I believe I may have inadvertently entered Class B airspace (Denver). While flying in the northwest quadrant of Denver; my GPS intermittently went blank. Instead of monitoring my flight path utilizing ground references; I devoted the majority of my attention to troubleshooting and regaining my GPS function. Turbulent conditions were also present; which added to the distractions. I will ensure in the future that I am more aware of my flight path anytime I am near controlled airspace; and for that matter at all times during flight.
Pilot of an experimental aircraft reports possible Class B airspace incursion due to GPS malfunction and not paying attention while troubleshooting the fault.
