The signal may bounce off various local obstructions before it gets to our receiver. This is called multipath error and is similar to the ghosting

you might see on a TV. Good receivers use sophisticated signal rejection techniques to minimize this problem. Multipath Error The whole concept of GPS relies on the idea that a GPS signal flies straight from the satellite to the receiver. Unfortunately, in the real world the signal will also bounce around on just about everything in the local environment and get to the receiver that way too. The result is a barrage of signals arriving at the receiver: first the direct one, then a bunch of delayed reflected ones. This creates a messy signal. If the bounced signals are strong enough they can confuse the receiver and cause erroneous measurements. Sophisticated receivers use a variety of signal processing tricks to make sure that they only consider the earliest arriving signals (which are the direct ones). View the Animation Problems at the satellite Even though the satellites are very sophisticated they do account for some tiny errors in the system. The atomic clocks they use are very, very precise but they're not perfect. Minute discrepancies can occur, and these translate into travel time measurement errors. And even though the satellites positions are constantly monitored, they can't be watched

But in the real world there are lots of things that can happen to a GPS signal that will make its life less than mathematically perfect. To get the most out of the system, a good GPS receiver needs to take a wide variety of possible errors into account. Here's what they've got to deal with. View the Animation First, one of the basic assumptions we've been using throughout this tutorial is not exactly true. We've been saying that you calculate distance to a satellite by multiplying a signal's travel time by the speed of light. But the speed of light is only constant in a vacuum. As a GPS signal passes through the charged particles of the ionosphere and then through the water vapor in the troposphe
Accuracy The degree of conformance between the estimated http://www.edu-observatory.org/gps/gps_accuracy.html or measured position, time, and/or velocity of a GPS receiver and its true time, position, and/or velocity as compared with a constant standard. Radionavigation system accuracy is usually presented as a statistical measure of system http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/GISDictionary/term/HDOP error and is characterized as follows: Predictable - The accuracy of a radionavigation system's position solution with respect to the charted solution. Both the position solution and the chart must be based upon the same error in geodetic datum. Repeatable - The accuracy with which a user can return to a position whose coordinates have been measured at a previous time with the same navigation system. Relative - The accuracy with which a user can measure position relative to that of another user of the same navigation system at the same time. Estimated Position Error (EPE) and Error Sources EPE (1-sigma) = error in gps HDOP * UERE (1-sigma) (1) Multiplying the HDOP * UERE * 2 gives EPE (2drms) and is commonly taken as the 95% limit for the magnitude of the horizontal error. The probability of horizontal error is within an ellipse of radius 2drms ranges between 0.95 and 0.98 depending on the ratio of the ellipse semi-axes. User Equivalent Range Error (UERE) is computed in the tables lower on this page. EPE (2drms) = 2 * HDOP * SQRT [URE^2 + UEE^2] (2) HDOP (Horizontal Geometric Dilution of Precision), GDOP, PDOP and VDOP are determined by the geometry of the current satellites visible above the receiver's mask angle with respect to user receiver's antenna. DOPs can be degraded (made larger) by signal obstruction due to terrain, foliage, building, vehicle structure, etc. URE (User Range Error) is an estimate of "Signals in Space" errors, i.e., ephemeris data, satellite clocks, ionospheric delay and tropospheric delay. These errors can be greatly reduced by differential and multiple frequency techniques. Differential correction sources include user provided reference stations, community base stations, governmental beacon transmissions, FM sub-carrier transmissions and geosynchronous satellite transmissions. UEE (User Equipment Errors) includes receiver noise
