This paper analyzes and evaluates the observation quality of new signals B1C and B2a broadcasted by the 12 new Beidou-3 MEO satellites on the observation data integrity rate, multipath error, pseudorange noise and carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) compared with GPS and GALILEO. The results show that the observation data integrity rate of B1C signal is better than that of B2a signal in the Beidou-3 system. In the aspects of multipath error, pseudorange noise and CNR, B2a signal are better than B1C. The performances of the 12 MEO satellites of Beidou-3 are equivalent, that is, Beidou-3 the consistency of satellites can be guatenteed. In terms of pseudo-range noise, Beidou-3 is slightly worse than GPS and GALILEO While the observation data integrity rate, multipath error and CNR of Beidou-3 are equivalent to GPS and GALILEO. %U http://www.adearth.ac.cn/EN/abstract/article_4494.shtml
