| Abstract: | This work demonstrates that precise point positioning (PPP) can be used not only for positioning, but for a variety of other
tasks, such as signal analysis. The fact that the observation model used for accurate error modeling has to take into consideration
the several effects present in GPS signals, and that observations are undifferenced, makes PPP a powerful data analysis tool
sensitive to a variety of parameters. The PPP application developed at the University of New Brunswick, which is called GAPS
(GPS Analysis and Positioning Software), has been designed and built in order to take advantage of available precise products,
resulting in a data analysis tool for determining parameters in addition to position, receiver clock error, and neutral atmosphere
delay. These other estimated parameters include ionospheric delays, code biases, satellite clock errors, and code multipath
among others. In all cases, the procedures were developed in order to be suitable for real-time as well as post-processing
applications. One of the main accomplishments in the development described here is the use of very precise satellite products,
coupled with a very complete observation error modeling to make possible a variety of analyses based on GPS data. In this
paper, several procedures are described, their innovative aspects are pointed out, and their results are analyzed and compared
with other sources. The procedures and software are readily adaptable for using data from other global navigation satellite
systems. |
