A GPS Signal Transmission Model for Improved Single Antenna Attitude Determination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subsequent sections present a new single antenna attitude system based on signal strength. By incorporating a precisely measured spherical antenna gain pattern and a GPS transmission model, attitude can be estimated using a least square search. Finally, the improved attitude system is analysed by comparing to previous results. This paper concludes that further analysis is required for modelling the transmission path, particularly for the ionosphere and the GPS transmitting antenna gain.

Attitude Sensing Using a Global-positioning-system Antenna on a Turntable
A new attitude sensor is proposed that consists of a single global positioning system (GPS) antenna mounted on a turntable with its phase center offset from the turntable's spin axis. It is being considered as a means of sensing 3-axis attitude information. It is attractive because its GPS receiver could have a low number of channels and, therefore, be smaller and use less power. The system sen...

متن کاملPredictive Attitude Estimation Using Global Positioning System Signals
In this paper, a new algorithm is developed for attitude estimation using Global Positioning System (GPS) signals. The new algorithm is based on a predictive filtering scheme designed for spacecraft without rate measuring devices. The major advantage of this new algorithm over traditional Kalman filter approaches is that the model error is not assumed to represented by an unbiased Gaussian nois...
