Abstract
The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system designed especially for real-time threedimensional position and velocity determination. Real-time performance, however, is, except for navigation purposes, not necessarily required for the majority of the positioning tasks. Post-processing of the recorded raw GPS data is, therefore, the evaluation technique mainly applied, also by utilizing GPS in geodetic disciplines. Numerous investigations in static geodetic positioning (refs. 3, 14, 15) have meanwhile demonstrated a high accuracy potential of the GPS. Relative positioning accuracies in the order of centimetres are typical when using GPS carrier phase observations in the static mode.
