Simulation of Tropospheric Effects for Satellite Navigation

Kurzfassung

As part of an navigation end-to-end simulator a troposphere module was developed, which simulates group and phase delay, attenuation and noise due to dry gases, water vapor and rain. Simulation results are compared with different commonlyused tropospheric correction models. Regional and temporal analyses of delay and signal-to-noise ratio and the effect of tropospheric delay on the position solution are shown for typical scenarii.
