Abstract
Satellite navigation and positioning have become an indispensable component of smart devices and applications. In order to avoid signal interference in L1 frequency and provide novel services, Global Positioning System III (GPS III) updated a modern signal named L1C and tested in three Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) satellites launched in 2017. In December 2018, the first GPS III satellite was launched, which implies the joint positioning using QZSS and GPS L1C signal is improved. L1C signal offers a series of advanced designs in signal modulation, message structure and coding, etc. In this regard, this paper presents complete methodologies for L1C signal joint receiving processing. For the on-air signals, this paper presents a methodology and results from collecting and assessing binary offset carrier (BOC) modulation and time-multiplexed BOC (TMBOC) modulation used in L1C signal. Using the same omnidirectional antenna and the test-equipment, the L1C signal was collected in Xi’an and Sanya, China, respectively. Experiments in Xi’an verified the joint positioning method to complement the GPS III and QZSS satellite constellations. The methodology in this paper evaluates the positioning error of BOC(1,1) and TMBOC(6,1,4/33) under the same environment and satellite constellation in Sanya. It is also verified that the joint positioning error is less than the QZSS-only positioning due to the optimization of the satellite constellation.
