An advanced dual-frequency positioning algorithm for satellite navigation receivers

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

With the development of the Ground Positioning System (GPS) modernization and the expectable implementation of Galileo, people pay more and more attention to civil applications on multi-frequency signals. This paper proposes a new and advanced positioning algorithm for the dual-frequency satellite navigation receivers, concerning the various influences of all the ranging error sources and taking advantage of the Klobuchar single-frequency ionospheric model. The paper also presents positioning precision provided by the new algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, the new dual-frequency positioning algorithm can achieve higher positioning accuracy than the single-frequency positioning algorithm and the traditional dual-frequency positioning algorithm.
