Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) has been recognized as a potential hazard to the use of GPS by deteriorating the performance of a GPS receiver. At the extreme it can cause a total loss of integrity and continuity. This project aims examine how RFI affects the ability of the GPS receiver to make an accurate position fix. For the experiment, I will attempt to see if spurious emissions from a television station antenna will be severe enough to cause a loss of continuity.
