GPS ProjectDr. Glen Lightsey Investigation of How Accuracy of GPS Measurements is Affected by Errors in the Navigation Data
General Error Sources • Space Segment • Satellite clock stability • Predictability of satellite perturbations • Control Segment • Ephemeris prediction error • Thruster performance • User Segment • Atmospheric delay (ionospheric, tropospheric) • Multipath
Project Error Source • Project error from control segment • Input error into navigation message • Diverge IODE/IODC • Four different runs • Single satellite/all satellites • Data collected
Analysis Performed • Used Matlab script to generate: • X, Y, Z residuals • X, Y, Z mean and standard deviations • PDOP • The following plots show the results

Conclusions • In general, run 2 was noisier than most • Run 4 was less noisy than either 2 or 3 • Runs 2,3,and 4 were noisier than 1 • Runs 2 and 3 were not very different • The accuracy was degraded by approximately 2 to 5 meters
