Abstract
A method for generating a global positioning signal from a space based craft including the steps of generating a plurality of binary modulating signals using a waveform generator; separately modulating an in-phase component of a desired carrier of the global positioning signal to be generated with at least a first binary, modulating signal selected from the plurality to generate at least one corresponding in-phase modulated signal component; separately modulating a quadrature component of the carrier with at least a second binary modulating signal selected from the plurality to generate at least one corresponding quadrature modulated signal component; and, combining the at least one in-phase modulated signal component and the at least one quadrature modulated signal component to generate the global positioning signal; wherein the global positioning signal has a constant envelope.
