L3 band. The E6 and E1-L1-E2 bands are both 40.92 MHz wide and centered at
1278.75 and 1575.42 MHz. For the data-free, or pilot, signals, a 100-ms code repetition period is used to ensure that the code length is not less than the satellite-to-user distance. Different …show more content…
The data components of the E5 signals, E5a-d and E5b-d, are broadcast in phase with respect to the carriers, while the pilot components, E5a-p and E5b-p, are broadcast in Quadra phase.
The E5a and E5b signals are broadcasted by Galileo satellites as a combined signal multiplex. This enables them to share a single transmitter and provides the users with the option of tracking a single wideband signal, instead of separate signals, to obtain more accurate pseudo-range measurements. However, because the E5a-d and E5b-d signals carry different navigation data messages, standard BOC modulation cannot be used. Instead, an alternate-binary-offset-carrier (AltBOC) modulation scheme has been developed with a 15.345-MHz subcarrier frequency and
10.23-Mchip s−1 spreading code chipping rate. This permits differentiation of
