CaptainSlow Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 GPS signals are very low data rate CDMA. So, the spreading gain between the data rate and the signal bandwidth is massive. DBS signals do not have that advantage. AJ Interesting. Just out of curiosity, what is the typical bandwidth and chip rate for GPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsutch Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Interesting. Just out of curiosity, what is the typical bandwidth and chip rate for GPS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System#Message_format L1 and L2 signal bit rate is 50 bits/sec, encoded with a CDMA chip rate of ~10.23 million chips/sec. The bandwidth is apparently about 30 MHz centered on the L1 center frequency of 1575.42 MHz, with most of the C/A code's energy at the center while the P (legacy military) code is more spread out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSlow Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) ^ Thanks, that's a lot of de-spreading gain, especially for the military version. Edited August 24, 2014 by CaptainSlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
