An Experimental Identification of Multipath Effect in GPS Positioning Error

Abstract

The analysis of the GPS multipath effects in maritime environment is constrained with the practice of traditional GPS receiver design, that prevents access to GPS signals in Base-band Processing Domain. Here we propose and validate a simple method for experimental identification of multipath effect in Navigation Processing Domain, based on spectral characterisation of time series of GPS positioning errors.
