Recent results in receiving and decoding signals from the Beidou system

Abstract

Since December 27, 2012, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System officially started to operate. This event is a great opportunity for researchers in South East of Asia to receive and analyze the Beidou signals. After the official statement, the researchers at NAVIS centre monitored the broadcasted signal by using NAVISOFT- our Software Radio Receiver. This paper shows the analysis on the navigation message that was broadcasted by the Beidou satellites on the B1I bandwidth. In general, we were able to observe a valid ephemeris data on visible satellites. The successful PVT computation by using combinations of GEO and MEO/IGSO in static condition through code-phase measurements is indicated in this paper.
