Dual-Constellation Live L5 Tracking20/04/2009 |
| With the launch of the first GPS satellite transmitting signals on L5, researchers and other GNSS specialists interested in evaluating and monitoring GPS and Galileo signals on 2 common frequencies, can now perform tests with live signals from both constellations on L1 and L5/E5a using off-the-shelf commercial GNSS receivers from Septentrio. |

Septentrio receivers are successfully tracking the new L5 signal transmitted from GPS satellite SVN49. This IIR-M satellite was launched on 24th March 2009 and carries a demonstration payload capable of transmitting the new L5 signal, in addition to the standard L1/L2 payload. The satellite started transmitting in the L1 and L2 band on 28th March, shortly after having been boosted to its quasi-circular orbit. The turn-on of the demonstration L5 signal occurred on Friday 10th April around 11:58 UTC.
Septentrio receivers are now successfully tracking a total of 5 signals broadcast by SVN49: L1-CA, L1-P(Y), L2-P(Y), L2C and, last but not least, L5. Septentrio offers a special firmware adapted to track the L5 test signal on the standard commercial platform PolaRx3G.
Additionally, these same receivers are capable of tracking Galileo signals in the L1 and L5-band, offering opportunities for the first ever dual-frequency GPS/Galileo trials using signals in the same frequency bands.
