The Effect of Antenna Covers On GPS Baseline Solutions
[Next] [Previous] [Top] The Effect of Antenna Covers On GPS Baseline Solutions Experiment DescriptionThe general way of testing these covers is to occupy a baseline with two antennas of the same model. This baseline is measured for one or two days without any protective covering. Once the local error sources have been characterized for that baseline, a cover is mounted over one of the antennas. The differences between the solutions with and without the cover can be assumed to be caused by the cover. For short baselines, like the ones in these tests, a pair of similar covers mounted over both of the antennas produces a common mode error that would difference out on the single difference level (the observations between two stations, and one satellite).
Two locations were used for these tests. The first was the roof of the UNAVCO facility, the second was near the Table Mountain Gravity Observatory (TMGO). Once the data was collected, it was processed using various schemes. In general, the data processing is described below.
