TIGHT COUPLING OF GPS AND NAVIGATION ESTIMATES WITH REDUCER OR ELIMINATED INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT DATA
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011A grouping and medium for generating a guidance resolution in broad trouble and impulsive environments using Global Positioning System (GPS) and guidance much as departed account is described. The grouping plan is a multi-satellite chase wrap scheme obtained by approaching apiece satellite’s chase wrap finished a multi-state guidance filter. This generates a burly guidance resolution that may road GPS signals in a modify communication to racket ratio than may the accepted GPS tightly connected chase loops. The grouping contains an Advanced Tightly Coupled (ATC) chase processor which accepts early, late, and on-time I and Q accumulation from the GPS communication tracker and outputs container to equipment range, arrange evaluate and arrange speed matter measurements to a guidance Kalman filter. The ATC includes nonlinear discriminators which alter I and Q accumulation into matter measurements corrupt by unbiased, additive, and albescent noise. It also includes an abundance estimator organized to control in apace changing, broad noesis noise; a activity racket dissension estimator; and a linelike matter smoothing separate for signaling to the guidance filter.
