Abstract

A determinated position with GPS (Global Positioning System) data processing is the position of the phase center of a GPS antenna. The phase center of a GPS antenna is. not a stable point and depends on the azimuth and elevation angles of GPS satellites. It is known that the phase center variations (PCV) of a GPS antenna are greater in the vertical than the horizontal directions. The PCV calibration models for a GPS. antenna has two approaches: relative and absolute. In this study. we compared the two calibration models using the six operational permanent GPS stations in South Korea and analysed the PCV of each station. In addition, we. tested two different kinds of GPS antennas and compared the results. The accuracy and precision of the relative calibration was worse than the absolute calibration.
