Topic: Pseudorange


  
  Pseudorange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pseudorange (from pseudo and range) is a first-approximation measurement for the distance between a satellite and a navigation satellite receiver - for instance Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers.
The pseudoranges are then the time the signal has taken from there to the receiver, multiplied by the speed of light.
To measure this time, the relationship between the internal receiver time (typically derived from an inexpensive quartz oscillator) and GPS time must be known.

The pseudorange (from pseudo and range, nothing to do with the fruit!) is a first-approximation measurement for the distance between a satellite and a navigation satellite receiver - for instance Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers.
Pseudorange is the approximate geometric distance from the antenna to the particular satellite in question.
pseudorange is the "distance" between the GPS satellite at some transmit time and the receiver at some receive time.

Pseudorange measurements are made by matching local models of the ranging code generated at the receiver with codes being received from the GPS satellite.
Thus, all of the pseudorange observations made over a span of hours can be brought to bear on a single time point and their errors thereby averaged down.
Figure 5 gives an example of the effect of introducing pseudorange into the estimation process with increasing accuracy ranging from no pseudorange to carrier range, the latter being the case where the cycle ambiguities are exactly known.

The pseudorange measurements from these reference receivers are processed centrally to determine the pseudorange corrections to be broadcast to the approaching aircraft.
Associated with the pseudorange corrections is an estimate of the standard deviation of the error in these corrections.
If the pseudorange error is distributed as zero-mean Gaussian with standard deviation [[sigma].sub.0], which we represent as N (0, [[sigma].sub.0]), the vertical position error would be distributed as N(0, [[sigma].sub.P]), where [[sigma].sub.P] can be written in terms of [[sigma].sub.0] and the direction cosine terms in the user's satellite geometry matrix.

The third objective is to estimate the pseudorange rate from the ephemerides and compare it with the measured pseudorange rate.
The final objective is to demonstrate that the difference between the pseudorange and the range equivalent of the integrated carrier phase is the same for each satellite.

 Pseudorange- and Carrier Phase Multipath
Convert pseudoranges and carrier phases to length units (usually pseudoranges are already in meters, but carrier phases in cycles.
Remaining errors are: twice the ionospheric error, pseudorange multipath error, carrier phase multipath error, receiver pseudorange noise, receiver carrier phase noise and the carrier phase ambiguity.
The thus obtained residuals contain to a large extend the pseudorange multipath, some pseudorange noise and possibly a small and slowly varying residual iono term.

 Precise Platform Positioning with a Single GPS Receiver - GPS World
The subject of this month's column is the design of a GPS data processing technique capable of producing positions with accuracies at the few-decimeter level using data from a single receiver, regardless of platform dynamics.
This approach is not adversely affected by the decorrelation of biases in relative or differential positioning, un-resolved phase ambiguities, spatial interpolation errors, or assumptions regarding platform dynamics, and only requires the tacit assumption of sufficient GPS signals for positioning.
The crux of carrier and pseudorange combination is the use of averaged noisy code-phase range measurements to estimate the ambiguity term in the precise carrier-phase range measurements.

The receiver does not need a precise clock, but does need to have a clock with good short-term stability and received signals from four satellites in order to find its own latitude, longitude, elevation, and the precise time.
The receiver computes the distance to each of the four satellites by the difference between local time and the time the satellite signals were sent (this distance is called a pseudorange).
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.

 GPS Overview
where rho is the observed pseudorange calculated from the light time equation, rhotrue is the difference of the position of the receiver at the true receive time minus the position of the satellite at the true transmit time; and the rest of the equation represents the biases created by the errors in the clocks.
The first order contribution of the ionosphere to the pseudorange bias is related to the inverse of the frequency squared.
If one receiver location is known, then the bias in the pseudorange to the known receiver can be calculated and used to correct the solution of the unknown receiver location.

 UNIT 1 - Introduction to GPS
The GPS receiver measures the distance (pseudorange) between the satellite and the antenna by measuring the time the signal takes to propagate from the satellite to the receiver.
The pseudorange is this time offset multiplied by the speed of light.
The pseudorange is biased by the lack of time synchronization between the clock in the GPS satellite and the clock in the GPS receiver.

 Temperature relationship to pseudorange residuals
The results of equipment sensitivity to changes in temperature resulted in a time-varying, non-zero behavior of the pseudorange residuals, which introduced enough 'noise' into the daily solutions to introduce a significant clock bias at midnight between days.
However, in the case of NRC1/2 that is not true for pseudorange residuals, which seem to show a heavily time-varying behavior in the winter.
I took a brief look at Onsala's pseudorange residuals behavior, since the January to June plot of pseudorange residual sigmas was so steady.

Further, deterministic solutions that use pseudorange, carrier phase and carrier smoothed code measurements and Kalman filters that use carrier phase and carrier smoothed code are investigated.
However, if multipath is overcome and the noise on the pseudorange is within normal levels, a carrier smoothed code algorithm could be incorporated to produce acceptable measurements for navigation.
Since the pseudorange measurements from the NSTL were unusable, a simulation was written to test the receiver navigation software.

The results of our simulations indicate that pseudorange errors induced by the CRPA/DBF are no worse than the errors that would be obtained if only the reference element was being used; in fact DBF processing may actual improve the situation.
However for the array models that we evaluated, the pseudorange errors are on the same order of magnitude as multipath after extended carrier smoothing, so these errors should be included in availability assessments.
One focus of the current work is on the impact to navigational accuracy and integrity from adaptive beam-steering and null-forming.

The receiver does not need a precise clock, but does need a clock with good short-term stability and the ability to receive signals from four satellites in order to determine its own latitude, longitude, elevation, and the precise time.
A variety of receiver techniques, most notably Narrow Correlator spacing, have been developed to mitigate multipath error contributions to pseudorange measurements.
For shorter delay multipath signals that result from reflections from the ground, special antenna features may be used such as a ground plane, or a choke ring antenna.

Use of this bit flag indicates that the time tag values and pseudorange values are not adjusted as per the RINEX specification or time tags and pseudoranges for millisecond clock resets, i.e.
to convert to the RINEX standard for time tags and pseudoranges, the receiver clock offset must be monitored from epoch to epoch to detect millisecond resets which must then be applied in the usual way to the time tags and pseudoranges to be RINEX compliant
