Abstract
The synchronization of devices is the most important aspect when dealing with the timing and positioning system. The signals that are used for timing and positioning are emitted by the satellites; along the propagation path, they experience deviations just before reaching the users’ antenna. The satellite-emitted signals go through the space, and the Doppler shift is likely to cause signal deviation, and as it goes through the ionosphere and troposphere. These signal deviations cause signal degradations. In that case, the multipath propagation error becomes a noticeable error. There are numerous errors being experienced in the space environment such as ionospheric and tropospheric delays. This paper provides the comprehensive literature review and analysis of the GNSS and develops the numerical algorithms to estimate the multipath propagation along the GNSS receiving channel.
