In the relative positioning, even considering that part of the errors due to ionosphere iscanceled with the double-difference observations, strong ionospheric effects can occurin maximum solar activity period. However, in minimum solar activity period, theionospheric effects decrease significantly and therefore an improvement of the relativepositioning performance takes place. In this paper we aim at showing thatimprovement for the scientific and GPS community users. So, have been experimentsby using GPS data of two stations of the Brazilian Network for Continuous Monitoringof GPS, forming a baseline of 430 km. The processing were use accomplished withinterval of two hours, and only L1 carrier data have been used. The analysis of theobtained results has been carried out from the discrepancies between the “true”coordinates and corresponding ones obtained in the processing. In maximum solaractivity period the discrepancy value reached 25 m. On the other hand, in minimumsolar activity period, the discrepancy value reached 5,5 m. It is important to emphasizethat the majority of the discrepancy values didn’t exceed 0,50 m, and in some casesonly reached 0,10 m. This shows the increase of application possibilities of the relativepositioning using single-frequency GPS receivers in minimum solar activity period.
