Description

On this page you will find all EGNOS Signal Structure category related articles on Navipedia.

A full introductory article can be read here.


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.[1]

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 Interface Characteristics

The EGNOS Signal In Space format is compliant with the ICAO SARPs for SBAS.

EGNOS SIS RF Characteristics

GPS/SBAS Signal Generators

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

Some of the most representative product manufacturers are Spirent[1] and Novatel[2].
