Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is an enhancement to Global Positioning

System that provides improved location accuracy, from the 15-meter nominal GPS accuracy to
about 10 cm in case of the best implementations.
DGPS uses a network of fixed, ground-based reference stations to broadcast the difference
between the positions indicated by the GPS satellite systems and the known fixed positions.
These stations broadcast the difference between the measured satellite pseudoranges and
actual (internally computed) pseudoranges, and receiver stations may correct their
pseudoranges by the same amount. The digital correction signal is typically broadcast locally
over ground-based transmitters of shorter range.

DGPS Stations

Each DGPS Broadcast Station provides DGPS corrections to users in its region via marine radio beacon
signals. Marine radio beacons, which operate in the 283.5 to 325.0 KHz frequency band, broadcast DGPS
corrections by modulating the normal beacon direction-finding signal with the DGPS correction information.
The signals are received by the beacon receiver on board the user’s vessel and are demodulated to recover
the DGPS corrections.
The DGPS corrections are transmitted from 23 locations spread across India
Following are the details of 23 DGPS installations along the Indian coast including Andman Nikobar &
Lakshadweep group of islands.

ID means Reference ID number allocated to the Beacon.
