GPS I th ti fft it is measuring the time difference between when a signal was transmitted and when it was received. If satellite and receiver clocks were synchronized, this would be a measure of range. Pseudorange is measured using the true range and corrections applied for propagation delays.

Wh GPS i th ti ff t it When a GPS receiver measures the time offset it needs to apply to its replica of the code to reach maximum correlation with received signal, what is g , it measuring? It is measuring the time difference between when i l t itt d (b d t llit l k) a signal was transmitted (based on satellite clock) and when it was received (based on receiver clock). c oc ) If the satellite and receiver clocks were synchronized, this would be a measure of range Since they are not synchronized, it is called pseudorange Basic measurement types Basic measurement types Pseudorange: P p = (t t p ) c Where P p k is the pseudorange between receiver k and satellite p; t k is the receiver clock time, t p is the satellite transmit time; and c is P k = (t k t ) c , ; the speed of light This expression can be related to the true range by introducing corrections to the clock times t k and t p are true times; At k and At p are clock corrections Basic measurement types Basic measurement types S b tit ti i t th ti f th Substituting into the equation of the pseudorange yields
k p is true range, and the ionospheric and atmospheric terms are introduced because atmospheric terms are introduced because the propagation velocity is not c. Basic measurement types Basic measurement types Th ti f th d th t The equation for the pseudorange uses the true range and corrections applied for propagation delays because the propagation velocity is not the y p p g y in-vacuum value, c, 2.99792458x10 8 m/s To convert times to distance c is used and then ti li d f th t l l it t corrections applied for the actual velocity not equaling c. In RINEX data files, pseudorange is given in distance units. g e d sta ce u ts The true range is related to the positions of the ground receiver and satellite. Also need to account for noise in measurements Pseudorange noise Pseudorange noise P d i ( d d t d i Pseudorange noise (random and not so random errors in measurements) contributions: Correlation function width:The width of the correlation is Correlation function width:The width of the correlation is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the signal. Therefore the 1MHz bandwidth of C/A produces a peak 1 sec wide (300m) compared to the P(Y) code 10MHz bandwidth which produces 0.1 sec peak (30 m) f f Rough rule is that peak of correlation function can be determined to 1% of width (with care). Therefore 3 m for C/A code and 0.3 m for P(Y) code m for P(Y) code. Pseudorange noise Pseudorange noise M i More noise sources Thermal noise: Effects of other random radio noise in the GPS bands Black body radiation: I=2kT/ 2 where I is the specific intensity in, for example, watts/(m 2 Hz ster), k is Boltzmans constant,1.380 x 10 -23 watts/Hz/K and is wavelength. Depends on area of antenna, area of sky seen (ster=ster- radians), temperature T (Kelvin) and frequency. Since C/A code has narrower bandwidth, tracking it in theory has 10 times less th l i (d d t ki b d idth) l th thermal noise power (depends on tracking bandwidth) plus the factor of 2 more because of transmission power). Thermal noise is general smallest effect Multipath: Reflected signals (discussed later) Pseudorange noise Pseudorange noise Th i i l t d t fl t d The main noise sources are related to reflected signals and tracking approximations. Hi h lit i i b t 10 High quality receiver: noise about 10 cm Low cost receiver ($200): noise is a few meters (depends on surroundings and antenna) (depends on surroundings and antenna) In general: C/A code pseudoranges are of similar quality to P(Y) code ranges C/A can use quality to P(Y) code ranges. C/A can use narrowband tracking which reduces amount of thermal noise thermal noise Precise positioning (P-) code is not really the case. Phase measurements Phase measurements Carrier phase measurements are similar to pseudorange in that they are the p g y difference in phase between the transmitting and receiving oscillators transmitting and receiving oscillators. Integration of the oscillator frequency gives the clock time gives the clock time. Basic notion in carrier phase: |=fAt where p | | is phase and f is frequency Phase measurements Phase measurements The carrier phase is the difference | k p (t r ) = | k (t r ) | r p (t r ) + N k p (1) The carrier phase is the difference between phase of receiver oscillator and signal received plus the number of cycles signal received plus the number of cycles at the initial start of tracking The received phase is related to the transmitted phase and propagation time by transmitted phase and propagation time by | r p (t r ) = | t p (t t ) = | t p (t r
k p /c) = | t p (t r )
| p (t r ) k p /c Phase measurements Phase measurements Th t f h f h i f The rate of change of phase is frequency. Notice that the phase difference changes as /c changes. If clocks perfect and nothing moving then would be constant. Subtle effects in phase equation Phase received at time t = phase transmitted Phase received at time t phase transmitted at t-t (riding the wave) Transmitter phase referred to ground time Transmitter phase referred to ground time (used later). Also possible to formulate as transmit time. Phase measurements Phase measurements When phase is used it is converted to distance using the standard L1 and L2 g frequencies and vacuum speed of light. Clock terms are introduced to account for Clock terms are introduced to account for difference between true frequencies and f nominal frequencies. As with range ionospheric and atmospheric delays p p y account for propagation velocity Precision of phase measurements Nominally phase can be measured to 1% of Nominally phase can be measured to 1% of wavelength (~2mm L1 and ~2.4 mm L2) Again effected by multipath ionospheric Again effected by multipath, ionospheric delays (~30m), atmospheric delays (3-30m). Since phase is more precise than range, ff t d t b f ll t d g more effects need to be carefully accounted for with phase. Precise and consistent definition of time of Precise and consistent definition of time of events is one the most critical areas In general, phase can be treated like range g , p g measurement with unknown offset due to cycles and offsets of oscillator phases.
