Abstract
Large-scale low earth orbit (LEO) constellations can enhance traditional
global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in many ways, but the rapid
increase in the number of LEO satellites also poses challenges to the
anti-interference performance of navigation signals. To improve the
performance of the B1C signal in the future BeiDou global navigation
satellite system, this paper proposes a modulation method: it enhances
the existing quadrature multiplexed binary offset carrier (QMBOC) by
using periodic binary hyperbolic frequency modulation (HFM) signals as
subcarriers. The enhanced QMBOC signal (QMBOC-HFM) demonstrates superior
anti-interference ,multipath mitigation performance and code tracking
performance compared to the original QMBOC signal. The proposed
QMBOC-HFM provides a potential signal design for future LEO
navigation-augmented global satellite navigation systems.
