In recent years BD (BeiDou positioning system), an active satellite navigation system, has been widely applied in
geodetic survey, precise engineering survey and GNC (guide, navigation and control system) of weapons because of its
reliability and availability. However, it has several problems on the accuracy, anti-interference and active-positioning. A
passive BD aided pseudolites positioning system is introduced in details in this paper. The configuration and the
operating principle of system are presented. In analyzing the precision of location, one of the crucial aspects to be
studied is how to determine the arrangement of the pseudolites to get the good GDOP, which is discussed in the different
arrangements of the pseudolites in this paper. The simulation results show that the VDOP (vertical dilution of precision)
of BD is improved due to introducing the pseudolites. The experiments indicate the validity of the methods and the
improvement of the positioning precision in the BD aided pseudolite system.
