Galileo E1
1575.42 MHz
The European Galileo constellation's primary open-service civil signal, broadcast on the same 1575.42 MHz carrier as GPS L1 to support combined GPS/Galileo receivers. Publicly documented in the Galileo Open Service Signal-in-Space Interface Control Document maintained by the European GNSS Service Centre; relevant anywhere a multi-constellation GNSS picture (not GPS alone) needs to be considered.
