A consistency test of airborne GPS using multiple monitor stations
Abstract In October 1990, several airborne GPS tests were conducted in the Ottawa region by the Canada Centre for Surveying (CCS) and the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS). Ashtech XII receivers were located at up to three monitor stations with baseline lengths to the aircraft ranging from 1–200 km. Approximately two hours of airborne data, collected at a 2 Hz rate, were available for each of the three test days. Post-processing of the differential data was done using the University of Calgary's SEMIKIN package which utilizes a Kalman filter algorithm to estimate both the remote receiver's position and velocity. Comparisons were made between the aircraft position and velocity determined from each of the monitor stations to assess the consistency of differential GPS when different reference stations are used. Results show that the degree of consistency is dependent upon the distance to the monitor stations. Agreement at the decimetre-level is achieved in position when the baseline lengths are within 100 km. Agreement in velocity is usually better than 1 cm $ s^{−1} $ (RMS).
