Comparison of L1 and L5 Bands GNSS Signals Acquisition

Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

Nowadays, civil Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are available in both L1 and L5 bands. A receiver does not need to acquire independently the signals in both bands coming from a same satellite, since their carrier Doppler and code delay ar ...
