The short-pulse TDMA signal is an excellent solution to the near-far problem in the pseudolite augmentation systems, and the pulse duty cycle is an important element in the solution. This paper aims at designing the duty cycle of the pseudolite pulse signals with a theoretical method. At first, the scope of the duty cycle is derived theoretically with the object of ensuring the reception of both the pseudolite signals and the satellite signals, and the expression for the theoretical upper limit is given. Then based on the proposed expression, the duty cycles of Galileo pseudolite pulse signals are designed. The theoretical upper limit can guide the design of the short-pulse TDMA pseudolite signals.pseudolite, short-pulse, TDMA, duty cycle
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
