• Abstract:
  The programs were written to compute, on a Hewlett Packard minicomputer, the dilution of precision parameters for the Global Positioning System (GPS) and to plot these data versus Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The programs evaluate the influence of satellite geometry upon these parameters and subsequently upon the accuracy of the GPS. The flowcharts of the programs, a printout of the transfer files, program listings and examples of the program output are included in this report.
