Development, testing, and implementation of an LC GNSS receiver
The article presents an extended analytical review of the current state, historical development, technical characteristics, experimental results, application areas, and prospects of low-cost GNSS receivers (LC GNSS). Single-frequency (SF-LC), dual-frequency (DF-LC), and multi-frequency (MF-LC) models are considered with an analysis of positioning accuracy, stability, multi-path effects, antenna, and software compatibility. The paper demonstrates advantages and limitations of LC GNSS receivers in geodesy, navigation, structural health monitoring, agriculture, and atmospheric studies.
