The accuracy that can be achieved by a single GPS receiver in stand-alone mode is around 10 metres with SA switched off; this is not adequate for most hydrographic studies. This study aims to improve this level of accuracy using a single geodetic receiver in stand-alone mode by applying a phase smoothing algorithm. The algorithm described in this study requires that the measurements be started from a known point for initialisation. The test site selected for the study is Halic bay, Istanbul. After GPS data were collected on a geodetic point for initialisation, the receiver was moved to a hydrographic vessel and trial measurements were performed along several survey profiles. The position of the vessel was calculated at every epoch using the carrier phase smoothing algorithm. In order to analyse the accuracy of the results, a second receiver collected data on another known point on the seashore during the whole session. The position of the vessel was accurately determined using a kinematic positioning method considering the data collected by both receivers. The results produced show that an accuracy of less than a metre can be achieved using the approach considered in this study.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging radios, an emerging technology that offers precise, short distance range measurements are investigated as a method to augment carrier-phase GPS positioning. A commercially available UWB ranging system is used in a tightly-coupled GPS and UWB real-time kinematic (RTK) system. The performance of the tightly-coupled system is evaluated in static and kinematic testing. This work demonstrates that UWB errors can be successfully estimated in a real-time filter. The results of static testing show that the integrated solution provides better accuracy, better ability to resolve integer ambiguities and enhanced fixed ambiguity solution availability compared with GPS alone. In kinematic testing in a degraded GPS environment, sub-decimetre accuracy was maintained.
