GNSS Systems Reports: Compass ICD, Expanded QZSS, GLONASS Launches, GPS Budget Issues, Galileo Reprofiling

[Updated October 3] All five of the world’s major satellite navigation systems are poised to offer new capability — if the money comes through — program representatives told attendees at the recent Institute of Navigation’s GNSS 2011 conference in Portland.

The satellite navigation systems in China, Japan, and the United States have each recently had new satellites added, while those in Russia and Europe are poised for new launches. Budgets are in flux for most systems, however, so it remains to be seen how the systems will advance over the next year.

The Differences in Differencing

Equation 1

Q: How does measurement differencing affect my computed position?

A: The short answer is, “That depends.”

Standalone, or undifferenced, measurements obviously produce the poorest positioning performance. However, how we proceed from this most basic data processing approach may affect the computed solution. In this article, we look at the details of why this occurs.

ENAC campus courtyard

The fifth European workshop on GNSS signals and signal processing will take place at ENAC headquarters (École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile),  in Toulouse, France on December 8 and 9, 2011.

The workshop will give an overview of GNSS signals, characteristics, and performances related to any of the navigation, positioning, timing, attitude determination and scientific GNSS services. Papers have been accepted on the use of EGNOS (3,4) and GALILEO (1,2) signals, and all other GNSS signals for operational and/or scientific applications, with 1 to 5 frequencies.
