This paper describes the design of digital tracking loops for GPS receivers in a high dynamics environment, without external aiding. We adopted the loop structure of a frequency-locked loop (FLL)-assisted phase-locked loop (PLL) and design it to track accelerations steps, as those occurring in launc...
