The detail algorithm of the parity space method of RAIM technique is presented. Using FDI and FDE methods, the simulations of RAIM performance have been done in three different phases independently with respect to the bias of the fault satellite. Case study of simulation results is discussed and each performance of RAIM is analyzed. According to the analysis of simulation results, the parity space method of RAIM can meet the integrity requirements for nonprecision, terminal and enroute flight phase. It also indicates that the results of performance of FDE are better than that of FDI.展开更多
