A COMPARISON OF SEVERAL TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE SIGNAL MULTIPATH FROM THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

Earlier Global Positioning System (GPS) tests and analyses have demonstrated that signal multipath can cause large variations in the pseudorange measurement. The multipath environments are compared by computing the standard deviations from the pseudorange measurements over several hours. These have ranged from 1.3 m in a benign environment to 4.0 and 5.0 m in a highly reflective environment.
