This practical lecture is devoted to analyze and assess different issues associated with Standard and Precise Point Positioning with actual GPS measurements. The laboratory exercises will be developed using the ESA/UPC GNSS-Lab Tool suite (gLAB), which is an interactive software package for GNSS data processing and analysis. Some examples of gLAB capabilities and usage will be shown before starting the laboratory session.
The laboratory session will consist in a set of exercises organized in three different levels of difficulty (Basic, Medium and Advanced). Its content ranges from a first glance assessment of the different model components involved on a Standard or Precise Positioning, to the kinematic positioning of a LEO satellite, as well as an in-depth analysis of the GPS measurements and associated error sources.
