A method includes receiving, by a computing device, from a plurality of radiofrequency receivers, a plurality of baseband signals, each of the plurality of baseband signals formed from a radiofrequency signal from a GNSS antenna and a pilot reference signal, wherein the pilot reference signal is the same for each of the baseband signals. One or more of a phase offset, a time offset, or a power offset are calculated for each of the baseband signals based on the pilot reference signal. Each of plurality of baseband signals are adjusted based on the calculated phase offset, time offset, or power offset for each of the baseband signals.

An error correcting location system includes a ground station with fixed reference coordinates. The ground station may receive satellite broadcast messages from a plurality of location system satellites. Further, the ground station may determine location coordinates based on the satellite broadcast messages, and compare the location coordinates to the fixed reference coordinates to determine a compensation value. In addition, the ground station may send the compensation value to location system devices. Upon receipt of the compensation value, the location system devices may utilize the compensation value to generate highly accurate location coordinates.
