Abstract The demand for real-time high-precision positioning for global navigation satellite system applications is difficult to satisfy. In this regard, a single-frequency receiver is found to play an important role in overcoming this challenge, especially in developing countries where economic factors are a major restriction. Hence, the development of built-in models, such as the Klobuchar model, is an important objective for single-frequency users to mitigate the effect of ionospheric delay errors in real-time applications. Accordingly, this study aims to devise a new approach to enhance the behavior of the Klobuchar model and increase its efficiency in resolving the aforementioned problem. The new approach seeks to enhance the behavior of the Klobuchar model without refining or increasing its coefficients. To eliminate the ionospheric delay disturbance, the proposed methodology applies normalization and filtration processes to the raw ionospheric delay probability distribution estimated by the unified least squares technique. A final assessment of the new method for enhancing the Klobuchar behavior in predicting the precise position of a single-frequency static receiver under different weather conditions around the globe is presented in this paper.
