On the basis of realizing regional navigation, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) has advanced navigation function, which leads to the broadcasting of more signals in a single frequency of QZSS signals. Current signal transmission technology cannot solve this problem, so it is necessary to design a signal multiplexing method. The current QZSS satellite interface document does not disclose the multiplexing modulation method of the signal transmission, which has a certain impact on the acquisition of high-precision observation data and further data processing. The iGMAS (International GNSS Monitoring & Assessment System) Monitoring and Evaluation Center of the 54th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation has used the low-distortion data acquisition and processing platform and refined signal software receiving processing algorithm of the iGMAS to complete the signal acquisition and analysis of QZSS satellites. Analysis of the multiplexing and modulation method and signal characteristics for the QZSS has been carried out, which can provide a reference for the design and data processing of high-precision receivers.
High-precision systems such as civil aviation have put forward higher requirements for navigation systems, including indicators such as accuracy and integrity. Signal distortions and evil waveforms (EWF) generated by the signal-generating hardware on the satellite can severely affect the cross-correlation function of the signal, thereby affecting the integrity of the navigation system. With the further development of the BeiDou Navigation System (BDS), the types of signal distortion are subdivided into three types: analog distortion, subcarrier distortion, and PN code distortion. Traditional multi-correlator methods are no longer applicable under the requirements of modern navigation systems. In this paper, a machine learning-based BeiDou B1C signal anomaly monitoring algorithm is proposed. We detected and classified the signals using a quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) method. The results show that our method can accurately classify the distortion types under the condition that the accuracy of distortion detection can be greatly improved. Meanwhile, our method is also highly effective and robust.
Compared with the previous GPS satellites, the first GPS III satellite adds a new civil signal L1C to the signal components of the L1 frequency in addition to the improvement of positioning accuracy, anti-interference ability, and service life. The selection and combination of signal modulation and multiplexing methods will affect the power ratio and phase relationship in the process of signal transmission. In the distribution of constellation of different modulation modes, the signal amplitudes of different signal constellation points will be affected by the nonlinear amplifiers of satellites. The analysis can assess its impact on navigation performance. The iGMAS monitoring and evaluation center of the 54th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation uses the low-distortion data acquisition and processing platform and refined signal software receiving processing algorithm of the iGMAS monitoring and evaluation center to complete the signal acquisition of the first satellite of GPS III over China, and processes accordingly for its signal modulation mode. Compared with the previous generation GPS of old system signals, it is found that the GPS signal of the new system not only adds the L1C frequency, but also the constant envelope multiplexing mode of the L1 frequency signal, and the power ratio of the internal signal components are also adjusted.
