Development, implementation and validation of a real-time Galileo E1-B signal acquisition and tracking scheme

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Frédéric Chastellain, Marcel Baracchi Frei, Davide Manetti, Giuseppe Zamuner, Elham Firouzi

With the introduction of a square wave sub-carrier modulation in the Galileo E1 BOC(1,1) open service signal, the autocorrelation function becomes more complex as compared to the GPS L1 C/A BPSK(1) signal. Indeed, the presence of two secondary side lobes i ...
