Abstract  Abstract

A combined GPS and communication system having shared circuitry. The combined system includes an antenna for receiving data representative of GPS signals a frequency converter coupled to the antenna a frequency synthesizer coupled to the frequency converter an analog to digital converter coupled to the frequency converter and a processor coupled to the frequency converter. The processor processes the data representative of GPS signals to determine a pseudorange based on the data representative of GPS signals. The integrated communication receiver includes a shared component which is at least one of the antenna the frequency converter the frequency synthesizer and the analog to digital converter. Typically in certain embodiments the processor also demodulates communication signals received as well as controls the modulation of data to be transmitted as a communication signal through a communication link.
