Standard Positioning Performance Evaluation of a Single-Frequency GPS Receiver Implementing Ionospheric and Tropospheric Error Corrections
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
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 Klobuchar correction model, while for troposphere error mitigation the Hopfield correction model is used. Real GPS measurements were gathered using a single frequency receiver and post–processed by our proposed adaptive positioning algorithm. The integrated Klobuchar and Hopfield error correction models yeild a considerable reduction of the vertical error. The positioning algorithm automatically combines all available GPS pseudorange measurements when more than four satellites are in use. Experimental results show that improved standard positioning is achieved after error mitigation.
