• Abstract:
  The Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center performed this effort under the Technical Program Document 04-109, subprogram 049-311, project Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging (NAVSTAR)/Globa1 positioning System (GPS). The report covers the exploratory laboratory test in 1981 and 33-hour flight test from June through July 1981 of the single channel GPS rece1ver (Z-set) manufactured by Magnavox and procured by the Department of Defense (DOD). The report documents the performance of the Z-set in the laboratory and during different flight profiles including rectangles, orbits, radials, non-precision approaches, and area en route flights to the Philadelphia, Dulles, Norfolk, Wilmington, and John F. Kennedy Airports during periods when up to five satellites were visible to the antenna.
