  5. Civil Use of GPS “The nation’s reliance on GPS has become an issue of national security -- national security in its broadest sense, that goes beyond merely national defense.” -- Dr. James Schlesinger, March 1997 Power Grid Interfaces Personal Navigation Surveying & Mapping Trucking & Shipping Aviation Communications Railroads Recreation Fishing & Boating Off shore Drilling

  9. GPS Users “Wants” Civil User • Accuracy • Availability • Coverage • Integrity • Robustness • Redundant signals • More power • More jam resistance • More security • Anti-spoof • User discrimination • Shorter “time to first fix” • Backward compatibility Military User • Selective Availability (SA) to zero • Second civil signal • Ionospheric correction • Redundancy • Third civil signal • High accuracy • real-time applications • Spectrum protection for • “safety of life” applications L2 Civil Signal Military code L1 / L2 • Higher power • New military signal • Spectral separation • from civil signals • Faster signal acquisition • Improved security codes L5

  10. Why Modernize GPS?The Civil GPS Perspective • Better support to civil GPS customers worldwide • New civil signals for improved accuracy, integrity and continuity of service = robustness • Global utility = economic enabler • Optimize GPS PVT and augmentation systems in a overall national network architecture Presidential Decision Directive - Mar 96 Vice Presidential Announcements - Mar 98 and Jan 99

  16. Overview • Background • Advantages of New Signal • Design Considerations

  17. Background • Option to implement a new signal • Did not want to limit future GPS by what is implemented on IIR/IIF • Overcome some limitations of C/A coded signals • Can make significant improvements with new technology signal • C/A code designed as an acquisition signal • 1070s technology

  18. Advantages of a New Signal • Improved Cross Correlation Properties • Improves ability to transmit more signals (SBAS,Pseudolytes) • Improves the tolerance to interference • Improves susceptibility to self interference • Improves the dynamic rage of receivers • Can receive weaker signals without self interference • Enables operation in more stressful environments (wooded area, buildings, urban canyons) • Enables ability for higher power signals on future satellites

  19. Advantages of a New Signal • Improved Tracking capability • Enables operation in more stressful environments (wooded area, buildings, urban canyons) • Improved Data Demodulation • Want equivalent to tracking threshold • Again, enables operation in more stressful environments • Acquisition Capability • Dependent on user equipment • Design trade with code length • Not limited by code. With right UE, can acquire signal in more stressful environments than C/A code

  20. Design Considerations • Enhance existing professional/commercial dual frequency applications • Provide more robust iono correction signal • Provide a more effective single frequency navigation signal • Drives need for data • Simple to implement in the SV and UE • Schedule and Cost (both SV and UE) • Replacement for C/A signal

  21. Design Considerations (continued) • Compatible with L2 M-code • Spectral Separation • Ensure no detriment to Codeless/Semi Codeless L2 P(Y) receivers • As a result of two earlier objectives • Same power level and spectral shape as C/A code…no additional testing required • Risk Mitigation • Design schedule short, IIR implementation schedule short, coordination process short • C/A code switch

  22. Design Considerations (continued) • What is optimum in the future (GPS III) to determine the best step now. • Did not want to artificially constrain thinking due to possible IIR/IIF perceived limitations. • Perceived cost/schedule limitations. • Design for future, provide natural migration path • Then determine what portion could be implemented on IIR and IIF • L2 C/A code compatibility • Assess impact on both military and civilian receivers • Not a design driver but have C/A switch as risk mitigation

  23. Signal Characteristics • Two codes one with & one without data • Serves single and dual frequency users • Signal characteristics: • Codes longer than C/A to minimize cross correlation • Separated by time – Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) • Narrow band signal – Spectral separation • Improved data structure – Enhanced Data demodulation • Enhance cross correlation, tacking threshold, data demodulation threshold.

  24. Signal Comparison • L2 splits power 50/50 between data and data-less channels • Medium Code with Data, Long code no data • Higher effective L2 channel for tracking • 3db higher than C/A on L2 • Approximately 3dB better Data demodulation capability • Enhanced data structure

  25. Signal Comparison • 24dB better cross-correlation protection. • C/A code cross correlation “protection” is ~21 dB. The L2CS signal is ~45dB “protection” • Dynamic range improvement. • Better capability to receive both weak and strong signals • Acquisition threshold • Given assumptions of improved UE, not harmed • Under stressful conditions improved

  26. L2CS Summary • TDM service for both single and dual frequency • Significant improvements in • Cross correlation performance • Tracking threshold • Data recovery threshold • Acquisition Capability • Modern signal for future GPS
