The Principle of a Snapshot Navigation Solution Based on Doppler Shift

Jonathan Hill

Abstract:	This document considers the feasibility of a snapshot navigation solution based solely on the measure of Doppler Shift from several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites in view. The system is passive in that Doppler information is produced as a byproduct of received GPS signals. It is shown that while it is possible to produce such a navigation solution, the underlying geometry causes the quality of the estimate to be poor.
