E1 signal processing of Galileo IOV-1 PFM satellite

摘要

PFM, the ProtoFlight Model (GSAT0101), was launched together with FM2 on October 21, 2011. According to CONGO(COoperative Network for GIOVE Observation) network tracking reports, PFM started transmitting E1 signals on December 10, 2011. This paper presents the processing results of the E1 signal transmitted from the Galileo PFM satellite. The PFM E1 signal was acquired in ETRI, Korea. And then, the signal processing is performed using the E1 software receiver implemented by ETRI. The processing results of the signal acquisition and tracking show that the PFM E1 signal is normally being transmitted in Korea.
