GPS-III L1C signal reception demonstrated on QZSS

Abstract

Consumer Multiconstellation silicon started with GPS-Galileo around 2007 [1], but with Glonass satellites available before Galileo, was first seen publically Teseo-2, STA8088, in 2010/11 [2,3,4]. With QZSS, Compass, GPS-L1C, Glonass-CDMA all expected, the silicon manufacturer must continue the path towards the fully flexible multi constellation receiver, otherwise the number and rate of new required chips would be beyond design and test resource capability. The early availability of the L1C signal on the QZSS satellite helps greatly, and is studied in this paper.
