Abstract(in English) This work is intended to develop a software-defined Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver specifically designed to process reflected GNSS signals off the ocean surface for purposes of remote sensing. The prototype receiver uses two reception antennas. One of them is oriented to skyward to receive the direct signal from a satellite. The other is oriented to downward to collect the return echo of the same signal reflected off the ocean surface. The surface height can be calculated by measuring the GPS code delay between the two. In order to recover reflected signals diminished by scattering from a large area of the ocean surface, an open-loop signal tracking concept was implemented to the software-defined GPS receiver. The correlation waveform of the reflected signal was successfully recovered by the developed receiver.
