Analysis and Mitigation of Tropospheric Error Effect on GPS Positioning Using Real GPS Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The GPS (Global Positioning System) is used for navigation and positioning purposes by a diverse set of users. The navigation solution provided by a commercial GPS receiver is subject to errors contributed by various sources. These sources of errors in GPS navigation (e.g. satellite clock, receiver clock, atmospheric and multipath errors etc.) induce biases in the measurement of pseudo range and degrade system accuracy. In the current research endeavor the atmospheric and troposphere error sources and its impact on GPS position accuracy is critically analyzed. In this regard a tropospheric error correction model is simulated on real captured GPS data and results are analyzed.

مدل سازی خطای تروپوسفری برای مشاهدات تعیین موقعیت ماهوارهای
In this paper a practical method for tropospheric effects on GPS derived coordinates in absolute mode is presented. GPS observations at the permanent GPS stations can be used as source of information for the modeling. The developed model is a time-dependent model and as such differs from usual tropospheric models, which are based on atmospheric parameters, i.e. temperature, pressure and humidit...
متن کاملStandard Positioning Performance Evaluation of a Single-Frequency GPS Receiver Implementing Ionospheric and Tropospheric Error Corrections
This paper evaluates the positioning performance of a single-frequency software GPS receiver using Ionospheric and Tropospheric corrections. While a dual-frequency user has the ability to eliminate the ionosphere error by taking a linear combination of observables, a single-frequency user must remove or calibrate this error by other means. To remove the ionosphere error we take advantage of the...
متن کاملMitigation of Tropospheric Delay on InSAR Interseismic Displacements
One of the major challenges of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique is the existence of tropospheric effect on the results. The tropospheric effect is due to the changes of atmospheric parameters including temperature, pressure, and humidity between the master and slave images. In this research, two different methods based on spatial-temporal filters and calculation of pha...
متن کاملInvestigation of MODIS mission capability in tropospheric delay estimation for precise point positioning
Tropospheric delay is always considered as one of the factors limiting the accuracy of GPS. In this paper, the three-dimensional ray tracing technique is proposed to calculate the tropospheric delay. The ability of the MODIS mission to calculate the tropospheric delay is also examined. For this purpose, an area in central Europe was selected and a MODIS acquisition on 2008/08/01 was studied. In...
متن کاملImprovement in Differential GPS Accuracy using Kalman Filter
Global Positioning System (GPS) is proven to be an accurate positioning sensor. However, there are several sources of errors such as ionosphere and troposphere effects, satellite time errors, errors of orbit data, receivers errors, and errors resulting from multi-path effect which reduce the accuracy of low-cost GPS receivers. These sources of errors also limit the use of single-frequency GPS r...
