Zusammenfassung

Multipath is the phenomenon whereby the signal from a satellite arrives at the receiver via multiple paths due to reflection and diffraction. These nondirect-path signals distort the received signal and cause errors in code and phase measurements. Differential techniques do not eliminate multipath and thus multipath is an important error source in high precision applications. The physical surroundings around the receiver’s antenna dictate the multipath environment and thus cause significant differences for land, marine, airborne, and spaceborne users.
This chapter describes the multipath environment and presents models describing the impact of multipath on code and phase measurements. The influence of the type and rate of the broadcast code as well as the receiver architecture will be highlighted. Mitigation techniques based on receiver design will also be described along with the impact of receiver dynamics. Finally, a technique to measure multipath is described and its usage in evaluating static environments is discussed.
The goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with the tools to assess the impact of multipath on both the code and phase and to understand the performance improvements and limitations associated with various multipath mitigation techniques.
