Abstract
The complexity of the design of a Global Positioning System (GPS) user segment, as well as the performance demanded of the components, depen ds on user requirements such as total navigation accuracy. Other facto rs, for instance the expected satellite/vehicle geometry or the accura cy of sn accompanying inertial navigation system, can also affect the user segment design. Models of GPS measurements are used to predict us er segment performance st various levels. Design curves are developed which illustrate the relationship between user requirements, the user segment design, and component performance.
