This paper evaluates the potential effect of a second civilian frequency on static GPS baseline precision. The status of negotiations regarding the new frequency is reviewed. The results of a test that simulates two civilian frequencies are then presented for five GPS observables commonly used in data processing. Analysis of the results reveals no statistical difference between current survey precision and that obtainable if the new frequency is introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
