Abstract

The successful launch of two new-generation satellites of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), named BeiDou M1-S and BeiDou M2-S, marks another step in expanding BeiDou into a navigation system with global coverage. An initial characterization and analysis of the navigation signals transmitted by BeiDou M2-S is presented. For data collection, a 7.3-m high-gain antenna of the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) ground station in Changsha (China) has been used to record the signal spectrum and the modulated chip sequences. Based on a prototype receiver, code and phase observations of BeiDou M2-S have also been collected for further analysis. The signal quality and performance of this new-generation BDS satellite are described and analyzed; a backward compatibility with older-generation satellite signals is shown.
