Mitigating Gnss Positioning Errors Due to Atmospheric Signal Delays
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are some fundamental limitations on positioning accuracy using satellite navigation technique. Several sources of errors limit the accuracy of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning. The errors due to the earth’s atmosphere have the largest value and must be significantly reduced in order to achieve more precise positioning results. The GNSS-based determination of the position is based on the very accurate measurement of the satellite radio signal propagation time between the satellite and the GNSS receiver aerials. GNSS signals change the propagation speed and direction as they pass through the atmosphere on their path from the satellite to the receiver, causing positioning errors. The article deals with the methods for reducing positioning errors due to the satellite signal propagation through the earth’s atmosphere.

Evaluation of Geometric and Atmospheric Doppler for GNSS-RO Payloads
To reduce the sampling rate in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-radio occultation receivers, it is essential to establish a suitable estimation of Doppler frequency from the received signal in the satellite onboard receiver. This receiver is usually located on low earth orbit satellite and receives GNSS satellites signal in the occultation situation. The occurred Doppler on the signal ...
متن کاملPropagation delays induced in GPS signals by dry air, water vapor, hydrometeors, and other particulates
Dry air, water vapor, hydrometeors, and other particulates (sand, dust, aerosols, and volcanic ash) in the atmosphere introduce microwave propagation delays. These delays must be properly characterized to achieve the highest accuracy in surveying and atmospheric sensing using Global Positioning System (GPS) signals. In this paper we review the theory of microwave propagation delays induced by t...

The effect of troposphere on the signals emitted from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites, appears as an extra delay in the measurement of the signal traveling from the satellite to receiver. This delay depends on the temperature, pressure, humidity as well as the transmitter and receiver antennas location. In GNSS positioning, tropospheric delay effects on accuracy of differen...
