  • Monitoring station location determination for a satellite navigation system
    Patent number: 6138074
    Abstract: In a global positioning system, satellites transmit navigation signals to users which determine their position from the received navigation signals. A wide area differential correction system employs receiving stations in fixed positions on the ground and compares ranges between the receiving stations and the satellites measured from the navigation signals with the actual ranges between the satellites and the receiving stations to determine correction information including corrections in the satellite clock times and the satellite positions to be transmitted to the users and from which the users can more accurately determine their positions.
