 Abstract
 Normal GPS (Global Positioning System) is not accurate
enough for the applications.
 For greater accuracy, a Differential GPS syste1n will be
Implemented. To do this, two OPS units are required. A
base station, with a known position, end error correction
data to a Mobile unit.

 The error correction data is set wirelessly through radio link

 The data can then be viewed on a laptop computer statistical

analysis.
Introduction
What is DGPS
DGPS is a satellite-based for Navigation.
DGPS irnproves the GPS position and speed measurements.
DGPS provides perfect location wthin 10 crn.

 History of GPS
 Global positioning system is developed and funded by US
Government and managed by department of defense.
 1973 - Decision to develop a satellite navigation system
for military.
 1974 -1979 conducted system tests by US air force and
navy.

 2000 - Final deactivation of SA to give positional accuracy of

20M fro1n I OOM.

 2005 -Launching of tl1e IIRM GPS satellite that supports the

new military signal and the second civil signal .
 History of
DGPS
This technique was accuracy and integrity. This technique was
developed in the early 1980s, and it is developed in the early
1980s, and it is widely used in various forms.

 DGPS in Detail
 DGPS is a method of improving the accuracy of your receiver
by adding a local reference station to augment the in fomation
available from the satellites. It also improves the integrity of
the whole GPS systen1 by identifying certain errors.
 Differential GPS uses one unit at a known location and a rover
,
 The stationary unit compares its calculated GPS location with
.
, the actual location and computes the error.
 The rover data is adjusted for the error.

Error Possibilities in
GPS
 The receiver is not synchrorized witlh the ato1nic clock in the
satellite.
 The estimate of the position of the satellite.

 "Multi path errors" : Ghost signals from "Multi path errors" : Ghost
signals from reflected radio waves.

 Not free sight to many enough satellites.

 Noise in the receiver.

 Advantages

 DGPS helps to know perfect location on tl1e earth.

 Provide accurate data witl1in a minute

OPS is quite accurate; however, using DGPS pushes its

accuracy even further.
GPS/DGPS makes guidance every precise as oppose its.
 Limitations

 The coverage area to take advantage of DGPS is limited.

To ensure greater coverage area more DGPS stations

need to be added.
 The position accuracy degrades as the separation
between DGPS and aircraft GPS-Rx increases.
 Applications
Air Navigation
By using it a pilot can receive constant in format ion
about wl1ere the plane is in 3 dimensions.
Weather forecasting
 Where atmospheric information can be gained from its
effects on the satellite signals.
Train Control
For such things as avoiding collisions and ·
routing.
Marine, Ship Navigation
By using it a ship can receive constant
information about location and parking location on
port.
