GNSS Positioning
Compute positions from GNSS data by using the gnssconstellation and receiverposition functions.
Use the GNSS file reader functions, such as rinexread and semread
to read satellite navigation and observation data from RINEX, SEM, YUMA, and Galileo
almanac files.

Detect Multipath GPS Reading Errors Using Residual Filtering in Inertial Sensor Fusion
Use the residualgps object function and residual filtering to detect when new sensor measurements may not be consistent with the current filter state.
Simulate GNSS Multipath Effects in Urban Canyon Environment
Simulate GNSS multipath for a car with a GPS receiver driving in an urban canyon-like environment and visualize satellite visibility.
Simulate GNSS Multipath Effects on UAV Flying in Urban Environment
Simulate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver noises due to obstructions in a UAV Scenario.
Ground Vehicle Pose Estimation for Tightly Coupled IMU and GNSS
Estimate the position and orientation of a ground vehicle by building a tightly coupled extended Kalman filter and using it to fuse sensor measurements. A tightly coupled filter fuses inertial measurement unit (IMU) readings with raw global navigation satellite system (GNSS) readings. In contrast, a loosely coupled filter fuses IMU readings with filtered GNSS receiver readings.
GPS Legacy Navigation Receiver Positioning Using C/A-Code
Estimate the global positioning system (GPS) receiver position using a multi-satellite GPS baseband waveform. You use the receiver independent exchange format (RINEX) and an almanac file to model the GPS constellation and generate a multi-satellite baseband waveform. Simulate the satellite scenario to get relative positions of satellites with respect to the modeled receiver. For this satellite scenario, model the Doppler shift, delay, and received signal power. Based on these calculations, impair the generated baseband signal with Doppler shift, delay, and noise. This example shows how to estimate the simulated receiver position from this impaired GPS baseband signal.
