The current frequency filings [Compass ITU Filing] [1] for radio bands made by China to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) indicate that it would overlay both the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) and the military GPS M-code at E1/L1, as well as in the L2 band. Given the importance of these protected signals and bands, we describe next in detail the intended signal plan of Compass. Since the use that China plans to do with Compass is still unclear, the spectra will be plotted in the next figures in grey to underline this fact.
Compass B1 Band
Although not all the technical aspects of the Compass signals in B1 are defined yet, an envisaged signal waveform has already been submitted to the ITU [Compass ITU Filing] [1]. Next figure shows the spectral details of the studied option in the B1 and B1-2 bands.
As also done in previous chapters, in order to have a better overview of all the GNSS signals around the Compass B1 band, next figure depicts the spectral environment:
It is important to note that the GPS L1C pilot and data signals are shown in quadrature in the figure although according to [GPS ICD-800][2] the final phasing is still to be decided. To conclude some technical characteristics of the Compass B1 signals are given next:
Table 1: Compass B1 signal characteristics [Compass ITU Filing] [1].
Compass B2 Band
Similar to the B1 band, not all the technical aspects of the Compass signals in B2 have been defined yet. Nonetheless a proposed signal waveform has already been submitted to the ITU [Compass ITU Filing] [1]. Next figure shows the spectral details of the studied option.
As also done for the rest of GNSS bands, we show in the next figure all the systems together.
To conclude, some technical characteristics on the Compass B2 signals are presented more in detail in the next table:
Table 2: Compass B2 signal technical characteristics [Compass ITU Filing] [1].
Compass B3 Band
Finally, the spectral characteristics of the Compass B3 signals are also shown here. Similar to the B1 and B2 bands, not all the technical aspects of the Compass signals are defined yet. Next figure shows the Power Spectral densities of the proposed Compass signals in B3:
In order to have a better insight on how the Galileo E6 – Compass B3 band looks like, the following figure presents all the planned signals together.
To conclude, some technical characteristics on the Compass B3 signals are provided next [Compass ITU Filing] [1].
