From March to August 1990, the signals transmitted by the Block II satellites of the GPS were dithered under a policy of 'Selective Availability' (SA). The dithering appears as an about 10 to the -10th deviation of the satellite oscillator frequency, which, when accumulated over several minutes, can produce an error of about 100 cycles in the model for carrier beat phase. Differencing between simultaneously sampling receivers minimizes the error. If, however, the receivers do not sample simultaneously, it is necessary to model the frequency deviation. Such a model is here applied to data collected in March 1990 by TI4100 and Minimac receivers sampling at times separated by 0.92 s. Applying the algorithm significantly improves the rms scatter of the estimated relative position vectors. The rms scatter from a data set including dithered satellites is similar for both simultaneously and nonsimultaneously sampling receivers, a result which indicates that SA can be adequately modeled.
