    Galaxy G6 Appendix C Technical Terms Ambiguity: unknown quantity is the integer number of cycles of the carrier phase measured from the satellite to the receiver. Baseline: The connection line of the two measurement points, on which to receive GPS signals and collect observation data simultaneously.
  • Page 114 Galaxy G6 Multipath error: the positioning error caused by the interference between two or more radio signal propagation path. Observing session: the use of two or more receivers at the same time to collect GPS data period. Pseudo Range: GPS receiver in the time required to copy the code aligned with the received GPS code offset and multiplied by the speed of light to calculate the distance.
