Table 5-1. Representative GPS Error-Measurement Statistics for Absolute Point Positioning(continued)PART C - DIFFERENTIAL PRECISE POSITIONING5-19. Reducing Errors. Absolute positioning, as discussed earlier, will not provide the accuraciesneeded for most survey control projects due to existing <strong>and</strong> induced errors. To eliminate errors <strong>and</strong>obtain higher accuracies, use GPS in a differential-positioning mode. The terms relative <strong>and</strong> differentialhave similar meanings. Relative is used when discussing one thing in relation to another. Differential isused when discussing the technique of positioning one thing in relation to another. Differentialpositioning requires that at least two receivers be set up at two stations (usually one is known) to collectsatellite data simultaneously to determine coordinate differences. This method positions the two stationsrelative to each other (hence the term relative positioning) <strong>and</strong> can provide the accuracy required forbasic l<strong>and</strong> <strong>surveying</strong>.5-20. Code Pseudorange Tracking. Differential positioning (using code pseudorange) is performedsimilarly to code-pseudorange tracking for absolute positioning. Some of the major uncertainties areeffectively eliminated or minimized. This process results in absolute coordinates of the user on theearth's surface. ErrorsEN0593 5-10
