Distributed Open Source Software-Defined GPS

Abstract

This paper introduces a new platform for performing advanced GPS processing using software-defined radio (SDR) concepts. The presented design is a scalable and portable solution for achieving improved position results using very cheap consumer-grade hardware and open source software. Existing open source projects are combined with new software to define a complete end-to-end solution capable of combining the results of multiple hand-held receivers and producing a real-time kinematic driven result.
