3.6.12. PN Codes Standard (Regenerative PN Ranging)
Available under licence on Cortex CRT eXplorer
3.6.12.1.General
The ranging sequence consists in a continuous transmission of a pseudo noise sequence, which is a logical
combination of six binary periodic PN components used for ambiguity solving. One of these PN components,
called the range clock, represents the major tone.
By means of a digital PLL, the RAU produces a phase-locked replica of the major tone. The PN components are
correlated with the demodulated code to determine the number of major tone cycles in the range.
The PLL is a second-order whose bandwidth (2Bn) is programmable from 0.001 to 32 Hz.
3.6.12.2.Frequency Programming
The tone frequency is programmable through major tone parameters according to the following rule (in kHz):
in Hz and

with the restrictions described in § 3.6.2.
The tone frequency is half of the Chip Rate. According to CCSDS 414.1-B-2, two chip rates are selected:
