1.4.7 Positioning Strategies

RANGE-DIFFERENCING OF
AMBIGUOUS RANGES


It is also possible to difference the observations from the same receiver to the same satellite, but made at different epochs:

 (1.4-12)

 

There are three independent "between-epoch" differences in which the three constant satellite-receiver specific biases 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 biases as additional parameters in equation (1.4-11).
