Abstract
In this paper, the Doppler shift due to satellite vehicle motion in Global Positioning System (GPS) is investigated via a computational geometric analysis for a stationary GPS receiver, which resides on the surface of the earth. For an in-plane stationary receiver, the Doppler shift is derived as a function of the satellite vehicle’s central angle. For an off-plane stationary receiver, the visible region is calculated as a function of the elevation angle and the Doppler shift is derived as a function of the central angle and of the elevation angle. Also, the difference between the Doppler shift corresponding to an off-plane stationary receiver and the Doppler shift corresponding to an in-plane stationary receiver is calculated.
