Description
Summary:Geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) is an engineering expression that denotes how well the constellation of global positioning system (GPS) satellites is organised geometrically. In the analysis of received signals, it is often essential to invert and transform the data matrices. This requires tremendous computational burden on the navigator's processor. Since classification of GPS GDOP is a non-linear problem, neural networks (NNs) can be used as an acceptable solution. Since the back propagation (BP) does not have sufficient speed to train a feed-forward NN, in this paper several improved NN trainings, including Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), modified LM, and resilient BP (RBP), scaled conjugate gradient, one-step secant (OSS) and quasi-Newton methods are proposed to classify the GPS GDOP. In this study, in order to have uncorrelated and informative features of the GPS GDOP, principal component analysis (PCA) is used as a pre-processing step. The simulation results show that using the RBP and PCA leads to greater accuracy and lower calculation time comparing with other existing and proposed methods and it can improve the classification accuracy of GPS satellites to about 99.65%. Moreover, the modified LM is the fastest algorithm that requires only 10 iterations for training the NN and it can be used in online applications.
