Abstract

Non classical signals, signals not made of rectangular shaped pulses, are being analyzed as possible candidates for the next generation of GNSS signals. One such a signal is the filtered multi-tone (FMT) which is a multi-carrier signal (MC) having a MC-DS-CDMA structure: each subcarrier transports a classical GNSS signal but without using rectangular shaped pulses. Some studies have been conducted on the FMT signal performances such as the out-of-band (OOB) emission and multipath resistance. However, due to its MC nature, the distribution of the transmitted data onto the different subcarriers becomes a relevant factor to take into account on the final signal design. In this paper, different data distributions are proposed in order to enhance different signal performance and the receiver structure associated to each data distribution is also analyzed.
