It joined its older sibling, GIOVE-A, which was placed in orbit over two years earlier. [...] The launches are expected to occur by the end of 2010. But before the In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase can begin, a thorough analysis of the performance of the GIOVE satellites must be carried out to minimize any difficulties with the IOV satellites. This includes monitoring and assessing the different signals broadcast by the satellites. The GIOVE satellites can transmit on all three Galileo frequencies, E5, E6, and E1 (also known as L1) but only on two simultaneously (either E1-E5 or E1-E6). A variety of modulation types can be transmitted on the different frequencies by both satellites to test their use for the different Galileo services to be implemented for the operational constellation. These include alternative binary offset carrier (BOC) and quadrature phase shift keying on E5 and cosine BOC (BOCc) and binary phase shift keying on E6. On E1, the satellites have different capabilities. Although both satellites can transmit BOCc on this frequency, GIOVE-A can additionally transmit a single BOC signal with a subcarrier frequency of 1.023 MHz and a spreading code chipping rate of 1.023 MHz (BOC(1,1)) whereas GIOVE-B transmits a more versatile multiplexed composite BOC or CBOC, which linearly combines BOC(1,1) and BOC(6,1). The CBOC signal is being transmitted by GIOVE-B to explore its performance, usability, and any possible side effects including its use in receivers designed to track a BOC(1,1) signal. GIOVE-B has now been in orbit for just over one year. How well is it performing? In particular, what can we say about one of GIOVE-B's pioneering features: its E1 CBOC signal? In this month's column, we take a detailed look at a particular monitoring and assessment program set up to examine the GIOVE-B signals and discuss some of its initial CBOC results. The successful operation of this program bodes well for its use in future validation campaigns.
