The simulation method was proposed for intermediate frequency (IF) signals. Through study on GPS L1 C/A code signals, the mathematical model of GPS IF signal was analyzed. The GPS IF signal simulator was designed and implemented, which provided a highly efficient platform for the design and verification of the GPS software receiver. By using this simulator, simulation experiments of GPS IF signals were carried out, taking simulations of the Doppler frequency, multipath interference and noise jamming as examples. Implementation procedures of signal acquisition, signal tracing and navigation message demodulation were studied on the princi- ple of the GPS software receiver. By comparing the positioning results of the GPS software receiver designed in this paper with the actual results measured by a real NovAtel receiver, the algorithms of the functional units of the software receiver were verified. The results indicate that the software receiver can meet the operation requirements and has good flexibility and scalability.
