Abstract;It is possible to measure by KGPS to an accuracy of about 2cm. As there are many merits to measure by KGPS and its application is coming to be of wide range in use. One of the ways of using KGPS is to calculate the angle of inclination of moving subjects. If the angle of inclination of the hull can be easily measured by KGPS with a high accuracy, the application to the field of fisheries can be considered. For this application, it is necessary to evaluate and detail the measurement accuracy of the angle of inclination by KGPS. In this paper, we analyzed the measurement accuracy when the antenna inclines, since the antenna of KGPS also inclines when the moving subject inclines. Besides, we also analyzed the angle of inclination calculated by making the pitching and rolling antenna as the reference station. As a result, the measurement accuracy to the angle of inclination and the reduction of accuracy became clear, and the measurement for moving subjects was found to be efficient. (author abst.)
