Differential GPS (DGPS): How it Works and Its Benefits

Other subjects2.63 KB

Differential GPS (DGPS)

The DGPS (Differential GPS) is a system that provides GPS receivers with corrections to the data received from GPS satellites in order to provide greater precision in the calculated position. It was designed mainly due to the introduction of selective availability (SA). The rationale lies in the fact that the errors produced by the GPS system apply equally (or very similarly) to the receivers close together. The errors are strongly correlated in coming receivers.

A GPS receiver fixed on the ground (reference) that knows exactly where it is based on other techniques, gets the position given by GPS, and can calculate the errors caused by GPS compared with its known position. This receiver transmits the error correction...
