Vehicule-mounted satellite signal receiving apparatus
Abstract
In a vehicle mounted satellite signal receiving apparatus which adopts a satellite tracking system combining a gyro tracking with a hybrid tracking, there is provided a device which can revise an offset error correction value of a gyro sensor, even if there is a drift in the offset error. In this device, gyro tracking is performed when a reception level is a threshold value Lc or more. The gyro tracking is performed by setting an antenna at an angular velocity ω, which is derived from an equation, ω = -ωG + ΔωG, where -ωG is a value resulted from conversion of sign for gyro angular velocity ωG, and ΔωG is a prescribed offset error correction value. A reception level declines if the offset error correction value ΔωG deviates and therefore an apparent offset error arises in the gyro sensor. When the reception level declines below a threshold value LB, the aforementioned offset error correction value ΔωG is revised, basing on the direction of an angular velocity ωS which is used in the hybrid tracking (or step tracking).
