    摘要: A method and apparatus for computing a lever arm correction between a wide beam coverage antenna and a steerable spot beam antenna of a navigational satellite is disclosed. A navigation receiver computes the lever arm correction using information from the navigational satellite that allows both the position of the navigational satellite and the navigational receiver to be determined using a known geometry of the steerable spot beam antenna and a prescribed satellite attitude maneuver profile.

    摘要: GPS gyro calibration methods and systems are described. In an embodiment, a ground station can receive antenna position data for a spot beam antenna from a global positioning system (GPS) platform where the antenna position data indicates a boresight direction of the spot beam antenna. GPS-enabled receiver(s) can receive scan signals transmitted via the spot beam antenna of the GPS platform, and the GPS-enabled receivers can determine signal power measurements for each of the scan signals. The ground station can receive the signal power measurements from the GPS-enabled receiver(s) and estimate a pointing error of the spot beam antenna based on the signal power measurements and the antenna position data received from the GPS platform. The ground station can then determine gyro calibration parameters from the estimated pointing error and communicate the gyro calibration parameters to the GPS platform to calibrate for gyro drift errors.

    摘要: Navigation signal group delay calibration methods and systems are described. In an embodiment, a code signal generated in a navigation system platform can be measured where the code signal includes timing delay(s). An additional code signal generated in the navigation system platform can be measured where the additional code signal is designated as a timing reference signal. A differential group delay between the code signal and the timing reference signal can the be mathematically estimated in the navigation system platform to correct for an inaccurate position estimation that would result from the timing delay(s).

    摘要: User equipment navigation solution with position determination of a navigation signal reflector methods and systems are described. In an embodiment, navigation signals transmitted from global positioning system (GPS) platform(s) can be received at a GPS-enabled receiver as direct navigation signals and reflected navigation signals. The direct navigation signals can then be isolated from the reflected navigation signals. Receiver range measurements can be determined from the direct navigation signals which are received via direct signal paths from the GPS platform(s), and a navigation solution of the GPS-enabled receiver can then be resolved from the receiver range measurements. Similarly, reflector range measurements can be determined from the reflected navigation signals which are received via reflected signal paths from a signal reflector, and a position of the signal reflector can then be resolved from the reflector range measurements at the GPS-enabled receiver.

    摘要: An improved approach to satellite-based navigation (e.g., GPS) is provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first set of tracking information. A nominal orbital path for the navigation satellite is determined using the first set of tracking information. Ephemeris data corresponding to the nominal orbital path is computed and uploaded to the navigation satellite. Long-term navigation information corresponding to the nominal orbital path is transmitted to a communication system for broadcast to a plurality of navigation devices. A second set of tracking information is received, an orbital path of the navigation satellite using the second set of tracking information is predicted, and a difference between the predicted orbital path and the nominal orbital path is determined. Commands configured to instruct the navigation satellite to adjust an actual orbital path of the navigation satellite to substantially conform to the nominal orbital path are uploaded to the navigation satellite.
