OSITIONINGYSTEM
WHAT IS GPS?• Satellite based
navigation system.
• Based on a constellation of about 24 satellites
• Developed by the United States Department of Defense (DOD)
WHAT IS GPS?
• Can provide accurate positioning 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world.
• No subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
• GPS satellites also called NAVSTAR, the official U.S. DOD name for GPS

HOW GPS DETERMINES A LOCATION
HOW GPS DETERMINES A LOCATIONThings which need to be determined: • Current Locations of GPS Satellites
• The Distance Between Receiver’s Position and the GPS Satellites
CURRENT LOCATIONS OF GPS SATELLITES
• GPS satellites are orbiting the earth at an altitude of 11,000 miles.
• The orbits, and the locations of the satellites, are known in advance.
• GPS receivers store this orbit information for all of the GPS satellites in an ALMANAC*.
* THE ALMANAC IS A FILE WHICH CONTAINS POSITIONAL INFORMATION FOR ALL OF THE GPS SATELLITES
• All 24 satellites are divided into 6 parts.
• There are 4 satellites in each part.
• A definite orbit is defined for each part.
• Each of these 3,000- to 4,000-pound solar-powered satellites.
DISTANCE BETWEEN RECEIVER’S POSITION & THE GPS SATELLITES• By measuring the amount of time taken by
radio signal (the GPS signal) to travel from the satellite to the receiver.
• Radio waves travel at the speed of light, i.e. about 186,000 miles per second.
• The distance from the satellite to the receiver can be determined by the formula “distance = speed x time”.
GPS ERROR BUDGET
Different errors can cause a deviation of +/- 50 -100 meters from the actual GPS receiver position which are :
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS:
• Speed of GPS signal is affected by ionosphere & troposphere.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 30 m. from the actual position of receiver.
EPHEMERIS ERRORS:
• The predicted changes in the orbit of a satellite.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 5 m. from the actual position of receiver
CLOCK DRIFT:
• Due to different code generations in satellite and receiver simultaneously.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 1.5 m. from the actual position of receiver
MULTIPATH:
• Bouncing of GPS signal due to a reflecting surface before reaching to receiver antenna.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 1 m. from the actual position of receiver
MEASURING GPS ACCURACY
The geometry of the constellation is evaluated by Dilution Of Precision, or DOP.
DOP
INCREASING ACCURACY OF GPS
• Differential correction provides accuracy within 1-5 m.
• Coarse Acquisition receiver provides accuracy within 1-5m.
• Carrier Phase receivers provides accuracy within 10-30 cm.
• Dual-Frequency receivers are capable of providing sub-centimeter GPS position accuracy.
