The Relative Range Error Measurement Technique

Steven Lamar and A. Fred Bowen

Abstract:	In this paper, a novel method of determining ranging errors without the use of an atomic standard is presented. The Relative Range Error technique is especially suited for detecting single space vehicle problems and assessing the impact on a specific GPS receiver. This method of GPS analysis was used to gauge the degradation of GPS navigation service due to the discontinuation of uploads. Space vehicle data was collected for up to 19 days of extended navigation and analyzed for ranging and positioning errors.
