A method for estimating a multipath error of a pseudo-range measurement value, comprising obtaining satellite navigation system information including a pseudo-range measurement value and a carrier phase measurement value; obtaining a time-differenced carrier phase (TDCP) measurement value by differentiating the carrier phase measurement value with respect to time; setting a monitoring variable for multipath error estimation by using the TDCP measurement value; detecting a change in multipath error using the monitoring variable, and determining a time period usable to estimate the multipath error; and estimating the multipath error at a specific time point using the change relative to a reference time. Accordingly, the location of a target can be precisely determined even in a downtown environment with severe signal distortion, by estimating the multipath error included in the pseudo-range measurement value, and compensating for or excluding the multipath error.

Method for estimating multipath error of pseudo-range measurement value, and positioning method using same

A time-differenced carrier phase (TDCP) measurement value-based navigation system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a satellite navigation system information reception unit for acquiring satellite navigation system information including a carrier phase measurement value; an initial position determination unit for determining an initial position of a target on the basis of the satellite navigation system information; a TDCP acquisition unit for acquiring a TDCP measurement value; a relative position determination unit for determining a relative position of the target on the basis of the TDCP measurement value; and an absolute position determination unit for determining an absolute position of the target by accumulating relative positions according to time of the initial position of the target. Therefore, time and expenses required for determining integer ambiguity can be reduced, and precise position of a cm-level error can be measured by using a low-cost satellite navigation system information receiver.
