BLOCK IIR-M transmit a second civil signal (L2C) on the L2 frequency! SV 49 broadcasts L5 (experimental)! IIF broadcasts L J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 6
8 Why GNSS?! Stands for Global Navigation and Satellite Systems! GLONASS, Soviet built, now Russian system has been in existence since 1982 (1 st satellite) and is fully operational beginning 1995, but with some outages! Galileo has launched first two experimental satellites (GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B) in 2006 and 2008 by European Space Agency (ESA) GLONASS! 24 Satellites when fully operational (24 operational currently, spares and 1 in flight test phase)! All satellites use same code but different frequencies for each! Two antipodal satellites share same frequency! More resistant to interference! Spotty reliability record 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 7
9 GLONASS! 21 sats in orbit (mid-jan 11)! 0 sats in commissioning phase! 5 sats in maintenance! 1 in decommissioning phase! Satellite orbit time: 11 h 15 m! Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema [ : ] GLONASS Benefits! More satellites is always better! However different datum and time standard! Need one satellite just to make the transfer! So need a minimum of two to get any real improvements! Huge benefit in areas with limited sky view 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 8

34 For Survey Integrity! Post-process RTK whenever possible! Your own! Private services! Public services! Differential! RTK! RTN real time network Base Stations 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 33
35 Differential Corrections Differential GPS Benefits! Higher positioning accuracy than autonomous! Ideal for reconnaissance! Also many natural resource surveys! Adequate for many mapping and GIS applications! Pre-surveying 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 34
36 Real-Time DGPS Real Time DGPS Benefits! Real-time, so can navigate to a point with greater certainty! Good for corner location, corner search! Preliminary surveys! Searching for utilities 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 35
37 WAAS! One of many Wide Area Differential GPS systems! Implemented by/for FAA to improve safety of air navigation! Broadcasts RTCA format message from geosynchronous satellites! 1-2 m positioning feasible! Similar systems: MSAS (Japan); EGNOS (Europe); Gagan (India) WAAS satellite locations Satellite Name & Details Galaxy 15 Anik F1R Inmarsat-4 F3 NMEA / PRN NMEA #48 / PRN #135 NMEA #51 / PRN #138 NMEA # 46 / PRN #133 Location 133 W W 98 W 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 36

39 SBAS! Can improve system accuracy, reliability, and availability! Integration of corrections into positioning! Corrections may include additional error information: clock drift, ephemeris, ionospheric delay, etc.! Some may provide additional SV information to be integrated in the calculation process A short list! WAAS United States FAA! EGNOS European Space Agency! WAGE US DoD for military and authorized receivers only! MSAS Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (JCAB)! StarFire John Deere! OmniSTAR DGPS System Fugro! The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) Japan! GPS and GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) India 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 38
40 Overall similarities! SBAS designs and implementations may vary widely! Term refers to any satellite-based augmentation system! Under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules a SBAS must transmit a specific message format and frequency which matches the design of the United States' Wide Area Augmentation System Channels! Channels used to mean actual number of satellite signals receivable! GLONASS and Galileo require different front ends (radios)! However, digital signal processing can be done with similar channels and are switchable! SBAS generally receive GPS-like signals at front-end 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 39
41 Understanding 4 errors and biases General Error Sources! Systematic errors called biases! Can originate at satellites! Can originate at receiver! Can be from signal propagation 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 40
42 ! Ephemeris! Selective Availability! Clock errors Satellite Errors! Rx clock! Multipath! Antenna phase center! Rx measurement noise Receiver Errors 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 41
43 ! Ionosphere! Troposphere Propagation Errors In Addition! Constellation geometry! The elevation vs. altitude problem! Miscellaneous errors 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 42
44 Multipath Reflections off buildings, trees, ground, water, fences, etc. Direct Signal Reflected Signal Satellite Geometry Poor satellite geometry (high DOP) Good satellite geometry (low DOP) 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 43
45 Geometry Considerations! PDOP, HDOP and VDOP should be looked at periodically! Before surveying look at values! But remember shading can change what you expected so look at it while surveying too! Vertical positioning is always a poor intersection vertical accuracy worse than horiz by multiplier of 1.5 to 2 Dilution of Precision! DOP (generic term)! PDOP (position)! HDOP (horizontal position)! VDOP (vertical position)! TDOP (time)! GDOP (time and position) 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 44
46 Elevation vs. Altitude! GPS altitude is height above WGS-84 ellipsoid! Elevations are height above mean sea level (orthometric height)! Sea level, unlike the ellipsoid is a non-smooth undulating surface! In US geoid separation can be up to 100 m Ellipsoid, Geoid, Topography Mass Excess Local Topography Ellipsoid Mass Deficiency Geoid 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 45
47 Coordinate Systems! GPS measures in WGS-84 Cartesian! Surveyor could be using SPCs, UTMs, other systems! Converting from native GPS system to surveyor s system can be fraught with errors (and mistakes) Error and Bias Review! Systematic errors called biases! Can originate at satellites! Can originate at receiver! Can be from signal propagation 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 46
48 Ephemeris Errors! Satellite position from eph good to about 1.6 m, but has been observed to be as large as 20 m! Differencing gets rid of this error (mostly) especially with short baselines Baseline Error Estimation ESVpos Baseline Ebaseline = SVrange Where E baseline is the error in the surveyed GPS baseline E SVpos is the ephemeris error for satellite position Baseline is the length of the surveyed baseline, and SVrange is the range to the satellite (~20,000 km) 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 47
49 Alternatives to Broadcast Ephemeris! International GNSS Service (IGS) post-mission precise orbits! Ultrarapid half orbit (3 hr)! Rapid orbit (17 hr)! Final orbit (13 days)! 5-10 cm SV position accuracy but vary in satellite clock accuracy! Also JPL, NRCan and others Ionospheric Effects - Short Baseline * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * < 10 KM 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 48
50 GPS for Elevations or Heights! Geoid models! More granularity as time goes by! Associates geoid undulation value with grid points on Earth s surface! System can automatic do two-way interpolation and add correction to ellipsoidal height Caveats for GPS-derived Elevations! Develop check system! Do not bet the farm on it! Use your good judgment! Best to blend other methods if GPS will be used! Don t forget that geoid model or not, that vertical component delivered by GPS is the weakest 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 49
51 Altitude Reference Ellipsoid: A smooth, mathematically defined model of the earth's surface. Geoid: A surface of equal gravitational pull (equipotential) best fitting the average sea surface over the whole globe. MSLE HAE Earth's Surface Ellipsoid Geoid Geometric Relationships Topographic Surface H e h N Geoid H = Ellipsoid Height h = Orthometric Height N = Geoid Undulation Ellipsoid H = h + N e = Deflection of the vertical 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 50
52 Coordinate Systems! GPS measures in WGS-84 Cartesian! Surveyor could be using SPCs, UTMs, other systems! Converting from native GPS system to surveyor s system can be fraught with errors (and mistakes) Calibration/Localization/ Transformation! Calibration performs one function: It converts GPS (WGS-84) measurements into local coordinates 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 51
53 The Calibration! In the order they are applied:! Datum Transformation! Plane Projection. (Possibly derived)! Horizontal (Plane) Adjustment! Rotation! Scale! Translation! Vertical (Height) Adjustment Importance of Calibration! We would like to survey in local coordinates! We would like to stake out in local coordinates! We also need to account for: Survey network noise A height adjustment 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 52
54 Datum Transformation Three Parameter Datum Transformation (Translation in X, Y, Z) Seven Parameter Datum Transformation adds 3 Rotations (Rotation X, Y, Z) Plus Scaling Y Z Y Z X X Field operations 6 and applications 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 53
55 GPS Things to Worry About / 1! Base station location (ha!)! Antenna height! Accessories, accessories, accessories! Effect of geoid Optical plummet Antenna pole bubble Antenna cables Antenna pole straightness Tripod stability Tribrach bubble Antenna pole height! Phase and range measurement errors! Atmospheric attenuation of signal! Phase center errors Don t Forget! How to traverse and triangulate! Redundant baselines as you bring in control! Avoid wagon wheel surveying! Think about how to monitor RTK performance! RTK doesn t solve any and every survey problem 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 54
56 Bringing in Control Static Observation RTK Area No Bringing in Control 2 Static Observation 1 RTK Area 3 YES 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 55
57 ! Network design GPS continued! Meaningless measurements because they are NOT independent! Most flagrant errors caused by not understanding that GPS does NOT measure rover s position it resolves VECTOR between base and rover GPS mistakes (& good technique) Project Area 0 miles J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 56
58 GPS checking! Use an independently adjusted network or using carefully thought-out procedures set up your own! There should be a couple of short to medium-sized lines within easy reach to do quick checks of RTK and static obs.! Observe the network (should be a braced quadrilateral optimally) periodically Suggested GPS Test Network 1 2 C A B 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 57
59 ! Receiver! Antenna! Ground plane! Cables! RTK-related issues! Tribrachs! Tripods! Other accessories Components Networked RTK! Many states, regional agencies and private companies setting these up! Fee or no fee! Quality needs to be examined (and monitored) great project for local associations! When done properly is a huge benefit to user accuracy, time saving, cost, huge productivity plusses 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 58
60 Peripherals Just as important as the main instrumentation Chain is only as strong as its weakest link Don t forget anything! Be constantly evaluating Most important accessory: humans Consider 2014 J.V.R. Paiva & GeoLearn, LLC 59
