Geralmente, o receptor GNSS recebe além do sinal direto, também o sinal refletido, o qual é atrasado em relação ao sinal direto. Conseqüentemente, as medidas de pseudodistância (PD) e fase de batimento da onda portadora são rastreadas para um sinal composto, e não para o sinal direto, causando o erro do multicaminho. Esse efeito é uma fonte de erro significativa que ainda permanece como um desafio para a pesquisa, especialmente para o posicionamento relativo estático e cinemático em aplicações de alta precisão. Diferentemente dos demais erros, o multicaminho não é atenuado quando se formam as duplas diferenças (DD) em uma linha de base curta, por ser um efeito altamente dependente do local do levantamento. Pelo contrário, os erros de multicaminho podem aumentar no processo de dupla diferenciação. Nessa pesquisa foi proposta uma metodologia, viável em termos práticos e econômicos, capaz de detectar e corrigir o efeito do multicaminho nas observações de fase da onda portadora e PD L1 e/ou L2 para aplicações estáticas e cinemáticas, quer sejam pós-processadas ou em tempo real. Essa metodologia é baseada na Análise de Multirresolução (AMR) utilizando a Transformada de Wavelets (TW). A TW é aplicada para decompor as séries temporais dos resíduos das DDs do ajustamento em componentes de freqüências baixa e alta... / GNSS-multipath is a phenomenon that occurs when the signal from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reflects on objects surrounding the survey environment and reaches the receiver antenna through multiple paths. Usually, the GNSS receiver also collects the reflected signal, which is delayed in relation to the direct one. Consequently, the pseudorange (code) and carrier phase measurements are tracked for a composed signal, and not for the direct signal, causing a multipath error. This effect is a significant error source that still remains as a challenge for the research, especially for static and kinematic relative positioning in high-precision applications. Differently from other errors sources, multipath is not attenuated when the double differences (DD) are formed in a short baseline, because this error is highly dependent upon the surrounding environment. On the contrary, multipath errors can even increase in the double differentiation process. In this research a feasible and economic methodology, able of detecting and correcting the multipath effect from the carrier phase and pseudorange L1 and/or L2 for static and kinematic applications, post-processed or in real time. This approach is based on the Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) using the Wavelet Transform (WT)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The thesis deals with the possibility of fixing the position of the machine through the use of satellite systems for agriculture. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part includes three chapters, which are described most famous satellite navigation systems which include GPS systems GLONAS, Galileo and Beidou. Most attention is paid to the GPS system, the work is described its history, functions, each system accuracy, influences affecting the precision guidance signals and correcting their mistakes. Error correction is divided into DGPS, RTK and VRS RTK systems. This is followed by describing the indicators that affect the accuracy of broadcast signals from space satellites. The last theoretical part describes the benefits of parallel guidance of machinery in agriculture in collaboration with boundary management. The practical part is focused on field trail measure, which described the impact of working conditions stand for precision guidance for land assessment and evaluation of the measurement results.

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper presents the results of land-based SHF channel modeling experiments. Channel modeling data were collected at Edwards AFB, California at S-Band, X-Band and Ku-band. Frequency domain analysis techniques were used to evaluate candidate channel models. A graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to search for the optimum channel parameters. The model parameters corresponding to different frequencies were compared for multipath events captured at approximately the same locations. A general trend was observed where the magnitude of the first multipath reflection decreased as frequency increased and the delay remained relatively unchanged.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The impact of multipath fading parameters on the probability of error for Offset QPSK (OQPSK) is derived. The multipath fading channel is modeled using the aeronautical telemetry channel model [1-2]. Expressions for the probability of bit error are derived that are a function of the multipath model parameters. The expressions are shown to agree with computer simulations and show that a strong multipath reflection with a short delay causes much more degradation than a weak multipath reflection with a long delay.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Multipath (MP) fading is the dominant channel impairment in many aeronautical telemetry links. One product of a recent multipath mitigation study is the discovery of a simple technique for detecting its presence over a useful range of conditions. The technique also detects significant random noise levels in the channel. This paper describes the “Signal Degradation Indicator” (SDI) and its application to FQPSK-B and SOQPSK [2] modulation. Laboratory emulation data is presented and implementation considerations are discussed.

ITC/USA 2008 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fourth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 27-30, 2008 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / In this paper, we propose the exploitation of array beamforming technology in high-speed aeronautical communication applications, e.g., the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) system. By flexible steering of beams and nulls, an array can enhance desired signals whereas the undesired signals such as interference and jammers are suppressed. The proposed adaptive beamforming technology is DSP-based and network-aware, and is designed for the use at aerial vehicle platforms to increase transmission power efficiency, improve receiving signal sensitivity, mitigate interference/multipath effects, and extend the communication range.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Initial results of wideband channel sounding experiments sponsored by the Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) program are presented. Data collected at Edwards EAFB during the Winter 1998-1999, are analyzed in the frequency domain to estimate the number, strength, and delays of the significant multipath reflections observed during the experiments. We observe that the channel is adequately modeled using two or three multipath reflections. The multipath fade events are correlated with recorded bit error rates and transmitter location to provide a comprehensive overview of the channel characteristics. Summaries from two test flights are included where it is seen that the 2- and 3-ray channel models provide excellent models for the data. In general, the 3-ray model captures the essential features of the multipath interference. In this model the first multipath is a strong specular reflection with relative amplitude greater than 0.5 and relative delay in the 30 to 70 ns range. The second multipath is a much weaker reflection with relative amplitude less than 0.5 and relative delay in the 175 to 325 ns range.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes the two main causes of fading encountered at test ranges. The first cause of fading results from nulls in the transmit antenna gain pattern. Variations in the received signal level are a result of changes in the gain pattern as the spatial relationship between transmitter and receiver change. The second cause of fading is due to multipath interference. This occurs when multiple copies of the transmitted signal with different delays arrive at the receiver and are phased relative to each other so that destructive interference occurs.
