Abstract:	Generally, GPS is used in order to measure precise position of receiving point using only the direct signal from GPS satellite. Purpose of our study is to measure oceanic wave information using a sea surface reflected GPS signal. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating an oceanic wavelength by measuring propagation time interval between two correlator outputs of a direct signal and a sea surface reflection signal. Next, we evaluate our proposed method by a numerical simulation. Consequently we have enough accurate results for estimating an oceanic wavelength by means of a sea surface reflected GPS signal.
