Syntax

p = pseudoranges(recPos,satPos)
[p,pdot] = pseudoranges(___,recVel,satVel)
[p,pdot] = pseudoranges(___,Name,Value)

Description

p = pseudoranges(recPos,satPos) returns the pseudoranges between the receiver at position recPos and the satellites at positions satPos.

[p,pdot] = pseudoranges(___,recVel,satVel) returns the pseudorange rates pdot between the receiver and satellites. Use this syntax with the input arguments in the previous syntax.

example

[p,pdot] = pseudoranges(___,Name,Value) specifies the measurement noise for the ranges and range rates using name-value arguments. For example, [p,pdot] = pseudoranges(__,'RangeAccuracy',2) sets the measurement noise in pseudoranges, specified as a scalar standard deviation in meters.

Open Live Script

Use the pseudoranges function to get the pseudorange and pseudorange rate for given satellite and receiver positions and velocities. Get the satellite positions and velocities using the gnssconstellation function.

Specify a receiver position in geodetic coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) and receiver velocity in the local navigation frame.

recPos = [42 -71 50];
recVel = [1 2 3];

Get the satellite positions for the current time.

t = datetime('now');
[gpsSatPos,gpsSatVel] = gnssconstellation(t);

Get the pseudoranges and pseudorange rates between the receiver and satellites.

[p,pdot] = pseudoranges(recPos,gpsSatPos,recVel,gpsSatVel);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Receiver position in geodetic coordinates, specified as a three-element vector of the form [latitude longitude altitude].

Data Types: single | double

Satellite positions in the Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system in meters, specified as an N-by-3 matrix of scalars. N is the number of satellites in the constellation.

Data Types: single | double

Receiver velocity in the local navigation frame using north-east-down (NED) coordinates, specified as a three-element vector of the form [vx vy vz].

Data Types: single | double

Satellite velocities in the Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system in meters per second, specified as an N-by-3 matrix of scalars. N is the number of satellites in the constellation.

Data Types: single | double

Name-Value Arguments

collapse all

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: 'RangeAccuracy',0.5 sets the measurement noise of the pseudoranges to 0.5 meters.

Measurement noise in pseudoranges, specified as a scalar standard deviation in meters.

Data Types: single | double

Measurement noise in pseudorange rates, specified as a scalar standard deviation in meters per second.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Pseudoranges between the satellites and receiver, returned as an n-element vector in meters.

Data Types: single | double

Pseudorange rates between the satellites and receiver, returned as an n-element vector in meters per second. If you do not provide velocity inputs, this output is zero.
