1. These two equations define gps positioning. Define the components of the equations and how they ultimately effect the different characteristic of carrier and code positioning. carrier= range + (ambig. x wavelength) + errors code = spd of light x (reception time-transmission time) =range + errors 2. What is multipath and how do you mitigate it?3. Ellipsoid and orthometric heights, and the geoid correction, define and compare. use a sketch.4. Why is there a difference between ground distances from a laser device versus GPS derived distances? What do you do about it? Explain with a diagram5. Define by equation, sketch or description these accuracy terms. (2 pts each)RMS2drmsCEPError ellipseSEP6. Define briefly these terms in relation to carrier differential GPS. Mention their relationship to accuracy also. Define these terms as they are used in the real GPS community.
