EVALUATION OF THE REPEATABILITY OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO GPS SATELLITE ORBITAL PASSES.

This study is aimed at addressing a mistake made in the authors' previous paper on Global Positioning System (GPS) static multipath simulation (Dinesh et al., 2013), whereby it was indicated that GPS performance is repeatable for every GPS satellite orbital pass of approximately 11 h, 58 min. GPS satellites only return to the original positions with respect to the earth at every two GPS satellite orbital passes of approximately 23 h, 56 min, and hence, GPS performance is only repeatable for that period. This study demonstrates the repeatability of GPS performance with respect to GPS satellite orbital passes. It is further extended to verify the findings in Dinesh et al. (2013) in regards to GPS performance in various static multipath conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
