    3. Introduction The IGS have developed three precise GPS ephemerides: Ultra rapid Rapid Final These ephemerides are spaced at 15 minutes intervals but many GPS applications require precise ephemeris at higher rates, which is the reason for interpolation.

    4. Interpolation Errors Function Related Error: The amount of this error can be used as a measure of how well the interpolating method approaches the actual value of the time series. Computer Generated Error: This error is the result of computer limitations. It depends on the operating system, programming language and more or less on computer hardware.

    5. Interpolation Properties Taking too few points produces an unreliable interpolation output. Taking a plenty of points is ideally convenient. However, the computer capability is limited up to a specific number of points beyond which the computer behaves unpredictably. The accuracy degrades noticeably near the end points and tends to improve as the interpolator moves towards the center.

    28. Broadcast Ephemeris Method The direct interpolation of IGS precise ephemeris has one drawback. The very high positive and very low negative values (km) make it difficult to get an accuracy of millimeter level. As another alternative we interpolate the residuals of broadcast- precise ephemeris whose values are in meters and therefore it would be easier to get millimeter accuracy.

    30. Conclusion Lagrange and Newton Divided Difference demonstrate completely identical results in terms of interpolation error. Excluding the boundaries, the Trigonometric method yielded the best accuracy of all interpolation methods due to the periodic nature of the GPS orbit. This problem can be avoided by centering the day to be interpolated among sufficient data before and after the day. However, in real time applications no data can be added after the day. Lagrange has a better performance at the boundaries which makes it more convenient for real time applications. The interpolation via the broadcast ephemeris has produced the best results within the two-hour ephemeris period.
