Another first: On the afternoon of Friday October 29, 2010, JAVAD GNSS engineers in Moscow tracked Japan's first QZSS satellite and its new L1C signal, as we reported earlier.

We update our report by presenting C/A, L2C, L5, SAIF and the new L1C signals that were collected on Nov 10, 2010 from 02.00 till 12.00 UTC, when QZSS-1 satellite was visible in Moscow. QZSS is the first satellite which transmits new L1C signal.

All of the current JAVAD GNSS receivers, including OEM boards, ALPHA, DELTA, SIGMA, TRIUMPH-1 and TRIUMPH-VS can track QZSS signals with a software update. The software upgrade may be released as early as next week.

Figures below show "SNR" and "code-minus-phase" plots for all the above signals
