• Abstract:
  Analyses have been conducted to develop scenarios of nationwide coverage of a differential global positioning system (DGPS) correction signal. These scenarios are based on extensions of an existing network of DGPS radiobeacons. Various parameters and tradeoffs among these parameters have been taken into account, including the numbers and locations of broadcast sites, the effective radiated powers of the sites, and their frequency assignments. The goal of the analyses has been to develop coverage scenarios that maximize cost effectiveness, minimize interference problems, and meet the minimum requirements for level of service.
