This FDsmooth™ frequency domain code multipath mitigation technique for real-time application. Firstly, a multipath spectral estimation technique is used to provide multipath frequency spectrum analysis, which was used to bound the frequency domain region for mitigation; either a multipath model or spectral estimation on the GNSS observable data can be accomplished Secondly, a code-minus-carrier (CmC) analysis exposes the major code multipath error and its frequency spectrum, which was the basis for operation; Thirdly, a code multipath correction was formed and applied to mitigate the multipath error in the GNSS code measurement. Both the multipath mitigated code measurement and the carrier phase measurement can be utilized for the user solution, which improves performance. The technique is well suited for ground-based applications where the multipath fading frequency can be well predicted, as well as, for mobile user applications where this multipath frequency can be estimated using a spectral estimation technique.
