 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all I thank The Almighty for the successful of this seminar of
mine.

I am extremely thankful to our Principal who had allowed me to conduct

the seminar at the college campus which had taught many lessons in the
field of public speaking.

I am extremely grateful to Smt. Geetha.A.S the Head of the Department

of Electronics Engineering for helping me to take the seminar on this
topic, also for the kind help she had extended to me for the presentation
of the seminar.

Very special thanks to Smt.Minu Theresa Jose Lecturer in Department of

Electronics Engineering who have given her presence throughout the
conduct of the seminar and given me a lot of guidelines so that I could
improve a lot in my seminar.

I would like to convey my special thanks to all the teachers and staffs

of the Department of Electronics Engineering for their encouragements.

At last my special thanks go to my friends and family for all the moral
support and motivation
 ABSTRACT

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most common surveying

instrument today where we can obtain accuracies of high order with a
speed and cost efficiency that has not previously been available to the
survey community. Precise positioning is possible using GPS
receivers at reference locations providing correction and relative
positioning data for remote receivers.
The main objective of this thesis is to do practical evaluation of the
influence of GPS error sources, processing strategies and reference
stations on positioning accuracy e.g. single point positioning solution
and relative positioning solution with different reference stations.
In GPS relative work, precise reference stations should be available
that to obtain precise GPS baseline. Sometimes, a reference station is
not available near the worked area. So it can be created and the results
of the project will depend on it. Many factors affect creating the
reference station and those factors will be studied in this thesis.
Accuracy of the relative (surveying) mode of GPS observations
depends on some factors such as: Collecting the observations,
processing them and tying the results with the reference stations. The
factors affecting the relative mode will be investigated.
. The International GNSS Service (IGS), formerly the International
GPS Service, is a voluntary federation of more than 200 worldwide
agencies that pool resources and permanent GPS & GLONASS
station data to generate precise GPS & GLONASS products. The IGS
is committed to providing the highest quality data and products as the
standard for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in support
of Earth science research, multidisciplinary applications, and
education. Currently the IGS includes two GNSS, GPS and the
Russian GLONASS, and intends to incorporate future GNSS. You
can think of the IGS as the highest-precision international civilian
GPS community.
Finally, we can get specifications for each case study of positioning
techniques to help GPS users to select the best-fit type to achieve the
purpose of project with the required accuracy.
Unified and permanent broadcasting GPS stations in Egypt will be
investigated and suggested in this thesis these stations are important
for precise and unified GPS work in Egypt and to participate in
international systems such as IGS & ITRF.
