“…The E5 band signal of Galileo navigation system is a group of signals with the above characteristics, as shown in Figure 3. It consists of two signal bands of the E5a and the E5b, which are broadcast at two center frequencies of 1176.45 MHz and 1207.14 MHz, respectively [50,51]. Both E5a and E5b consist of two-phase quadrature components, and the alternate binary offset carrier (ALT-BOC) technique is used to joint the E5a signal and the E5b signal into one constant envelope signal.…”

The bistatic global navigation satellite system’s (GNSS) signal reflection technology has become an effective means of space-based sea surface wind field retrieval and height retrieval. By adopting a wider signal bandwidth, a higher pulse-limited footprint resolution can be achieved. However, for the GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) system, its signal bandwidth is affected by the signal bandwidth of the GNSS satellite, which limits the further improvement of the pulse-limited footprint resolution. This article proposes a method based on the novel signal bandwidth joint principle to improve the resolution of GNSS-R pulse-limited footprints. Firstly, currently in-orbit GNSS-R satellites use the traditional single frequency band (TSFB) method, which is limited by the GNSS satellite’s signals and has a theoretical upper limit on its signal bandwidth. In response to this issue, this article proposes the novel joint bandwidth (NJBW) method (Galileo E5a and E5b signals) based on the auto-correlation function (ACF) signal ambiguity theory. The NJBW method reduces the main lobe width of the ACF of the GNSS-R signal by jointly processing the signals of E5a and E5b frequency bands, thus improving the pulse-limit footprint resolution of GNSS-R. Secondly, in order to verify the improvement effect of the novel joint bandwidth method on the pulse-limited footprint resolution of GNSS-R, this paper designs and fabricates an NJBW antenna verification prototype for the joint Galileo E5a and E5b frequency band and tests it in a microwave anechoic chamber. The test results indicate that the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of the NJBW antenna validation prototype can cover both the frequency bands of E5a and E5b, making it suitable for use as the NJBW method for the GNSS-R receiving antenna. The bandwidth test values of the NJBW antenna validation prototype are consistent with the design values, which verifies the correctness of the NJBW antenna design model and further proves the feasibility of the NJBW method. Thirdly, based on the joint Galileo E5a and E5b frequency band signals, the NJBW method was applied to analyze the improvement effect of the pulse-limited footprint resolution. Compared to the TSFB method, the application of the NJBW method can increase the resolution of the GNSS-R pulse-limiting footprint by 1.73 times, which effectively improves the performance of the GNSS-R system. The NJBW method proposed in this article provides the theoretical method foundation and key technical support for sea surface wind field retrieval and height retrieval and the antenna design for the future high-precision and high pulse-limited footprint resolution GNSS-R sea surface wind field retrieval and height retrieval verification satellite.
