GPS Fundamentals
Introduction
Navigation is a art of science of conducting an aircraft/vehicle
from one point to another point.
Surveillance tells the air traffic controller where the pilot is.

Atmospheric Errors
Signal propagates through Ionosphere and Troposphere
Ionosphere extends from 70 – 1000 km.
Troposphere extends up to 20 km from the ground level
Ionospheric delay is freq. Dependent and can be removed by
dual freq. Receiver
Kloubuchar model gives 50% of the delay
Trophospheric delay is independent of frequency
I t consists of dry component and Wet component
Tropospheric delay can be successfully modeled
Models by Hopfield, Black and Saastamonien are successful

GPS Measurements
Basic Functions Of GPS Receiver
Capture the RF signals by GPS Satellites
Separate the signals from satellites in view.
Measure transit time and Doppler shift.
Estimate the user position, velocity and time
Determine the satellite position, velocity
and clock parameters.
The composite GPS signal transmitted by the
satellite
complete signal leaving the satellite antennas can be represented
where
Ac and Ap = amplitudes of the C/A and P code modulations

Sub-frames 1, 2 and 3 will have identical data on all 25
pages.
Satellite’s memory sufficient to 14 days of uploaded
navigation data.
Desired Properties of GPS Signals
Tolerance to signals from other GPS satellites sharing the
same frequency band; i.e., multiple access capability

Receiver
Time deference
Apparent transit time of the signal from satellite to the receiver
is measured.
ρ(t) = c[tu(t) - ts(t-τ)]
Both the receiver and satellite clocks can have biases with
respect to GPS Time
tu(t) = t + δtu(t)
ts(t-τ) = (t-τ) + δts(t-τ)
δtu(t) and δts(t-τ) are the receiver and satellite
clock biases with respect to GPS Time.
ρ = r + c[δtu − δt s ] + I p + Tp + ε p
Where
φ (t ) == φPhase −φ
u (t )of (t − τ ) + N
thes receiver generatedcarrier
φu (t ) = Phase of the carrier transmitted by the satellite
φs (tN− τ )= Whole number of carrier cycles that can’t be
measured
Writing phase (in cycles) in terms of freq. and time
φ (t ) = f ×τ + N = r (t ) / λ + N
Ionopsheric and satellite orbit errors are two of the major drivers of
the differential concept, because they are correlated over large
distances.
