Solution

To calculate the location of the GPS receiver based on the pseudo-ranges provided, an algorithm developed by [2] and interpreted by Dr. Egerstedt, Georgia Tech Faculty member, was used to iteratively generate the location. The algorithm works as follows:

1. Calculate the Cartesian location of the subpoints of each GPS Satellite in view.

2. Select an initial position estimate.

3. Use iterative equations to find position.

The equations and algorithm are detailed in a link on the links page.
