uercor.m

Matlab GPS Toolbox

%                              uercor.m
%  Scope:   This MATLAB macro computes user earth rotation correction vector as per
%           ICD-GPS-200C [1]. WGS-84 constants are used.
%  Usage:   xercor = uercor(upos,dt)
%  Description of parameters:
%           upos   - input, user ECEF position, the components are in meters
%           dt     - input, time delay of signal propagation from satellite to user,
%                    in seconds
%           xercor - output, user earth rotation correction vector, ECEF components are 
%                    in meters
