Plotting a circle from latitude and longitude as centre and distance from reference station as radius.

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello, everyone!
I have been trying to work on a project that shows the functioning of a Differential GPS. The code is given below.
I have 2 queries which are as follows:
a.) How do I overlap the positions of satellites (1,2,3 and 4) on the world map using matlab's mapping toolbox?
Note: the points obtained in the program (Xsat1, Ysat1, Xsat2.....so on) get displayed on a graph even though I have used the geoshow function.
B.) How do I create circles using these locations (latitudes and longitudes) as the centres and distances of the satellites as radii?
%orbiting radii of satellites 1,2,3 and 4 in meters%
R1 = 2.556E+07;
R2 = 2.488E+7;
R3 = 2.432E+7;
R4 = 2.398E+7;

%angles the satellites make with the reference station.%
A1 = 122;

A4 = 20;
%actual heights of the satellites perpendicularly above the ground.%
H1 = R1 - Re;
H2 = R2 - Re;
H3 = R3 - Re;
H4 = R4 - Re;
% "PSEUDORANGES" %
Dps1 = H1*cscd(A1);
Dps2 = H2*cscd(A2);
Dps3 = H3*cscd(A3);
Dps4 = H4*cscd(A4);
%Velocity of EM waves (in meters per sec)%

%Actual distance fo the staellites from the receiver%
