1957年10月, 前苏联 发
射了第一颗人造卫星。从那
时开始,利用卫星进行导航
和定位的研究引起了各国军
事部门的高度重视。
Sputnik
Two scientists of The Johns
Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laborato ry (APL) - - George
Weiffenbach and William Guier --
were able to determine Sputnik's
orbit by analyzing the Doppler shift
of its radio signals during a single
pass. Frank McClure, the chairman
of APL's Research Center, went a
step further by suggesting that
if the satellite’s position were known and predictable, the Doppler shift could be
used to locate a receiver on Earth; in other words, one could navigate by satellite.
Transit is the first operational
satellite-based navigation system.
Although Transit was originally
intended to support the U.S.
Navy’s submarine fleet, the
technologies developed for it
proved useful to the Global
Positioning System (GPS). The
first Transit satellite is launched
in 1959, finished in 1964.
The Transit constellation consisted of two types of spacecraft designated as Oscar (pictured
left) and Nova (right). The other name is dopple navigation satellite system, and it is also
named NNSS(Navy Navigation Satellite System)
Satellite number (卫星数) : 6
Orbit number (轨道数) : 6
Eccentricity (偏心率) : 0(circularity)
Orbital inclination (轨道倾角) : 90°
Satellite period (卫星周期) : 107min
Satellite height (卫星高度) : 1075km

The tone broadcast by Transit at 400MHz by polar orbiting satellites. Actually,
two frequencies were transmitted to correct for ionospheric group delay. Transit
has four tracking stations, one calculating center, one control center, two ground
antenna, one astronomical observatory (navy).

• 通过多普勒频移计算出卫星
移动的径向距离.
• 接收机每次接收一颗卫星的
15-18分钟的信号.
Transit系统的缺点
• Positioning time was too long for one time (每次的定位时间较长): because
the point of intersection was from the same satellite, the two epoch time of satellite
couldn’t too short. Otherwise the distance of the two epoch time’s satellite position
was too near, the precise of user’s positioning was low. At one positioning process,
it was need the observation angle is near 90º, and the time was about 15~18min.
Transit was not very useful for high dynamic applications like airplane and missile.
• The time was too long for satellite presence(每次卫星出现的时间较长): the
receiver of user couldn’t identified the different satellite signals because the
sending signal of the satellite wasn’t adopted TDMA,FDMA and CDMA
technique. It was not permitted two satellites appear at same time, so the satellites
number couldn’t more than six. The user saw one satellite about 1.5hr at middle
latitude region.
• The precise was not very high (定位精度较低) because of three reasons:
(1) The precise of satellite orbit was low (卫星轨道精度低);
(2) The satellite’s signal frequency was low, it was easy effected by ionosphere
(受电离层影响严重);
(3) The satellite clock frequency was not very stable (时钟频率的稳定度低).
Timation satellite system
Timation, a Navy satellite system, is developed
at the Naval Research Lab (NRL) for advancing
the development of high-stability clocks, time-
transfer capability. Timation’s work on space-
qualified time standards provided an important
foundation for GPS. The first Timation satellite is
launched in May 1967.
Timation project used 12 to 18 satellites to
composing the globe positioning system net. The
satellite height was 10,000km, orbit were circle,
period were 8 hr. Timation was a two dimensional
system and could not satisfied high dynamic
condition.
The Aerospace Corporation launches a study on using a space system as the
basis for a navigation system for vehicles moving rapidly in three dimensions.
This led directly to establish 621B. In1963, the Air Force begins its support of
the Aerospace study, designating it’s system 621B. By 1972, the program has
already demonstrated operation of a new type of satellite-ranging signal based
on Pseudo-Random Noise (PRN)
621B
Air Force project 621B can used at high dynamic condition. 621B system
had 3 to 4 constellations, one constellation consisted of 4 to 5 satellites, one
satellite at center was geosynchronous satellite, others used oblique orbit
which period is 24hr. The disadvantages of 621B was the coverage of polar
regions and the station setting.
NAVSEG
In 1968, DoD establishes a tri-service steering committee called NAVSEG
(Navigation Satellite Executive Committee) to coordinate the efforts of the
various satellite navigation groups. NAVSEG contracted a number of studies to
fine-tune the basic satellite navigation concept.
What NAVSEG had to determine?
• How many satellites?-多少颗卫星
• What altitude?-卫星轨道高度
• What would be the signal codes?-采用什么样的信号扩频码
• What would be the modulation techniques – 采用什么调制技术
• Cost – 建设经费
.

NAVSEG manages concept debates
between the various satellite navigation
groups. The Navy APL supported an
expanded Transit while the Navy NRL
pushed for an expanded Timation and the
Air Force pushed for an expanded
synchronous constellation―System 621B‖.
In 1973, the TIMATION program was
merged with the Air Force's 621B
program, with the Air Force being named
as the Executive Service, to form the
NAVSTAR GPS program.

The master control station is located on the
Schriever ( 施 里 弗 ) Air Force Base
(formerly Falcon AFB), about 20 km south of
Colorado Springs.
The master control station get the data
from the monitor stations are processed 24h a
day in real time. As results, information
about orbits and clocks of the satellites are
obtained. Doing this, possible malfunctions
can quickly be detected.
Master Control Station of GPS - GPS 主 控 站
Additionally, from the raw data new ephemeris data are calculated. Once to
twice a day, theses data and other commands are sent back to the satellites via the
transmitting antennae on Ascension Islands, Diego Garcia or Kwajalein by means
of a S-band signal (S-band: 2000 - 4000 MHz).

The ―master control station‖ (Schriever AFB) and four additional monitoring
stations (on Hawaii-夏威夷, Ascension Islands-阿森纳群岛, Diego Garcia-迪戈加
西亚环礁 and Kawajalein -夸贾林环礁 ) were set up for monitoring the satellites.

• These stations are the eyes and ears of GPS, monitoring satellites
as they pass overhead by measuring distances to them every 1.5
seconds.
• This data is then smoothed using ionospheric and
meteorological information and sent to Master Control Station
at Colorado Springs.
• The ionospheric and meteorological data is needed to get more
accurate delay measurements, which in turn improve location
estimation.

GPS 卫星
The space segment consists of at least 24 satellites. The first of the satellites
was brought to its orbit as early as 1978. During the years the satellites became
more and more sophisticated and meanwhile seven different types of these
satellites exist (Block I, Block II, Block IIA, , Block IIR, Block IIR-M, Block
IIF and Block III).
GNSS 接收机
GNSS receivers are highly useful tools. They can provide information on
your current location,velocity,directions to your destination, and feedback on
your progress and performance to your destination.
In different fields, the different performance receiver are needed, like anti-
jamming receiver, high dynamic receiver,high sensitivity.

The important of time – 时间的重要性
• Each GNSS satellite is equipped with two atomic clock at least
– accurate to 3 nanoseconds (0.000000003 s)
– +/- 1 second every 360,000 years
• Ground control stations correct satellites time
• Satellites correct GNSS receivers time
• A discrepancy between satellite and receiver of 1/100 sec could result in an
error of 1860 miles!
• From the base frequency of the atomic
clocks (10.23 MHz) all other frequencies
that are required for the satellite are
derived.

• Distance to a satellite is determined by measuring how long a
radio signal takes to reach us from that satellite.
• To make the measurement we assume that both the satellite and
our receiver are generating the same pseudo-random codes at
exactly the same time.
• By comparing how late the satellite's pseudo-random code
appears compared to our receiver's code, we determine how
long it took to reach us.
• Multiply that travel time by the speed of light and you've got
distance.

Selective Availability (S/A) – 选择性可用
• The Defense Department dithered the satellite time message, reducing position
accuracy to some GPS users.
• S/A was designed to prevent America’s enemies from using GPS against US.
• In May 2000 the DoD reduced S/A to zero meters error.
• S/A could be reactivated at any time by the DoD
GPS Satellite Geometry
Satellite geometry can affect the quality of GPS signals and accuracy of
receiver trilateration.
Dilution of Precision (DOP:精度因子) reflects each satellite’s position
relative to the other satellites being accessed by a receiver.
There are five distinct kinds of DOP.
Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) is the DOP value used most
commonly in GPS to determine the quality of a receiver’s position.
It’s usually up to the GPS receiver to pick satellites which provide the best
position triangulation.
Some GPS receivers allow DOP to be manipulated by the user.

Differential GPS (差分GPS) Differential GPS (DGPS)
• Use two receivers
– Base station with known location and elevation
– Mobile receiver
• Velocity of signal from satellite to receiver is dependent on
atmospheric conditions
• Known error at base station can be applied to measurements by
mobile receiver
• Works best for measurements within 300 miles of base station
– Same atmospheric conditions over both receivers
