GPS Errors
GPS measurements are both affected by several types of random errors and systematic errors which affects the accuracy of measurements

Satellites Errors
1. Ephemeris or Orbital Error
•Satellite positions are a function of time•Forces acting on the GPS satellites are not perfect•Errors in the estimated satellite positions known as ephemeris errors.

2. Selective Availability
Selective availability (SA) is a technique to deny accurate real-time autonomous positioning to unauthorized users.
• δ -process is achieved by dithering the fundamental frequency of the satellite clock.
• ε-error is the truncation of the orbital information in the transmitted navigation message so that the coordinates of the satellites cannot accurately be computed.
• SA turned on, nominal horizontal and vertical errors could be up to 100m and 156m, respectively.

Each GPS Block II and Block IIA satellite contains two cesium and two rubidium atomic clocks.
The satellite clock error is about 8.64 to 17.28 nanoseconds per day. The corresponding range error is 2.59 m to 5.18 m
GPS receivers, in contrast, use inexpensive crystal clocks.
The receiver clock error is much larger than that of the GPS satellite clock.

PHASE
Phase is the fraction of a wave cycle which has elapsed relative to an arbitrary point
![Page 11: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If a and φ denote the amplitude and the phase of the signal
direct signal = a cosφindirect signal =β a cos(φ+Δ φ)
Where β is a damping factor
a cos + a cos( + ) (1+ a cos ) a cos - ( sin ) a sin
Multipath Error
The superposition of signals is represented by:
1+ cos cos sin sin

M M
Let us consider
where the subscript M indicates multipath
![Page 12: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2 sin= 1+ +2 cos , tan1 cosM M
β may vary between 0 and 1
β = 0 (no reflected signal and no multipath) βM = 1 and ΔφM =0 the resultant signal is identical to the direct signal
β =1 (The strongest possible reflection )
= 2(1+cos ) =2 cos2

The best way to eliminate multipath error is to construct the observation site with no reflecting surface and objects in its locality.

1. Ionosphere•The uppermost part of the earth’s atmosphere (50 km and 1000 km), ultraviolet and X-ray radiations coming from the sun interact with the gas molecules and atoms.
•These interactions result in gas ionization, a large number of free, negatively charged, electrons and positively charged, atoms and molecules, such a region of the atmosphere where gas ionization takes place is called the ionosphere.
![Page 15: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The electron density within the ionospheric region is not constant, it changes with altitude. As such, the ionospheric region is divided into sub regions, or layers, according to the electron density
• The altitude and thickness of those layers vary with time, as a result of the changes in the sun’s radiation and the Earth’s magnetic field.
• The ionosphere is a dispersive medium, which means that it bends the GPS radio signal and changes its speed as it passes through the various ionospheric layers to reach a GPS receiver
![Page 16: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency and such type of medium is called dispersive medium
Dispersive Medium
In a dispersive prism, material dispersion causes different colors to refract at different angles, splitting white light into a rainbow.

Phase and Group velocity
The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space (red dot).
The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall shape of the wave’s amplitudes propagates through space (green dot).

Refractive Index
cnv
The refractive index n of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium. It is defined as:
where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium

Ionospheric Refraction
The ionosphere extending in various layers from about 50 km to 1,000 km above earth is a dispersive medium with respect to the GPS radio signal. Following Seeber series ..

Total Electron Content (TEC)
TEC is an important descriptive quantity for the ionosphere of the Earth. TEC is the total number of electrons integrated between two points, along a tube of one meter squared cross section. The TEC is measured in a unit called TECU, where 1TECU=1×1016electrons/m2
![Page 29: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
GPS Frequencies
• Each satellite sends down exactly the same two radio frequenciesL1 at 1575.43 MHzL2 at 1227.60 MHz
•At these microwave frequencies the signal are highly directional and hence are easily blocked, as well as highly reflected by solid objects and water surfaces
![Page 30: GPS-errors-1](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/58796aa71a28ab37368b4bfd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
For the dual frequency (L1, L2) observation, TEC in the slant direction can be calculated from the pseudo range (P) and phase observations (ɸ) as

STEC is the total electron content calculated on the path different than local zenith. The value of TEC consists of both the STEC along a satellite receiver ray path and instrumental bias B (constant)
STEC= TEC + B
Slant Total Electron Content (STEC)

The electron content calculated on the local zenith path is called Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC)

where α is the elevation angle, RE the radius of the earth (RE=6378 km) and hmax (=350 km) is the height of the ionospheric shell above the surface of the earth

• TEC is a very complicated quantity depends on sunspot activities line of sight (includes elevation and azimuth of satellites) position of observation etc.
• Determination of TEC is essential
• TEC effects needs to be measured, estimated, modelled or eliminated

Various time its very difficult to measure , estimate or model the value of TEC
Most efficient method is to eliminate the value of TEC
Its very easy to eliminate it by using two signals with different frequencies and this the main reason why the GPS signal has two carrier waves L1 and L2
It can be done by linear combination of pseudorange models so that ionospheric refraction cancels out
