A differential carrier phase global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver with multiple antennas uses multiple GNSS carriers to determine position, which can improve the speed of integer searches, for example. In the system, an estimate of delays associated with the transmission paths between the antennas and receiver for at least one of the GNSS frequencies is stored. Typically, these are measures of the phase delay in the transmission paths for two or more of the GNSS frequencies such as in fractional cycles of the GNSS frequencies. Having this information solves problems associated with using multiple carrier frequencies. While cable delays typically have a fixed time delay, the signal paths for the different frequencies are not completely common--even if they were perfectly matched in time, the number of fractional cycles would still be different. Thus, the number of cycles a radio frequency (RF) signal is delayed is different for different frequencies.
