Abstract:Purpose for this briefing: ; -Discuss SVN-49 signal problem with GPS community ; -Provide information on potential mitigations ; -Present way forward for SVN-49 ; Background: ; -SVN-49 unlike other GPS IIR Satellites had L5 R&D Demonstration Payload ; --Demo payload made use of Auxiliary Payload port ; -No impact on L1 and L2 signals was intended or expected ; -“Out of family” elevation angle dependent Pseudo Range Residuals (PRR) seen at monitor stations and by other GNSS users world-wide ; -Root cause studied and established ; --Signals reflecting off L5 filter and transmitted through satellite antenna ; -Result is permanent, static multipath signal within satellite ; -Signal distortion is user elevation angle dependent ; --Little or no distortion at low elevation angle ; -Signal distortion impacts receivers differently depending on unique designs ; -Non IS-GPS-200 compliant receivers greatly complicate the issue ; -Varying impacts prevent a single solution for all forms of user equipment ; Current Status: ; -SVN-49 set unhealthy but still operated as part of GPS constellation ; -Control segment parameters temporarily adjusted to allow 2SOPS to continue to include SVN-49 in operational constellation (152 meter antenna phase center offset) ; -Will permanently modify Kalman Filter to accommodate SVN-49 without impacting users ; -GPSW and 50 SW exploring additional mitigation steps and eliciting user feedback ; -Potential mitigation steps include ; --Increase SVN-49 User Range Accuracy (URA) – change bits in GPS data message that allow user equipment to de-weight or exclude SVN-49 signals ; --Change SVN-49 PRN code to one outside range used by current user equipment ; --Modify SVN-49 signal configurations to mitigate impact to high precision users ; --Leave vehicle unhealthy but usable by some users by adjusting bits in nav message
