NAVSTAR GPS (Global Positioning System) Marine Receiver Performance Analysis.

Abstract

This report is an analysis and comparison of the capability of several NAVSTAR GPS receiver configurations to provide accurate position data to the civil marine user. The NAVSTAR GPS system itself has the potential to provide civil marine users with a position fixing capability having an accuracy, coverage, and availability previously unattainable from any single system. This study utilizes theoretical design formulas and a Monte Carlo type navigation processor simulation program, and discusses various performance tradeoffs. (Author)
