One of the instruments for determination of position used in several applications is the Global Positioning System (GPS). With a cheap GPS receiver, we can easily find the approximate position of an object. Accuracy estimation depends on some parameters such as dilution of precision, atmospheric error, receiver noise, and multipath. In this study, position accuracy with GPS receiver is classifi...

as functional integration has increased in hand-held consumer devices features such as global positioning system (gps) receivers have been embedded in increasingly more devices in recent years. for example, the train positioning system based on gps provides an integrated positioning solution which can be used in many rail applications without a cost intensive infrastructure. the network built i...

The Chinese BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) aims to provide global positioning service by 2020. The combined use of BDS and Global Positioning System (GPS) is proposed to provide navigation service with more stringent requirements. Actual satellite data, signals and measurements were collected for more than one month to analyze the positioning service qualities from both BDS and GPS. I...

Seasonal variation in habitat selection by the mountain goat Oreamnos americanus is not well understood due to the difficulties of monitoring animal movement in all months of the year. The use of global positioning system (GPS) wildlife telemetry collars offers an opportunity to overcome this obstacle, however satellite acquisition problems associated with GPS wildlife telemetry collars create ...

The global positioning system (GPS) is one of the most important and useful technology that has been developed for information and communication technology. The propagated wireless signals along GPS link are affected by the ionospheric electron density irregularities, so the GPS signals may experience amplitude and phase fluctuations. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) ionospheric sc...

Benefits from the modernized US Global Positioning System (GPS), the revitalized Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), and the newly-developed Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and European Galileo, multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has emerged as a powerful tool not only in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), but also in remote ...

Proper modeling of the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite yaw attitude is important in high-precision applications. A new model for the GPS satellite yaw attitude is introduced that constitutes a significant improvement over the previously available model in terms of efficiency, flexibility, and portability. The model is described in detail, and implementation issues, including the prope...

The global positioning system (GPS) provides accurate positioning and timing information useful in many applications. An adaptive lattice predictor for the anti-jamming purpose will be proposed. The adaptive filter is applied here to accurately predict the narrowband waveform based on an effective and computationally efficient stochastic-gradient algorithm. Simulation results show that our prop...
