Abstract
Based on the correlation properties of the pseudo-random code in spread spectrum receivers, a novel and unified quantizer model was established, which was suitable for both uniform and nonuniform quantization. Statistical signal processing technique and extreme value theory were employed to obtain the analytical formulas of the optimal quantization value and corresponding quantization losses. Numerical results of uniform quantization, nonuniform quantization and theoretically optimal quantization are achieved using genetic algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation, which can be used to guide the engineering design of the GNSS receivers.
