Abstract

This paper presents a low-cost GPS signal reception system based on open-source SDR (Software-Defined Radio) technology. Using RTL-SDR hardware and the GNURadio software platform, it achieves acquisition, tracking, and positioning of GPS L1-band signals. Through a modular design, the system implements key stages such as signal synchronization, navigation message decoding, and position calculation, delivering civil-grade positioning accuracy in open-sky environments. Experimental results show that the solution is low-cost and highly flexible, making it suitable for scientific research, education, and civil navigation applications.
