Abstract:
On the 20th of October 2011, the first two satellites of the Galileo constellation have been launched successfully. The possibility to have these two satellites in orbit represented a great opportunity for researchers to receive and monitor the first Galileo signals. After the satellite switch-on, we continuously monitored the signal broadcast by both the satellites, using a software radio receiver. This paper shows the analysis on the navigation message that was broadcast by the IOV-PFM Galileo satellite on the E1 bandwidth, starting from December 2011. In particular, we were able to observe a valid ephemeris data on December 21st and December 22nd. The successful interpretation of the navigation message enabled the first GPS+Galileo experimentations using real signals that were performed in static condition, through code-phase measurements.
