Passive Altimeter Study Using Gps Flight Data (preprint)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software GPS receiver results are presented for an overland, passive altimeter application utilizing GPS signals. The flight data were collected using a DC-3 aircraft operated by Ohio University. The flight took place over southeast Ohio, where the terrain is hilly and forested. The GPS receiver on board the aircraft contains two channels. One channel has a right-hand-circular-

Estimation and Analysis of Precipitable Water Vapor Using GPS Data and Satellite Altimeter
Determination of water vapor in the atmosphere plays an important role in forecasting weather conditions and precipitation studies. For this reason, it is very important to study the tropospheric delay, especially the wet component, which is due to the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere. In this paper, the amount of water vapor was estimated by altimeter satellite radiometer and GPS data...
متن کاملPresented at SatNav 2003
This paper presents the results of augmenting an INS/GPS navigation system with a barometric altimeter for an autonomous Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The INS/GPS system was designed using a loosely coupled integration architecture that incorporates the GPS navigation solution. The GPS typically has a poor accuracy in the vertical channel due to satellite geometry and atmospheric effects. E...
متن کاملA New Vision-Based and GPS-Signal-Independent Approach in Jamming Detection and UAV Absolute Positioning Assessment
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) positioning in the outdoor environment is usually done by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Due to the low power of the GPS signal at the earth surface, its performance disrupted in the contaminated environments with the jamming attacks. The UAV positioning and its accuracy using GPS will be degraded in the jamming attacks. A positioning error about tens of...
متن کاملThe Georgia Tech Unmanned Aerial Research Vehicle: GTMax
This paper describes the design, development, and operation of a research Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system that has been developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, called the GTMax. This description will include the processes put in place to enable the system to be used for UAV-technology research, including effective flight testing. Research UAVs are characterized by the need for co...
متن کاملWAAS-Aided Flight Inspection Truth System
The FAA currently uses its Automated Flight Inspection System (AFIS) to check the accuracy of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and other navaids. It is desirable to measure the deviations of the ILS to within 0.015 degree accuracy. Therefore, a flight inspection system requires a high level of accuracy in determining position which is computed by a Flight Inspection Truth System (FITS). The AFI...
