Satellite Navigation Using Doppler and Partial Pseudorange Measurements
Have we outgrown the use of Doppler measurements for position fixing? It seems not. In this month’s column, we’ll take a look at a GNSS positioning technique that uses admittedly inaccurate Doppler-based position fixes as a first step in producing an accurate fix using just a snapshot of recorded Doppler frequency and code-phase data with no need to decode the navigation message. Old dog, new tricks.
