Investigation of an alternate method of processing global positioning survey data collected in kinematic mode

Abstract

Kinematic survey phase data are reduced using a standard double difference formulation when the initial integer values of the biases are known or determined. Two experimental results are presented. A byproduct of the reduction was the generation of a measure of success similar to the Geometrical Dilution of Precision (GDOP) familiar to those using measurements of pseudo ranges. This new measure is called RDOP for Relative Dilution of Precision.
