Abstract:Two polynomial fitting methods:Chebyshev polynomial fitting and Lagrange polynomial fitting, for generating GPS satellite coordinates from precise ephemeris are introduced. The impacts of fitting time span and polynomial order with these two methods to fitting accuracy are discussed. Some useful conclusions are obtained from the tests.
