1.4.5 Positioning Strategies

SATELLITE-BIASED
RANGE-DIFFERENCE POSITIONING



It is possible to difference the observations between-receivers for the same satellite:

(1.4-9)

These are three independent "between-receiver" differences in which the three satellite clock error parameters have been eliminated. As before, it is possible to proceed and linearise this model and obtain an estimate of the 3-D coordinates. The solution would be equivalent (same 3-D coordinate components and VCV matrix) to explicitly estimating the clock errors as additional parameters in eqn (1.4-8).
