Abstract

Abstract. This work addresses the challenge of multipath interference in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning. An approach is proposed to improve accuracy through adaptive weighting strategies and multipath isolation techniques. Weighting methods based on elevation and carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0) are employed, and this strategy is combined with a multipath detection technique using the Code-minus-carrier (CMC) rate of change. The method is tested using a Piksi Multi GNSS Module, with data processed using Standard Point Positioning (SPP) techniques. An 8-state filter based on a Position-Velocity (PV) model is implemented for dynamic state estimation. Experiments in static and dynamic scenarios demonstrate significant improvements in positioning accuracy.

Efficient 3-D Passive Source Localization Using AOA and TDOA Measurements in Passive Radar

In two-station 3-D passive source localization, combined angle of arrival (AOA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA) methods often exhibit performance degradation at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). To address this issue, this letter first derives an error propagation model and demonstrates the limitations of the co...
