Feasibility Analysis of GPS L2C Signals for SSV Receivers on SBAS GEO Satellites

초록

This paper analyzes the feasibility of Global Positioning System (GPS) L2C signals for use with the space service volume (SSV) receiver on satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites equipped with L1 and L5 band signal transmitters. Augmentation signals transmitted at L1 and L5 bands from SBAS GEO satellites may interfere with the same bands of SSV GPS-receiving antennas. Therefore, the use of L1 and L5 band signals for the GPS SSV receiver on SBAS GEO satellites is prohibited, and the GPS L2C signal is selected. Unlike ground systems, the various constraints of space exploration in GEO should be considered. Therefore, signal feasibility analysis is essential before considering the use of new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals in GEO. This paper presents satellite visibility, dilution of precision, and navigation solution error when the GPS L2C signal is used in GEO satellites through numerical simulation.
