ABSTRACT:
A technique for smoothing pseudorange code measurements made in a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, with carrier phase measurements, over an extended time interval but without distortion that usually results from a divergence between code-derived pseudorange measurements and carrier-derived measurements. The basic principle of the invention is to remove ionospheric effects and Doppler effects from the pseudorange code measurements prior to filtering over an extended time interval. Removal of ionospheric effects may be effected by applying corrections received from a reference receiver, or may be accomplished using measured or modeled ionospheric data available to the receiver. The invention is applicable to differential GPS position finding using remote receivers having only a single-frequency capability, but is also applicable to stand-alone GPS receivers of any type.
