Experimental Analysis of Navigational Precision for Dedicated GNSS Receivers

In the paper experimental investigations related with analysis of navigational precision of three chosen GNSS receivers are shown. Used receivers allow for measurement of navigational signals in following modes of operations: receiving signals from single-frequency GPS system, dual-frequency GPS/GLONASS system, and receiving signals from GPS constellation with use of differential measurements. In the last mode the base station and mobile receiver were configured for transmitting/receiving differential corrections by pair of industry-grade radio modems. The most important features and configuration of navigational receivers for conducted experiment are presented. Afterward the features of computer program designed especially for simultaneous acquisition, analysis of quality parameters and archiving of navigational signals are shown. The results of conducted investigations are also shown. For each of the receivers quantity and quality parameters such as maximum and minimum numbers of visible satellites and DOP (dilution of precision) parameters achieved during the experiment are given.
