Signal architecture for a Distributed Magnetic Local Positioning System

TL;DR: This paper presents the Distributed Magnetic Local Positioning System, which can be used by a mobile robot to measure absolute position and attitude, even in the cluttered environment of an office building or warehouse.

Navigation of Formation Flying Spacecraft using GPS: the PRISMA Technology Demonstration

TL;DR: A single reduced-dynamic Kalman filter has been developed which processes pseudorange and carrier-phase data from both spacecraft in order to exploit the full GPS measurements information at all times.

Reference-free time-based localization for an asynchronous target

TL;DR: This article proposes several reference-free LS estimators based on TOA measurements for a scenario, where anchor nodes are synchronized, and the clock of the target node runs freely, and justifies that the optimal weighting matrix can compensate the influence of the reference selection for reference-based weighted LS (WLS) estimators using ToA measurements.

Carrier-Phase Tracking of Future Data/Pilot Signals

TL;DR: An overview of carrierphase tracking theory is given and the standard case of navigation signals with data is first investigated, including the choice of phase discriminators as well as the impact on carrier-phase tracking of the main sources of error such as thermal noise, oscillator phase noise and vibrations.

Wide Area Differential GPS

TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that normal GPS positioning errors can potentially be reduced by more than 95% using WADGPS.

Ephemeris and Clock Navigation Message Accuracy

J. Zumberge, +1 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of the ephemeris and clock corrections contained in the GPS navigation message is discussed.

GPS and Inertial Integration

TL;DR: This chapter devotes one section to address each of the following questions: how complex are the integration algorithms required to provide the desired level of performance, with options for growth to meet future requirements?

Test Range Instrumentation

TL;DR: In the early 1970s, laser trackers became available to support test activities as discussed by the authors, and a combination of radar, distance-measuring equipment (DME), optical trackers such as cinetheodolites, and other miscellaneous instrumentation to provide time-space position information (TSPI) to satisfy test platform positioning requirements.
