A Signal Design for the GIC Which Includes Capacity for WDGPS Data

Per Enge, A.J. Van Dierendonck, George Kinal

Abstract:	This paper describes a signal design for the GPS (or GNSS) Integrity Channel (GIC). In this paper, the GIC refers to the broadcast from geostationary satelites of a “GPS-like” signal. The code phase and carrier frequency of the signal will be controlled such that .the signal will provide high accuracy ranging in- formation and augment the GNSS constellations. The signal will also carry pseudorange corrections to all GNSS satellites. These features will make 100 meter position fixing accuracy available with a time avail- ability near 99.999%. The GIC signal has also been designed to provide enough data capacity & precision to carry wide area differential GNSS corrections. If invoked, this feature would provide accuracies close to those required for precision approach. This work is the product of Working Group 2 of Special Committee 159 of the RTCA.
