摘要:
Apparatus and methods for resolving integer ambiguities in position determination. An embodiment of the invention includes a reference system, augmented with multi-frequency pseudolites using a carrier phase differential GPS implementation, and a mobile system. In one embodiment, the components of the reference system includes one or more multi-frequency pseudolites, one or more multi-frequency reference receivers, a data link standing alone or built into the pseudolites, and the associated antennae for each of these elements. The components of the reference system may be stationary. The mobile system may include a multi-frequency receiver and its associated antennae. Because the mobile systems may passively receive information, an unlimited number of mobile systems may be included in any given embodiment of the invention. A multi-frequency pseudolite uses a single frequency source to synthesize all of the multiple carrier frequencies and all of the multiple base band signals modulated onto carrier frequencies for transmission.

Methods for secure communication of location and other information by two spaced apart receivers in a location determination (LD) system, such as GPS, GLONASS and LORAN-C, that use pseudorange corrections to enhance the accuracy of the computed present location of an LD receiver. A pseudorange correction signal PRC(t;i;j), presenting a correction of a pseudorange measurement made at time t at an LD receiver number i from an LD signal issued by an LD signal source number j, is transmitted at a consecutive sequence of times t=t.sub.0, t.sub.1, t.sub.2, . . . , t.sub.n. The pseudorange correction signal PRC(t.sub.n ;i;j), or a message sent in a time interval t.sub.n-1
