D) and Department of Transportation (Do. T) agree to provide a second civil GPS frequency • March 1998 - VP Gore announces IGEB decision to implement two new civil signals • January 1999 - VP Gore announces third civil signal frequency selection - 1176. 45 MHz 2

Background (continued) • February 1999 - IGEB Third Civil Signal Implementation Steering Group formed

Background (continued) • February 1999 - IGEB Third Civil Signal Implementation Steering Group formed – Established relationship between IGEB and RTCA for development of L 5 signal requirements • November 1999 - IGEB report Implementation of a Third Civil GPS Signal completed – Recommended implementing L 5 with: • 6 d. B higher minimum received signal power than L 1 C/A code • 10. 23 Mchip/second spreading codes on quadrature channels (no data on one channel) – Other recommendations regarding coexistence of L 5 with existing systems operating at/near 1176. 45 MHz • Link 16 • Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)/Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) 3
