Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying is now seen as a true three dimensional tool and GPS heighting can be a viable alternative to other more conventional forms of height measurement. This paper examines the limitations and possibilities of GPS heighting. The first part of the paper details the limitations of GPS heighting, including those factors that affect the GPS height measurement its...

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 e...
