  • Patent number: 11789162
    Abstract: A first bias conversion unit converts, based on a first frequency and a second frequency, a signal bias related to carrier phase for correcting a carrier phase contained in a first ranging signal having the first frequency, to a signal bias related to carrier phase for correcting a carrier phase contained in a second ranging signal having the second frequency. A first correction unit corrects the carrier phase using the converted signal bias. A second bias conversion unit converts the signal bias related to pseudorange to the signal bias related to pseudorange by making reference to a conversion table indicating values for use in conversion of the signal bias related to pseudorange to the signal bias related to pseudorange. A second correction unit corrects a pseudorange using the converted signal bias.

  • Patent number: 9310489
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transmitter comprising: a plurality of antennas; and a radio transmitting part transmitting from each of the antennas a positional information signal containing the same positional information, the positional information being transmitted from the antennas through channels which are different between the antennas. The transmitter enables prevention of the positioning error and the positioning time from increasing by solving problems of null points and signal interferences, problems relating to a positional information transmitter disposed indoors, in a positioning system for acquiring a current position both indoors and outdoors.
