ABSTRACT:
A combined GPS/GLONASS Receiver is disclosed. The GLONASS system of satellites operates at a higher orbit inclination than GPS satellites (64.degree. for GLONASS, 55.degree. for GPS). This leads to GLONASS having better coverage at higher latitudes, e.g. in the State of Alaska or Northern Europe. The combined GPS/GLONASS receiver incorporates this advantage. Another advantage of using the GPS/GLONASS receiver is that GLONASS can become a back up system when the US Government intentionally degrades the GPS system accuracy via Selective Availability (SA). The combined GPS/GLONASS Receiver can receive signals from more satellites and therefore has more resistance to jamming than a single GPS or GLONASS Receiver.
