WAAS Beschreibung

WAAS ist ein DGPS-System über den Vereinigten Staaten, die GPS Satellitendaten überwachen, aus einem Netzwerk der Referencestationen. Die Masterstationen holen Daten von den Referencestationen ab und senden eine GPS-Korrektur Mitteilung und account selective availability (SA) , GPS Satellitenumlaufbahn und stoppt Treiben, und von der Atmosphäre und der Ionosphäre verursachte Signalverzögerungen. Die korrigierten '' unterscheidenden Mitteilungen sind, strahlen Sie dann Satelliten auf der gleichen Häufigkeit wie dem GPS signalisieren durch zwei Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) aus. Das Ergebnis ist ein DGPS-System, das überlegene Genauigkeit liefert, (< 3 Meter).

WAAS Overview

WAAS consists of a network of ground reference stations across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. The master stations collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS satellite orbit and clock drift, and signal delays caused by the atmosphere and ionosphere. The ‘corrected’ differential messages are then broadcast through two Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites on the same frequency as the GPS signal. The result is a DGPS system that delivers superior accuracy (<3 meters).

Currently in the testing phase the EGNOS system is a joint project of the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission (EC), Eurocontrol, and the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. Like WAAS the system consist of a network of ground based ranging integrity monitoring stations (RIMS) that monitor GPS satellite data. The RIMS collect data on the GPS signal and transmit the data via land-based networks to central processing centers. The central processing centers then create a GPS correction message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS satellite orbit and clock drift, and signal delays caused by the atmosphere and ionosphere. These 'corrected' differential messages are then broadcast through a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite on the same frequency as the GPS signal across Europe. GPS receivers equipped to receive the signal then process the correction message for improved accuracy and integrity.

The EGNOS System Test Bed (ESTB) is currently underway and is expected produce a fully operation EGNOS system by 2004.
