Abstract

Galileo is a global civil navigation satellite system developed in Europe as an alternative to the GPS controlled by the US Department of Defense and GLONASS controlled by Russian Space Forces. It is scheduled to be operative in 2013 and it will have 30 satellites orbiting on three inclined planes with respect to the equatorial plane at an altitude of about 24 000 km. The aim of this work is the study of the pseudorange error of the GIOVE satellites. To achieve this goal, the specifications defined in Giove A-B Navigation Signal in Space Interface Control Document (ICD) are used to develop a suitable software tool in MATLAB® environment. The tool is able to compute GIOVE A and GIOVE B position from the broadcast ephemerides, to calculate the pseudorange error and to process it. From the known receiver position and the computed satellite coordinates, the geometric range is obtained and compared with the pseudorange measurement, in order to obtain the pseudorange error.
