The code tracking loop is a key component for user po-sitioning. The pseudorange information of BeiDou B1 signals has been fused and changed for vector tracking, so a correlation output model for complex scenarios is designed to prevent the propaga-tion of error and valuate the signal performance. The relevant software and hardware factors that affect the output are analyzed. A single channel time-division multiplexing (TDM) method for multi-correlation data extraction is proposed. Statistical characteristics of the correlation output data for both vector and scalar structures are evaluated. Simulation results show that correlation outputs for both structures follow normal or Chi-squared distributions in normal conditions, and the Gamma distribution in harsh condi-tions. It is shown that a tracking model based on the multi-channel fusion hardly changes the probability distribution of the correla-tion output in the normal case, but it reduces the ranging error of the code loop, and hence the tracking ability of the code loop for weak signals is improved. Furthermore, vector tracking changes the pseudorange characteristics of channels anytime, and affects the mutual correlation outputs of the code loops in the abnormal case. This study provides a basis for the subsequent design of autonomous integrity algorithms for vector tracking.
