GPS Azimuth Determining System (ADS) Cycle Resolution, System Design, and Army Test Results

Richard D. Jurgens, Charles E. Rodgers, and Leopold C. Fan

Abstract:	Determining System (ADS) based on the interferometry of GPS carrier signals. This paper presents the theory of the ADS’s operation. It, also, details the system’s unique three antenna, dual baseline design. The completed prototype was tested by the US Army at the Field Artillery School at Ft. Sill. This paper presents the test procedures and results. The major result was that the system’s azimuth measuring accuracy averaged 1.2 mils (0.0675 degrees) during the test. The test results are used as a basis for a performance analysis of the system.
