An Innovative Navigation Algorithm Using a System of Fixed Pseudolites

Ilir F. Progri and William R. Michalson

Abstract:	An innovative navigation algorithm, which utilizes a system of fixed pseudolites is derived, analyzed, discussed, and simulated in this paper. Although this algorithm uses the same Doppler measurements as a conventional least square algorithm LSA (which produces user velocity and user clock drift) or Kalman based filter (which obtains user position/velocity etc.), in essence the Doppler measurements are applied differently and therefore this is the reason why this is an innovative algorithm. The solution accuracy obtained using this algorithm is compared with solution accuracy from the conventional pseudorange LSA. The result of this comparison is also presented in the paper. We will desire to present live test results if they are available at the time of presentation.
