WADGPS Ionospheric Correction Model Performance Simulation

Tysen Mueller, Bob Hamry and Andrew Johnson

Abstract: A Monte Carlo performance simulation was developed to predict the performance of a Wide Area DGPS ionospheric correction model - the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JW GlPSYfTRlN ionospheric correction software. WADGPS network architectures, such as for the FAA’s Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), require that ionospheric corrections be computed for a geographic matrix of grid points using dual- frequency (code-less) GPS measurements obtained from a network of reference stations. The output from this performance simulation is the WADGPS Grid Ionospheric Vertical Error (GIVE) and the corresponding User Ionospheric Vertical Error (UIVE).
