Testing of GNSS multipath in different observational conditions at one stationary station

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the analysis of temporal changes in multipath propagation errors on the pseudorange GNSS signal used for positioning, and its behavior during the calendar year (the quality of signal depends on e.g. foliage of trees, changes reflectivity surfaces due to rain or snow, etc.). The analysis was performed on data measured on a stationary point at Geodetic Observatory Pecny at Ondrejov, where one day was chosen as a constant time unit. Given the relatively highly unfavorable configuration of the experiment, RMS value of multipath is up to 60 cm on C1 and 40 cm on C2. These values vary with different weather conditions between 10 and 20 cm.
