Figure 32: Galileo E5 bI/bQ subframe words

Alert pages are reported in very similar manner, but the page type bits will have value 1 and the
structure of the eight words will be slightly diﬀerent (as indicated by the Galileo ICD).

3.13.1.6 SBAS

For SBAS (L1C/A) signals each reported subframe contains eight 32 data words to deliver the 250
bits transmitted in each SBAS data block.

The eight words are arranged as follows:

UBX-18010802 - R08
