Understanding DOP: The Hidden Factor Affecting GNSS Accuracy

Understanding DOP: The Hidden Factor Affecting GNSS Accuracy

Why does GNSS accuracy sometimes become unstable — even when signal strength looks good? One important reason is DOP (Dilution of Precision). In GNSS positioning, accuracy is not determined only...

Multipath Effects Explained: Why GNSS Positioning Fluctuates in Urban Areas

Multipath Effects Explained: Why GNSS Positioning Fluctuates in Urban Areas

You may have noticed this before: your GNSS position works perfectly in open areas—but once you enter a city street, it starts to jump, drift, or fluctuate unexpectedly. Why does...

Why Does GNSS Position Drift When the Receiver Is Stationary?

Why Does GNSS Position Drift When the Receiver Is Stationary?

Have you ever noticed a phenomenon like this: a GNSS receiver is clearly standing still, but its position keeps changing over time? In essence, this is the combined effect of several systematic...
