Dilution of Precision (DOP)

 Satellite geometry can affect the quality of signals and accuracy of


receiver trilateration.
• A description of purely geometrical contribution to the uncertainty in
a position fix.
• It is an indicator as to the geometrical strength of the satellites
being tracked at the time of measurement
