Tom,

Let's do a separate thread on that one.

Cheers,
Magnus

I hope I am not steering the thread to much, I have an Allen Osborne TurboRogue 
SMR12 RM L1 L2 GPS rec that came from JPL that appears specifically designed 
for Common View use. Does anyone know the history of these ,I can find almost 
nothing.
Email me directly if you have info, or I can start a new thread.

If I read the paper correctly you can skip the choke ring if you mount

lengths. The choke ring is for portable survey antenna that can't be
placed on tall rooftop masts. I think a 2 meter pole on a roof pretty
much meets their criteria of multi path difference being over 10 meters.



yes.. multipath that is more than a chip away is generally filtered out
by the PN tracking loop, so all you really worry about is multipath
signals within a chip. For C/A code at 1 Mchip/sec, the chips are 300
meters long. If you're doing P/Y code, it's a tenth of that.

In reality, if the multipath signal is lower, and it's "far" away (a
good fraction of a chip) it doesn't contribute much to the output of the
correlator. So their 10 meter thing is probably a good number for a
"typical" receiver they make.

It's an interesting mix of sample-rate/bandwidth, code you track and
distance between early-late detectors (normal distance is one chip)
comes in when analyzing and combat the multi-path. I recall there is
some subtle points with some of the C/A codes.

Cheers,
Magnus
