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 when the pilot and data components are computed together.<ref name="NAVIPEDIA_MBOC"/> This assures high interoperability between both signals. Its [[power spectral density]] <math>\Phi(f)</math> is defined by <ref>[http://www.losangeles.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-070803-061.pdf Agreement06]</ref>
