Abstract

In this chapter, we will investigate solving for the User’s position on the earth’s surface. A brief derivation of a linear set of equations is presented. The solution will determine the user’s position in ECEF coordinates and the user’s clock bias. A flow chart is presented implementing the solution described. Then a conversion is done to arrive at user position in Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude.
