Abstract

The structure of generalized binary offset carrier (GBOC) signals of satellite radio navigation systems, such as global positioning system (GPS) (USA), global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) (Russia), Galileo (European Union), and BeiDou/Compass (China), is examined. Analytical expressions for the correlation functions (CFs) characterizing the single components of the GBOC-signal modulation function (MF) are derived at the typical pulse multiplicity coefficients NR (NR = 2 and 4) and different duty cycles. The CFs properties of the components of GBOC-signal MFs are discussed and their graphs are constructed at ρ = 0 (or ρ = 1) corresponding to binary phase-shift keying signals, ρ = 0.1 (or ρ = 0.9), ρ = 0.25 (or ρ = 0.75), ρ = 0.3 (or ρ = 0.7), ρ = 0.45 (or ρ = 0.55), and ρ = 0.5 corresponding to binary offset carrier signals. The energy spectra (power spectral densities) of the single components of GBOC-signal MFs are calculated via the Fourier transform of CFs at the pulse multiplicity coefficients NR= 2 and 4.
