Abstract:	Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals provide worldwide coverage and were intentionally designed to measure ranges. Therefore, GNSS signals, such as Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) and Galileo signals, are excellent signals of opportunity for scientific usage in remote sensing applications. The GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique uses reflected GNSS signals to estimate several geophysical parameters. DEIMOS Engenharia is developing a GNSS-R prototype system which explores the potential of Galileo signals and which the main purpose is the determination of water surface height. This paper presents the results obtained in tests conducted near Tagus Rivers, using Galileo E5 signals, within the scope of the E-GEM project.
