Future of Engineering

Most civil users probably don’t know this, but the primary — or only — GPS signals that their receivers employ for positioning are more than 30 years old. That is, the design of those signals came out of the engineering technology and signal processing techniques of the 1970s. Today, however, entirely new and richly improved GPS — and Galileo — signals at the L1 frequency await implementation, and when that occurs it will bring about a whole new world for consumer and commercial GNSS applications. Members of the L1C design team describe the proposed new signal design and its benefits in this paper.
