Research of GPS Signal Multipath Effects Based on GAMIT TRACK

Article Preview

Abstract:

GPS multipath disturbance is a bottleneck problem that limits accuracy of GPS positioning. The function of single epoch kinematic positioning of GAMIT TRACK is used to study GPS signal multipath effects. A filtering method for separating signal and noise based on the wavelet analysis is established. The decomposition level for wavelet filter is confirmed according to the high correlation of the multipath effects between adjacent sidereal days by using the maximum correlation coefficient method. The accurate multipath corrections in GPS coordinate series are acquired with the proposed method making use of TRACK and the repeating property of multipath effects is used to weaken multipath effects in subsequent days, and therefore improve the precision of the GPS positioning.
