Abstract

In this paper a MATLAB toolbox for determining the attitude of a rigid platform by means of multiple non-dedicated antennas using global positioning system is presented. The programs embedded in this toolbox cover the RINEX data analysis, single point positioning, differential positioning, coordinate conversion, attitude determination, and other auxiliary functions. After forming the baselines through double-differenced (carrier phase smoothed) code observables, the attitude parameters are obtained by applying the direct attitude computation and the least squares attitude estimation. The theoretical background is summarized, and some hints regarding the software implementation are given in the paper. Moreover, improvements yielding an expanded functionality are proposed.
