This study presents a new method of differential GPS which is based on distance between GPS receivers. To navigate a robot on unstructured area, different methods have been used. One of the important methods is using GPS. Using single GPS leads to inaccurate navigation of a robot. One way to overcome this problem is using Differential GPS which is based on using one or several based stations and rover receivers. These base stations depend on exact coordinate of its coordinates and without them; this method does not work correctly. To overcome this problem, a method which does not depend on exact position is needed. In this study distance-based differential GPS is proposed. In this method seven fixed GPS receivers and a rover receiver are used. By solving the distances between fixed points, the error of each GPS is found. By using the inverse distance weighting method, the error of rover receiver is found. In this method, exact positions of based points are not needed. This method can be implemented anywhere, therefore local navigation system can be achieved easily.

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...
Satellite attitude determination based on GPS carrier phase measurements
Özten, Evrim; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013)
With the developments in the GPS receiver technology, GPS receivers have been preferable equipments also for the space applications. In the early eighties, they have been used only for position, velocity and time determination. With the further improvements, it has been proven that they can provide not only the positioning information, but also attitude knowledge with the accuracy less than 1 degree. In this thesis, an estimation algorithm is developed in the MATLAB Simulink environment for the attitude det...
Navigation and control of an unmanned sea surface vehicle
Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this study, navigation and control algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are investigated. For this purpose, firstly the mathematical model of a sea surface vehicle with two propellers providing stable maneuvering capabilities is constructed considering Newton-Euler equations. The next phase is to design a suitable navigation algorithm which integrates the solutions of “Inertial Navigation System (INS)” and external aids such as “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)” and magnetometer. At this...
An adaptive unscented kalman filter for tightly-coupled INS/GPS integration
Akça, Tamer; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In order to overcome the various disadvantages of standalone INS and GPS, these systems are integrated using nonlinear estimation techniques and benefits of the two complementary systems are obtained at the same time. The standard and most widely used estimation algorithm in the INS/GPS integrated systems is Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Linearization step involved in the EKF algorithm can lead to second order errors in the mean and covariance of the state estimate. Another nonlinear estimator, Unscented Ka...
Terrain referenced navigation of an aircraft using particle filter
Turan, Burak; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
The need for Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN) arises when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable. In recent years, research on the application of TRN to aerial and underwater vehicles has been increased rapidly with the developments in the accuracy of digital terrain elevation database (DTED). Since the land and sea floor profiles are inherently nonlinear, TRN becomes a nonlinear estimation problem. Because of the highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian problem, linear or linearized ...
