Abstract
The vector coordinates of each acquired satellite are calculated, the vector coordinates being given by the coordinates of an end point of a vector of which the direction coincides with the direction (azimuth) of the corresponding acquired satellite based on the present position and the magnitude corresponds to a signal strength. An overall BOP that indicates the deflection of the acquired satellite signals is calculated by adding up the vector coordinates of each acquired satellite signal. The position of the overall BOP indicates the direction of deflection (deflection azimuth) of the acquired satellite signals, and the distance from an origin O indicates the degree of deflection (deflection strength) of the acquired satellite signals.
