Hi Doug:
Thanks very much. I've added a diagram to my GPS frequencies paragraph:

scroll down a little.
Hi Paul:
The 10.23 is a key number for a transmitter. For example the Stanford Telecom 5001 test transmitter which uses a high
quality 10.23 xtal oscillator:

I think the Northern Telecom GPS Satellite Simulator STR2760 synthesizes the
needed 10.23.

The first generation Trimble Trimpack (PSN-10) GPS receivers were all built on their key patent. It's a direct
conversion receiver using a hard limiter with I&Q signals.

The prior art GPS receivers used heterodyne receivers which were much more
expensive.

Hello Brooke,
It has been a while since we emailed each other - hope you are doing well.
The 10.949297 MHz oscillator in GPS receivers was (I think) chosen by
Rockwell in the early days when they wanted a frequency that work for both
L1 and L2 receivers. If you multiply the 10.949 times 128 you get 1401.51
MHz. for the local oscillator in the receiver. That will give you a first
IF of 173.91 MHz. If you add 1401.51 MHz and 173.91 MHz you get 1575.42
for the L1 channel. If you subtract 173.91 MHz from 1401.51 MHz you get
1227.6 MHz for the L2 channel.
So the receivers you have were most likely designed to work as either L1 or
L2 or maybe both. Using the 10.949 MHz oscillator frequency made it easy
for the receiver manufacturers to produce receivers for the military that
would be for L1 and L2 channels.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Doug, K4CLE

Hi:
I understand 10.230 MHz since when multiplied it gives 1176.45,1227.60,
1381.05 & 1575.42 MHz, all GPS carrier frequencies.

But I've got a number of GPS receivers that have Rakon unit oscillators
with a frequency of 10.949297.

What's the story?
PS I'm looking for documentation on the Polaris Link (civilian) GPS board.
