A Demonstration of the Galileo E5b Signal

摘要

In previous articles, an optimized method for providing additional service through the available EGNOS GEO payloads was presented. This current study assesses the opportunity for an L5 SoL service existing together with a non-SoL service on the E5 repeaters of SES GEO satellites, by using two different Navigation Land Earth Stations: the first is used to generate the L1-L5 SoL signals, and the second independently generates the E5b signal. In line with previous research on the subject, this article provides the first live test results of an end-to-end GEO E5b PPP testbed demonstration jointly carried out by the French Space Agency (CNES) and Thales Alenia Space, France, with the support of SES Networks, Luxembourg.
