Compatibility of the New Military GPS Signals with Civil Aviation Receivers

Christopher Hegarty and Michael Tran

Abstract:	The United States plans to add new military signals to GPS beginning with the Block IIR-M (IIR-modernized) satellites that will be launched beginning in 2003. The new military (M-code) signals will be implemented on both GPS L1 and L2. This paper evaluates the compatibility between the new military signals and civil aviation GPS receivers, based upon analysis and simulation results. Various types of aviation receivers are considered including airborne and augmentation system ground reference station equipment.
