Abstracts

EN

This study presents the operation basis of GPS global positioning system and augmentation systems used to increase positioning accuracy. Furthermore, selected measurement results for an EGNOS-augmented GPS receiver positioning are included along with an analysis of GIS measurements accuracy, performed using differential corrections. This analysis takes into consideration the impact of the number of measurement series and satellite constellation on the accuracy of positioning achieved in praxis using the EGNOS system.
