When using narrow correlator spacing in a GPS receiver, the CIA-code tracking errors are on the order of a decimeter. In the presences of multipath signals, tracking errors can be on the order of a few meters. In many differential GPS applications, multipath is the most significant source of error. In a previous paper, the authors demonstrated that it is possible to reduce multipath errors greatly by using the Multipath Estimating Delay Lock Loop (MEDLL). Since then, MEDLL has been implemented into a multichannel receiver that calculates the pseudorange multipath errors in real time.This paper reviews the multipath problem in the GPS receiver and the theory of the MEDLL. Two experiments carried out to evaluate the MEDLL are described. First, measurements were collected simultaneously with the MEDLL receiver and a standard NovAtel narrow-correlator receiver over a short baseline. Second, the same receivers were connected to a GPS signal simulator so a multipath signal could be introduced in a controlled enviroment.
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.
