GIOVE-B E1 CBOC Signal Quality AssessmentGIOVE-B has been in orbit for just over one year. How well is it performing? In particular, what can we say about one of GIOVE-B’s pioneering features: its E1 CBOC signal? In this month’s column, we take a detailed look at a particular monitoring and assessment program set up to examine the GIOVE-B signals and discuss some of its initial CBOC results. The successful operation of this program bodes well for its use in future validation campaigns.
