Communication and radio determination system using two geostationary satellites. II. Analysis of positioning accuracy

A new communication and radio determination system has been developed and experiments to evaluate the positioning accuracy of the system have been made. Theoretical estimates of the positioning accuracy and the results of experimental data analysis are presented. The relationship between the positioning error and the satellite ephemeris error while considering the dynamics of orbital motions are the main topics of discussion. Estimated improvements in positioning accuracy using benchmark stations are also described.
