Abstract

As a result of the tremendous development in the field of computer technologies, communications and information revolution, new ap-
plications which has seen a tremendous development in terms of devices and technologies used in various applications such as a device
Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM), Total Station, GPS (Surveyor and Navigational)… etc. In this study, five-ground control
points (BM) were made to provide traverse, and these points observed by using three different navigation GPS devices, and observed by
using TOTALSTATION device, and using spatial and statistical analysis functions in GIS. The study showed that the error in these de-
vices is a random error varies from one device to another. In addition, it showed that the error varies from time to time. Cannot be deter-
mined the spread of readings to the observed point (by navigation GPS) in a particular direction or specific frame, as well as the central
distance of the readings are changing from one device to another and from point to point.
The study recommends that should not be used navigation GPS devices in the survey work. In addition, re-survey all areas are observed
or defined its borders by using this device (navigation GPS) by serving GPS devices with the required accuracy.

3. GPS radio waves and signals:
Noise errors and up to a meter limit.
Radio waves transmitted from the GPS are two types of carrier
waves, L1 wave (center frequency: 1575.42 MHz) and L2 wave
(center frequency: 1227.6 MHz). Two types of digital signals are 6. Area of study:

message) is superimpose on the C / A code and transmitted to the
L1 wave and the L2 wave. The contents are data such as satellite
orbit information and satellite clock correction information.
[12],[13].

4. Types of GPS positioning methods:


For GPS positioning, there is a single positioning using a single
GPS receiver and relative positioning that uses two or more GPS
receivers to eliminate errors. Singly positioning should receive the
radio waves from four GPS satellites at the point where you are
going to locate, and measure the distance to each satellite. The
distance between the satellite and the GPS receiver is obtained by
observing the propagation time from the satellite to the receiver
and by multiplying the speed of light. In general, only the C / A
code of the L1 wave can be use, so the accuracy obtained is as low (a)
as 2 to 50 m. On the other hand, in relative positioning, one re-
ceiver is installing at a known point and the other receiver is in-
stalling at a measurement point, thereby obtaining a baseline vec-
tor with high accuracy. Various positioning methods are use like
differential GPS (DGPS), the RTK-GPS positioning, and the vir-
tual reference point method…etc.[14],[15].

5. Error in GPS system:


Errors in the system can be divided into three categories.

same point as shown in Figures (10 and 9). When using the GIS
program, the distribution of the random values observed for the
same point varies from one device to another. After extracting the
best value of the points allocated for each GPS receiver separately
and input them as initial values in the TOTALSTATION device,
and observed the remaining points relative to these values, there is
no corresponding between the values extracted from the relative
monitoring using TOTALSTATION device and the most probable
values extracted from all GPS devices. Finally, we can get the
following:
1- The study showed that, the error in the navigation GPS
devices is a random error varies from one device to an-
other.
2- The study showed that, cannot be specified the error in
BM as a reference and observed another point on it.
3- The study showed that, cannot be determined the direc-
tion of scatter readings to the observed point (by naviga-
tion GPS) or specific frame, as well as the central dis-
tance of the readings are changing from one device to
another and from point to point.
4- The study recommends that should not be used naviga-
tion GPS devices in the survey work. In addition, re-
survey all areas are observed or defined its borders by
using this device (navigation GPS) by serving GPS de-
vices with required accuracy.
