  1. The Global Positioning SystemAdvanced Tools

  2. Sources of GPS Error • Standard Positioning Service (SPS ): • Selective Availability: 0 to 100 meters • Ionosphere: 5.0 to 7.0 meters • Troposphere: 0.5 to 0.7 meters • Satellite clocks: < 1 to 3.6 meters • Orbital errors: < 1 meter • Receiver noise: 0.3 to 1.5 meters • Multipath: undetermined • User error: Up to a kilometer or more • Errors are cumulative!

  3. Dual Frequency Positioning L1 C/A Code L2 P(Y) Code Signal propagates through atmosphere at different rates due to different frequencies. This time difference can be calculated and used to correct for Ionospheric and Tropospheric created errors.

  7. NDGPSNationwide Differential Global Positioning Service • Advantages: • 1 meter, 95% real-time accuracy when the user is within 100 miles of station • Optimized for surface (maritime and terrestrial) applications with medium frequency, “ground hugging” signal and is not line-of-site dependent • Fully operational in areas of coverage

  8. NDGPSNationwide Differential Global Positioning Service • Disadvantages: • Accuracy degrades at a rate of approximately 1 meter per hundred nautical miles • More user equipment needed for most receivers • Can be susceptible to RF interference • Accuracy and usage are distance dependent • System is operational but the coverage not completed yet

  9. GPS / NDGPS Beacon System Trimble’s “BoB” CSI’s MBX3 Beacon Receiver

  10. NDGPSNational Differential Global Positioning System

  11. NDGPSNational Differential Global Positioning System

  12. WAASWide Area Augmentation System Advantages: • < 7 meters real-time accuracy • Accuracy not distance dependent • No additional receiver needed • Inexpensive

  13. WAASWide Area Augmentation System • Disadvantages: • Does not work well in canopy cover • Satellite are geo-stationary over equator • Not declared operational yet

  14. Garmin GPSMap 176 Trimble’s Pro XR Trimble Geo CE XT and XM Garmin GPSMap 76 and V WAAS / Beacon / Omnistar / GPS Receiver System CSI’s DGPS Max

  15. Why Should You DoDifferential Corrections? • Improved Accuracy ( still have atmospheric degradation of sv signals ) • Positional Integrity ( Are you where you say you are? ) • Geodetic Tie to NGS Monumentation Network

  16. What’s Coming for GPS System? • Better, smaller and less expensive receivers • Closer integration into existing equipment, watches, cell phones, data collection devices, etc. • Dual Frequency, C/A Code • FAA satellite based differential service - Wide Area Augmentation System, WAAS • Double coverage of NDGPS for CONUS
