Because satellite designers cannot precisely eliminate small variations in delays among the various signal paths within the spacecraft, GPS signals don''t emerge from the satellite antennas at exactly the same time or from the same location. If not accounted for, these delay offsets would produce navigation fix errors for GPS users. In this article, the authors derive and explain the modernized ionosphere dual- and single-frequency correction algorithms that will resolve these inter-signal variations. They also explain how to modernize any new algorithm, how a single ephemeris models the satellite location when each L-band signal may have separate departure points, and why that one ephemeris might point to a location behind the satellite.
