GNSS Errors

Geometry up to 100m Orbits up to 5m

Canyon Effect – 1 metreIonospheric & Tropospheric

diffraction 10 + 1 metres

Timimg errors 4m – Rounding errors 1m

Ionospheric effects ± 5 metresShifts in the satellite orbits ± 2.5 metresClock errors of the satellites' clocks ± 2 metresMultipath effect ± 1 metreTropospheric effects ± 0.5 metreCalculation & rounding errors ± 1 metre

All adds up to +- 15m – 10m typically stated

With EGNOS still +-3 to 5m according to this sourceHowever +- 1m considered realistic

DATA OR PRN

Cold Start – Load The Almanac – where are the satellitesWarm start – get satellite data and extract Ephemeris (position) and timeCalculate UTCDo Geometry and get a 3D fixUse SBAS to correct FixUse Regression to get better accuracy

ASSISTED GPS – this is a technique whereby another source of location data is used to enable the device to start seeking the most apprpriate satellites. E.G. CELL-ID, dead reckoning or just memeory
