The main objective of the common GPS and Galileo signal design activity was that the [[power spectral density]] (PSD) of the proposed solution would be identical for GPS L1C and Galileo E1 OS signals when the pilot and data components are computed together.<ref name="NAVIPEDIA_MBOC"/> This assures high interoperability between both signals.

MBOC has two main implementations, the [[Composite Binary Offset Carrier]] (CBOC) implementation, currently used in [[Galileo (satellite navigation)|Galileo]], and the Time-Multiplexed Binary Offset Carrier (TMBOC), currently used in the modernized [[GPS]] L1C signal.
