Multipath Performance of the New GNSS Signals

Chris Hegarty, Michael Tran, and John W. Betz

Abstract:	The United States is planning to modernize its GPS satellites with two new civil signals in near future. The planned European satellite navigation system, Galileo, will also provide a set of new civil navigation signals. These Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are designed to provide improved cross-correlation protection, lower tracking thresholds, and reduced susceptibility to narrow-band interference. Of great interest to many civil GNSS users is the multipath performance enabled by these new signals. Multipath is the dominant error source for many current GPS applications, especially short-baseline differential systems. This paper evaluates the performance of the planned GNSS signals and several variants in a variety of multipath conditions.
