Homework AE4E08, lecture 4

1.
See the observation file in Appendix A and the GPS calendar from Appendix B.
GPS time is defined by the week number (GPS week) and seconds in GPS week (TOW; GPS week starts at Sunday 0
AM). Give the GPS time for the first observation.

2.
See the observation file in Appendix A.
For the second observation epoch: how many satellites are observed?

3.
For the same observation epoch of question 2, what is the C/A code pseudorange observation of satellite 23?

4.
See the navigation file in Appendix C (for a description see Appendix D)
The satellite clock correction can be calculated with:

δ t s = t s − t = a f 0 + a f 1 (t − t0 c ) + a f 2 (t − t0c )2

Find the clock correction parameters ( t0 c , a f 0 , a f 1 , a f 2 ) for satellite 18 in the navigation file, and calculate the
corresponding clock correction at the time t (TOW) from question 1.
t0c must be given in seconds in GPS week, hence you need to calculate this from the date and time in the navigation file.

5.
See the navigation file in Appendix C (for a description see Appendix D)
Give the square root of the semi-major axis of satellite 3.

6.
2π μ
The third law of Kepler gives n= = ,
T a3
with

n the mean angular velocity of the satellite

T the orbital period of the satellite
a the semi-major axis
μ= 398,600,500 x 106 m3/s2 the gravitational constant

Calculate T for satellite 3 (use the result from question 5).
