Evaluation of SPINSAT GPS Receiver Navigation Accuracy

R. Sfeir, R. Najarian, R. Weninger

Abstract:	A two-channel GPS receiver that provides absolute position, velocity and time for low, earth orbiting vehicles has been developed for the Navy’s Special Purpose Inexpensive Satellite (SPINSAT) program by Rockwellls Satellite and Space Electronics Division. This paper reviews the receiver mechanization and presents navigation performance results obtained by using a multi-channel GPS Simulation and Evaluation System (SEVS). The SEVS generates six GPS satellite Ll and L2 signals representing the signal environment for a low, earth orbiting user.
