Niche Use Cases
Satellites
These schemes are developed for satellites.
They use analog signals to carry digital data.
Note
Synthesized BOC (SBOC) is used in NavIC satellites.
Similarly,
- Composite BOC (CBOC) is used in Galileo
- Time-Multiplexed BOC (TMBOC) is used in GPS L1C
- Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) / Split-Spectrum Modulation
- Sine BOC (sinBOC)
- Cosine BOC (cosBOC)
- Alternate BOC (altBOC)
- Double BOC (DBOC)
- Multiplexed BOC (MBOC)
- Composite BOC (CBOC)
- Time-multiplexed BOC (TMBOC)
- Synthesized BOC (SBOC)
Notes
Binary Offset Carrier
See the Wikipedia page: Binary Offset Carrier | Wikipedia
Multiplexed BOC
Multiplexed BOC combines a sinBOC(1,1) signal with a sinBOC(6,1) signal, via either of CBOC or TMBOC Implemenation.
Synthesized BOC
Synthesized BOC Modulation Scheme is a non-linear combining method to generate constant envelope composite signal with MBOC (6,1,1/11) PSD.
It's performance is similar to CBOC and TMBOC
