The GPS positioning involves not only 'natural' errors associated with the satellites position errors, refraction of EM wave in the ionosphere, etc., but also 'artificial' errors associated with the operation of S/A (Selective Availability). In this paper, we present the principles, accuracies and applicabilities of our personal DGPS method, which employs the position-correction method on the GPS positionings data collected at the reference and the remote sites. The essential requirement of our DGPS method is that two GPS receivers should utilize the identical Navstar satellites at the same time. The positioning error (1 drms) of the stand-alone GPS is of an order of a few tens meters, while that of horizontal position by our DGPS method is about 1m and that of vertical position is about 2m We applied out DGPS technique in positioning moving objects, and obtained satisfactory results in tracking the trajectories of a car on the road and the those of drifters in the sea.

The X-band frequencies for transmitting the data from earth observation satellites are limited, so a number of satellites share the frequency bands. In order for multiple satellites to utilize same or adjacent frequency bands, International Telecommunication Union - Radiocommunication (ITU-R) limits power flux density (PFD), which overcomes the interferences among multiple satellites. However, even under the regulation, the interference effect needs to be analyzed when multiple satellites are connected to communicate with multiple ground stations (GSs) located close to each other. In this paper, the interference effect is analyzed based on signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) when two low earth orbit (LEO) satellites operating in different orbits are connected to communicate with randomly located two GSs in Korean peninsula. From the analysis results, it is confirmed that there can be interferences during 365 days operation even if the satellites meet PFD requirement, but the periods under interference effects are short and the interference can be foreseen.
