquisition engine uses a first circuit size. The acquisition engine is configured to receive a first signal including a plurality of first satellite vehicle signals, and identify a first satellite vehicle based on the first signal. The reconfiguration engine is configured to receive an indication that the acquisition engine identified the first satellite vehicle, and responsive to receiving the indication, generate a reconfiguration file defining a second circuit size less than the first circuit size. The reconfiguration engine is configured to cause the acquisition engine to be reconfigured based on the reconfiguration file to use the second circuit size.
