Galileo L1c - Acquisition Complexity: Cross Correlation Benefits, Sensitivity Discussions on the Choice of Pure Pilot, Secondary Code, or Something Different

Philip G. Mattos

Abstract:	Galileo offers improved indoor sensitivity over existing GPS by improved design of the signals. The major limitation to GPS is cross-correlation, and longer codes and a pilot signal are intended to solve this for Galileo. The paper discusses the need to acquire before tracking, and the complexities of acquisition, together with difficulties caused by shortening the code to accommodate BOC(1,1), and caused by having the secondary code on the pilot channel.
