Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system consisting of 24 satellites operated by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide location and time information to users worldwide. Differential GPS (DGPS) increases the accuracy of GPS by using a fixed reference station to correct for atmospheric errors, allowing a second nearby receiver to determine its position more precisely. DGPS works by comparing the GPS data recorded by a stationary receiver at a known location to that of a mobile receiver.

Global Positioning System (GPS) &

Differential Global Positioning


System(DGPS)
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) is a satellite-based
navigation system made up of a
network of 24 satellites placed into
orbit by the U.S. department of
Defense.
 GPS was originally intended for
military applications, but in the 1980s,
the government made the system
available for civilian use.
 GPS works in any weather
conditions, anywhere in the world, 24
hours a day.
There are no subscription fees or
setup charges to use GPS.
Three Segments:
2. Space Segment
3. Control segment
4. User segment
DGPS: Differential GPS is a method of increasing
the accuracy of positions derived from GPS
receivers.

Working of DGPS: It is assumed that any two


receivers that are relatively close together will
experience similar atmosphere errors. DGPS
receiver be set up on a precisely known
location.The difference is applied to the GPS data
recorded by second GPS receiver, which is known
as the roving receiver
