GPS SVN 49 and JAVAD GNSS Triumph Technologies

The anomalies in the recently launched SVN49(PRN1) was a chance to demonstrate the advanced multipath reduction capabilities of JAVAD GNSS Triumph technologies.

Figure below shows SNV49 (PRN1) code-minus-phase plot for usual correlator (magenta - C/A code, brown - P/L1 code) and for "mpnew" (red - C/A code, green - P/L1 code), which shows almost all anomalies and satellite multipath are removed.

Figures below also describe the multipath performance of a pair of Triumph-1 receivers we ran in a zero baseline test. The left figure depicts the code multipath errors of the GPS PRN1 pseudoranges measured by the receiver with the 'normal' strobe enabled. The right figure shows the code multipath as estimated for the second receiver, where the optimized multipath reduction strobe was enabled. The top right screenshot displays the signal-to-noise ratios and elevation angles of GPS SVN49 over the time interval analyzed.

The optimized multipath mitigation technique implemented in our Triumph technology allows nearly complete compensation for the satellite-induced multipath anomalies that would otherwise badly affect GPS SVN49 measurements. The same multipath reduction capabilities which removed the SVN49 multipath anomalies can remove the multipath effects which are a major source of error in precision positioning.
