The EGNOS Signal In Space format is compliant with the ICAO SARPs for SBAS. The EGNOS SIS interface characteristics comprise carrier and modulation radio frequency, message structure, protocol and content of the EGNOS message.


The EGNOS signal is broadcast by two Inmarsat-3 satellites – one positioned east of the Atlantic, and the other above Africa – and by ESA’s  Artemis satellite, which is also above Africa. These three satellites’ orbits are in the equatorial plane, at three different longitudes, with each able to broadcast EGNOS services across the whole ECAC area.<ref name=" EGNOS User Guide for Developers">[http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/satnav/egnos/files/brochures-leaflets/egnos-user-guide_en.pdf  EGNOS User Guide for Developers]</ref>

Unlike the GPS and GLONASS satellites, these three space platforms carry no signal generators. They are fitted with a transponder which does nothing more than relay the signal processed on the ground and sent into space.
 
EGNOS is fully interoperable with the GPS system, which is currently being modernized to take into account new civil signals on the L5 frequency band that GPS will be transmitting and future Galileo signals.

==EGNOS SIS RF Characteristics==
 
The EGNOS GEO satellites transmit right-hand circularly polarised (RHCP) signals in
the L band at 1575.42 MHz (L1). The broadcast signal is a combination of a 1023-bit
PRN navigation code of the GPS family and a 250 bits per second navigation data
message carrying the corrections and integrity data elaborated by the EGNOS ground
segment.
 
This raw navigation message is ½ convolutional encoded with Forward Error Correcting (FEC) Code resulting in a 500 symbol/second EGNOS data stream.

A range of signal generators were developed in the GNSS Industry as a means to provide flexible platforms for the
 
These products allow to select specific navigation satellite systems, to define influencing error sources,  to choose signal frequency and modulations schemes as well as the RF Front end and filter characteristics.
 
The purpose of this generators is to evaluate acquisition and tracking algorithms or receiver HW, to design multipath and interference mitigation strategies. They are easy to integrate on user test environments
