Product Information

Unlike the C/A code, L2C contains two distinct PRN code sequences to provide ranging information; the civil-moderate code (called CM), and the civil-long length code (called CL). The CM code is 10,230 chips long, repeating every 20 ms. The CL code is 767,250 chips long, repeating every 1,500 ms. Each signal is transmitted at 511,500 chips per second ( chip/s); however, they are multiplexed together to form a 1,023,000-chip/s signal. In each subframe, each hand-over word (HOW) contains the most significant 17 bits of the TOW count corresponding to the start of the next following subframe. [14] Note that the 2 least significant bits can be safely omitted because one HOW occurs in the navigation message every 6 seconds, which is equal to the resolution of the truncated TOW count thereof. Equivalently, the truncated TOW count is the time duration since the last GPS week start/end to the beginning of the next frame in units of 6 seconds. Having reached full operational capability on July 17, 1995 [20] the GPS system had completed its original design goals. However, additional advances in technology and new demands on the existing system led to the effort to "modernize" the GPS system. Announcements from the Vice President and the White House in 1998 heralded the beginning of these changes and in 2000, the U.S. Congress reaffirmed the effort, referred to as GPS III.

L1C consists of a pilot (called L1C P) and a data (called L1C D) component. [35] These components use carriers with the same phase (within a margin of error of 100 milliradians), instead of carriers in quadrature as with L5. [36] The PRN codes are 10,230 chips long and transmitted at 1.023Mchip/s, thus repeating in 10ms. The pilot component is also modulated by an overlay code called L1C O (a secondary code that has a lower rate than the ranging code and is also predefined, like the ranging code). [35] Of the total L1C signal power, 25% is allocated to the data and 75% to the pilot. The modulation technique used is BOC(1,1) for the data signal and TMBOC for the pilot. The time multiplexed binary offset carrier (TMBOC) is BOC(1,1) for all except 4 of 33 cycles, when it switches to BOC(6,1).

Besides redundancy and increased resistance to jamming, a critical benefit of having two frequencies transmitted from one satellite is the ability to measure directly, and therefore remove, the ionospheric delay error for that satellite. Without such a measurement, a GPS receiver must use a generic model or receive ionospheric corrections from another source (such as the Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS). Advances in the technology used on both the GPS satellites and the GPS receivers has made ionospheric delay the largest remaining source of error in the signal. A receiver capable of performing this measurement can be significantly more accurate and is typically referred to as a dual frequency receiver. An ephemeris is valid for only four hours; an almanac is valid with little dilution of precision for up to two weeks. [7] The receiver uses the almanac to acquire a set of satellites based on stored time and location. As each satellite is acquired, its ephemeris is decoded so the satellite can be used for navigation. Each frame contains (in subframe 1) the 10 least significant bits of the corresponding GPS week number. [15] Note that each frame is entirely within one GPS week because GPS frames do not cross GPS week boundaries. [16] Since rollover occurs every 1,024 GPS weeks (approximately every 19.6 years; 1,024 is 2 10), a receiver that computes current calendar dates needs to deduce the upper week number bits or obtain them from a different source. One possible method is for the receiver to save its current date in memory when shut down, and when powered on, assume that the newly decoded truncated week number corresponds to the period of 1,024 weeks that starts at the last saved date. This method correctly deduces the full week number if the receiver is never allowed to remain shut down (or without a time and position fix) for more than 1,024 weeks (~19.6 years).

A and B are maximal length LFSRs. The modulo operations correspond to resets. Note that both are reset each millisecond (synchronized with C/A code epochs). In addition, the extra modulo operation in the description of A is due to the fact it is reset 1 cycle before its natural period (which is 8,191) so that the next repetition becomes offset by 1 cycle with respect to B [32] (otherwise, since both sequences would repeat, I5 and Q5 would repeat within any 1ms period as well, degrading correlation characteristics). The second advancement is to use forward error correction (FEC) coding on the NAV message itself. Due to the relatively slow transmission rate of NAV data (usually 50 bits per second), small interruptions can have potentially large impacts. Therefore, FEC on the NAV message is a significant improvement in overall signal robustness. A dataless acquisition aid is an additional signal, called a pilot carrier in some cases, broadcast alongside the data signal. This dataless signal is designed to be easier to acquire than the data encoded and, upon successful acquisition, can be used to acquire the data signal. This technique improves acquisition of the GPS signal and boosts power levels at the correlator. The GPS satellites (called space vehicles in the GPS interface specification documents) transmit simultaneously several ranging codes and navigation data using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK). Since the FEC encoded bit stream runs at 2 times the rate than the non FEC encoded bit as already described, then t = ⌊ t ′ 2 ⌋ {\displaystyle t=\left\lfloor {\tfrac {t'}{2}}\right\rfloor } . FEC encoding is performed independently of navigation message boundaries; [27] this follows from the above equations.The modulation method is binary offset carrier, using a 10.23MHz subcarrier against the 5.115MHz code. This signal will have an overall bandwidth of approximately 24MHz, with significantly separated sideband lobes. The sidebands can be used to improve signal reception. L1C is a civilian-use signal, to be broadcast on the L1 frequency (1575.42MHz), which contains the C/A signal used by all current GPS users. The L1C signals will be broadcast from GPS III and later satellites, the first of which was launched in December 2018. [1] As of January2021 [update], L1C signals are not yet broadcast, and only four operational satellites are capable of broadcasting them. L1C is expected on 24 GPS satellites in the late 2020s. [1] The arguments of the functions therein are the number of bits or chips since their epochs, starting at 0. The epoch of the LFSRs is the point at which they are at the initial state; and for the overall C/A codes it is the start of any UTC second plus any integer number of milliseconds. The output of LFSRs at negative arguments is defined consistent with the period which is 1,023 chips (this provision is necessary because B may have a negative argument using the above equation). An interesting side effect of having each satellite transmit four separate signals is that the MNAV can potentially transmit four different data channels, offering increased data bandwidth. The interface to the User Segment ( GPS receivers) is described in the Interface Control Documents (ICD). The format of civilian signals is described in the Interface Specification (IS) which is a subset of the ICD.

Whereas the C/A PRNs are unique for each satellite, each satellite transmits a different segment of a master P-code sequence approximately 2.35x10 14 chips long (235,000,000,000,000 chips). Each satellite repeatedly transmits its assigned segment of the master code, restarting every Sunday at 00:00:00 GPS time. (The GPS epoch was Sunday January 6, 1980 at 00:00:00 UTC, but GPS does not follow UTC leap seconds. So GPS time is ahead of UTC by an integer number of seconds.) Pre-operational signal with message set "unhealthy" until sufficient monitoring capability established C/A i is the code with PRN number i. A is the output of the first LFSR whose generator polynomial is x → x 10 + x 3 + 1, and initial state is 1111111111 2. B is the output of the second LFSR whose generator polynomial is x → x 10 + x 9 + x 8 + x 6 + x 3 + x 2 + 1 and initial state is also 1111111111 2. D i is a delay (by an integer number of periods) specific to each PRN number i; it is designated in the GPS interface specification. [4] ⊕ is exclusive or. Modernized GPS civilian signals have two general improvements over their legacy counterparts: a dataless acquisition aid and forward error correction (FEC) coding of the NAV message. The L5 band provides additional robustness in the form of interference mitigation, the band being internationally protected, redundancy with existing bands, geostationary satellite augmentation, and ground-based augmentation. The added robustness of this band also benefits terrestrial applications. [30]Satellites are uniquely identified by a serial number called space vehicle number (SVN) which does not change during its lifetime. In addition, all operating satellites are numbered with a space vehicle identifier (SV ID) and pseudorandom noise number (PRN number) which uniquely identifies the ranging codes that a satellite uses. There is a fixed one-to-one correspondence between SV identifiers and PRN numbers described in the interface specification. [4] Unlike SVNs, the SV ID/PRN number of a satellite may be changed (also changing the ranging codes it uses). At any point in time, any SV ID/PRN number is in use by at most a single satellite. A single SV ID/PRN number may have been used by several satellites at different points in time and a single satellite may have used different SV ID/PRN numbers at different points in time. The current SVNs and PRN numbers for the GPS constellation may be found at NAVCEN. GPS time is expressed with a resolution of 1.5 seconds as a week number and a time of week count (TOW). [13] Its zero point (week 0, TOW 0) is defined to be 1980-01-06T00:00Z. The TOW count is a value ranging from 0 to 403,199 whose meaning is the number of 1.5 second periods elapsed since the beginning of the GPS week. Expressing TOW count thus requires 19 bits (2 19=524,288). GPS time is a continuous time scale in that it does not include leap seconds; therefore the start/end of GPS weeks may differ from that of the corresponding UTC day by an integer number of seconds. CNAV messages begin and end at start/end of GPS week plus an integer multiple of 12 seconds. [26] Specifically, the beginning of the first bit (with convolution encoding already applied) to contain information about a message matches the aforesaid synchronization. CNAV messages begin with an 8-bit preamble which is a fixed bit pattern and whose purpose is to enable the receiver to detect the beginning of a message. The delay for PRN numbers 34 and 37 is the same; therefore their C/A codes are identical and are not transmitted at the same time [5] (it may make one or both of those signals unusable due to mutual interference depending on the relative power levels received on each GPS receiver). An immediate effect of having two civilian frequencies being transmitted is the civilian receivers can now directly measure the ionospheric error in the same way as dual frequency P(Y)-code receivers. However, users utilizing the L2C signal alone, can expect 65% more position uncertainty due to ionospheric error than with the L1 signal alone. [28] Military (M-code) [ edit ]

A major component of the modernization process is a new military signal. Called the Military code, or M-code, it was designed to further improve the anti-jamming and secure access of the military GPS signals.
