Abstract:

Expressions for Global Positioning System (GPS) user errors in pos1t1on and time are derived for the situation of the receiver utilizing data either from four satellites or from three satellites plus an altimeter. The derivation assumes that the satellite pseudo-range/altimeter measurement errors are independent, but not necessarily equal. The predicted user behavior is given in this report for representative measurement errors and for the special case of a user located at the FAA Technical Center, Atlantic City Airport (ACY), New Jersey, when NAVSTAR satellites 3 through 6 are visible.
