METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING MULTIPATH EFFECTS AT A SATELLITE SIGNAL RECEIVER USING A SEQUENTIAL ESTIMATION FILTER

A method and apparatus for mitigating multipath effects in a satellite signal receiver is described. In one example, measured pseudoranges are obtained from the satellite signal receiver to a plurality of satellites. For each measured pseudorange: an expected pseudorange is derived from a sequential estimation filter in the satellite signal receiver. The measured pseudorange and the expected pseudorange are differenced to compute a pseudorange residual. The measured pseudorange is applied to the sequential estimation filter only if the pseudorange residual is within a window.
