Abstract

A differential global positioning system (DGPS) processor can include an almost fixed integer ambiguity (AFIA) module for generating in real-time a multiple dimensional state vector of integer ambiguities and multiple dimensional corrections. The AFIA module can use double difference (DD) measurements for pseudo-range (PR) and carrier phase (CP) pairs generated from at least three global positioning system (GPS) receivers. A DGPS processor can be included in a high data rate real time attitude determination (RTAD) system to achieve high heading accuracy with high integrity.
