Abstract
Methods and apparatus to detect integrity failures in satellite position system (SPS) receivers are disclosed. An example method comprises estimating a position fix from a plurality of pseudoranges, computing a zero-mean error vector based upon the position fix; and determining if an integrity failure has occurred based on the zero-mean error vector.
