Design and analysis of a differential GPS system

The position is available immediately. Contact: Staff of the department, room 0330.

Based on two GPS modules of our quadrocopter, we want to investigate how accurate positioning is possible using differential GPS. For this purpose, one of the sensors is to be calibrated stationary and serve as a reference point. The second sensor will be moved. The evaluation and combination of both series of measured values is to be used to improve the positioning accuracy of the moving sensor.

The aim of this work is to set up an executable system for parallel measurement and linking of the sensors and to investigate the achievable accuracy and safety.
