GPS Antenna Height and Its Influence on Pseudorange Multipath
نویسنده
چکیده
The GPS antenna is the connecting component between the GPS satellite and the GPS receiver. Its function is to transfer the satellite signal propagation to the receiver with minimum interruption. A satisfactory process is expected to result in an accurate and reliable performance of the GPS receiver. Multipath error is a dominant error source connected with GPS positioning. Mitigation of such errors can be achieved by improving signal processing and a better antenna design.

Multipath and Interference Errors Reduction in Gps Using Antenna Arrays
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide satellite based positioning system that provides any user with tridimensional position, speed and time information. The measured pseudorange is affected by the multipath propagation, which probably is the major source of errors for high precision systems. After a presentation of the GPS and the basic techniques employed to perform pseudorange m...
متن کاملPseudorange Multipath Mitigation By Means of Multipath Monitoring and De-Weighting
The management of pseudorange multipath in GPS software processing ranges from total ignorance of the phenomenon to complex schemes for the estimation of the multipath signal. The former can cause significant parameter estimation degradation and the latter cannot necessarily provide accurate estimates. Therefore an alternative method is proposed here, which includes endeavouring to monitor the ...

Multipath remains a significant error source to the GPS user even when employing a receiver and antenna designed for multipath rejection. This study evaluated data processing methods to further remove pseudorange multipath from observations collected by a GPS reference station using multipath-resistant hardware. Both templateand surface-based empirical models were implemented as batch processes...

Multipath is detrimental for both GPS positioning and timing applications. However, the benefits of GPS multipath for reflectometry have become increasingly clear for soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation growth monitoring. Most multipath forward models focus on the code modulation, adopting arbitrary values for the reflection power, phase, and delay, or they calculate the reflection delay ...

Multipath is detrimental for both GPS positioning and timing applications. However, the benefits of GPS multipath for reflectometry have become increasingly clear for monitoring soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation growth. In positioning applications, a simulator can support multipath mitigation efforts in terms of, e.g., site selection, antenna design, receiver performance assessment, and...
