There exist various algorithms (signal acquisition, tracking, etc.), methods (RTK (Real Time Kinematic), DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), etc.) or aid systems (SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems), INS (Inertial Navigation System) aid etc.) to improve the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning accuracy. The positioning accuracy of different systems is usually determined by using a test setup which includes costly hardware and software units. In order to compare positioning performances of GPS, GLONASS and carrier based algorithms, namely LAMBDA (Least-squares Ambiguity De-correlation Adjustment) method, in a cost effective manner, a software platform is developed. GNSS SDR (Software Defined Radio) receiver approach provides ease in modification of algorithms to meet the expectations of different types of applications. In the light of this approach, single L1 frequency GPS and GLONASS SDR algorithms are implemented in MATLAB. IF (Intermediate Frequency) sampled data is taken from the commercial IFEN GNSS receiver to test the algorithms. In order to improve the positioning accuracy, GPS-GLONASS combined solution and two receiver positioning algorithms, namely LAMBDA method, for GPS L1 single frequency approach are implemented. It is observed that GLONASS solution is in general less accurate than GPS solution. Furthermore, GPS-GLONASS combined solution approaches to GPS solution which reveals the fact that combined solution is useful when some GPS satellites are not observable. Moreover, a tracking lock status indicator in signal tracking loops is implemented to improve the accuracy for dynamic scenario. Finally, it is shown that LAMBDA method can achieve centimeter level accuracy in two-receiver configuration.

GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01)
In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
Direction finding performance of antenna arrays on complex platforms using numerical electromagnetic simulation tools
Özeç, Mustafa Onur; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
An important step for the design of direction finding systems is the performance evaluation using numeric electromagnetic simulation tools. In this thesis, a method is presented for both modeling and simulation in a numeric electromagnetic simulation tool FEKO. The method relies on the data generated by FEKO. The data is then processed by correlative interferometer algorithm. This process is implemented in a MATLAB environment. Different types of antenna arrays including dipole, monopole and discone antenna...
Vector tracking loop design for GPS receivers
Üzel, Deniz; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
This study describes the design of a modern GPS receiver architecture based on vector tracking loops. Since the traditional tracking loops process the signals independently, there is no information exchange between channels. Due to that fact, aiding of weaker signals in the presence of relatively strong signals is impossible. On the other hand, vector tracking loops simultaneously process the signals from all visible channels. Therefore, they are able to perform better than the traditional tracking loops in...
Measurement correction of a set of analog sun sensors via neural network
Sozen, Semsettin Numan; Gokce, Murat; Yavuzyilmaz, Cagatay; Gulmammadov, Farid; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-06-23)
A Neural Network (NN) based method to improve the accuracy of a set of analog Sun sensors is presented. Analog Sun Sensors are commonly used on satellites due to their reduced cost, small size and low power consumption. However, especially in Earth imaging satellites, they are prone to the Earth albedo effects. Magnitude and direction of albedo change depending on the reflection characteristics of the Earth's surface, position and attitude of the satellite and position of the Sun. The albedo may deteriorate...
Investigation of the star tracker algorithms and kalman filter integration
Sargın Güçlü, Selva; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
This research outlines the investigation of star tracker algorithms and Kalman Filter implementation of star tracker aided INS. In the first chapter, the usage areas of the star tracker sensor was investigated. The purposes to use this sensor were also included. Furthermore, the sensor architecture and algorithms were examined. In the second chapter, the three main steps of the star tracker algorithms were investigated. First of all, literature survey about centroiding algorithms was done and two of them we...
