Abstract

The Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) L-band downlink signal from a radar viewpoint is studied. The signal is modelled and its ambiguity function (AF) is analysed and the AF is compared with that of the real recorded signal. It is shown that the AF of a single Inmarsat channel has an interference floor of −40 dB for 80 ms integration time. The AF of the Inmarsat BGAN signal is improved by combining multiple frequency channels with channel overlap.
