Examined methods for measuring distances Examined GPS codes that allow a type of distance measurement and phase to be measured Examine how the range measurements are defined Use of carrier phase measurements Examine rinEx format and look at some \raw data
Network Development of Network First measurements made in July 1992; just after start of International GPS Serviceigs). Since then measurements each year and often multiple campaigns per year. -The current network has over 1000 sites, many of them being recovery marks for the main
Propagation: lonospheric delay Summary -Quick review/introduction to propagating waves -Effects of low density plasma Additional effects -Treatment of ionospheric delay in GPS processing -Examples of some results
Propagation Basics: - Signal, tagged with time from satellite clock, transmitted. - About66msec(20,000km) later the signal arrives at GPS receiver. Satellite has moved about 66 m during the time it takes signal to propagate to receiver
Coordinate Systems Today we cover: Definition of coordinates - Conventionalrealization of coordinates Modern realizations using spaced based geodetic systems (such as GPS)
