Abstract: | Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin (ARL:UT) has established a cross platform open source software
project called the GPSTk or the GPS Toolkit. The GPSTk consists of a library and collection of applications that support GPS
research, analysis, and development. The code is released under the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License. The GPSTk supports
a broad range of functionality. This includes reading and writing observations in standard formats, such as RINEX, BINEX,
and SP3, ephemeris evaluation, position determination, receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM), atmospheric delay
modeling, cycle slip detection and correction, and P-code generation. The GPSTk provides the core set of functionality that
is used for GPS research and development at ARL:UT. ARL:UT has been involved with satellite navigation since Transit (the
precursor to GPS) in the 1960s and is currently conducting research in a wide variety of GPS-related fields, including precise
surveys, monitor station networks, and ionospheric studies. The GPSTk is a community-wide resource for all users of GPS and
GNSS technology. Participation is welcomed in all areas including: bug reports, new algorithms, suggestions for improvement,
and contributions of additional functionality or applications. ARL:UT continually improves the library, shepherds community
participation, and is committed to the project’s development and maintenance.
The GPS Toolbox is a column dedicated to highlighting algorithms and source code utilized by GPS Engineers and scientists.
