Reliability Performance in Gps Receivers and the Nature of Their Failures: Planning to Live with Realistic Failure Rates in Satellite Navigation System Receivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The National Air Traffic Services (NATS) in London require data on the performance likely to be achieved by the navigation system on board aircraft flying in UK airspace. To that end the performance of three different GPS receiver types (all designed for aviation use) has been examined. This paper details the result of that work. The achieved Mean Time Between Failures (referred to here as “Outages”) MTBO is presented along with the nature of some of the failures that have been encountered. The paper concludes with the operational implication of the findings.

Iranian Permanent GPS Network Receivers Differential Code Biases Estimation Using Global Ionospheric Maps
Measurements of the dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used to calculate the electron density and the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere layer of the Earth atmosphere. TEC is a key parameter for investigating the ongoing spatial and temporal physical process of the ionosphere. For accurate estimation of TEC from GPS measurements, GPS satellites and GPS r...

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...

Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...

Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP) is a coefficient for constellations of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. These satellites are organized geometrically. Traditionally, GPS GDOP computation is based on the inversion matrix with complicated measurement equations. A new strategy for calculation of GPS GDOP is construction of time series problem; it employs machine learning and artif...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 ...
