Finds inspiration by traveling to Works of Antoni Gaudí. Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) modulation currently used in Galileo is a square sub-carrier modulation, where a signal is multiplied by a rectangular sub-carrier of frequency $f_{sc}$ equal or higher to the chip (CDMA) rate. Following this sub-carrier multiplication, the spectrum of the signal is divided into two parts, therefore BOC modulation is also known as a split-spectrum modulation.

The main idea behind BOC modulation is to reduce the interference with BPSK-modulated signal, which has a sinc function shaped spectrum. Therefore, BPSK-modulated signals such as C/A GPS codes have most of their spectral energy concentrated around the carrier frequency, while BOC-modulated signals (used in Galileo system) have low energy around the carrier frequency and two main spectral lobes further away from the carrier (thus, the name of split-spectrum).

BOC modulation has several variants: sine BOC (SinBOC), cosine BOC (CosBOC) Alternative BOC (AltBOC), multiplexed BOC (MBOC), Double BOC (DBOC) etc. and some of them have been currently selected for Galileo GNSS signals.

A BOC waveform is typically denoted via BOC(m,n) or BOC$(f_{sc}\;,f_{c})$, where $f_{sc}$ is the sub-carrier frequency, $f_{c}$ is the chip frequency, $m=f_{sc}/f_{ref}$, $n=f_{c}/f_{ref}$, and $f_{ref}=1.023$ Mcps is the reference chip frequency of C/A GPS signal.

A sine BOC(1,1) modulation is similar to Manchester code, that is, in digital domain, a '+1' is encoded as a '+1 −1' sequence, and a '0' is encoded as a '−1 +1' sequence. For an arbitrary $N_{BOC}=2m/n$ modulation order, in sine BOC(m,n) case, a '+1' is encoded as an alternating sequence of '+1 −1 +1 −1 +1 ...', having $N_{BOC}$ elements, and a '0' (or '−1') is encoded as an alternating '−1 +1 ...' sequence, also having $N_{BOC}$ elements.

BOC modulation is typically applied on CDMA signals, where each chip of the pseudorandom code is split into BOC sub-intervals, as explained above (i.e., there are $N_{BOC}$ BOC intervals per chip).

The power spectral density of a BOC-modulated signal depends on the BOC modulation order $N_{BOC}=2{\frac {f_{sc}}{f_{c}}}=2{\frac {m}{n}}$ and its derivation can be found, for example, in
