Multivariate GNSS Attitude Integrity: The Role of Affine Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we analyze the integrity properties of an affine-constrained estimator applied to arrays of GNSS antennas. GNSS pseudorange and carrier phase measurements from multiple antennas whose relative positions are known are cast in a linearly-constrained observation model. The linear constraints are inherent to an affine transformation that is applied to the baseline coordinates. The affine transformation yields enhanced redundancy, thus improving the model integrity properties with respect to the unconstrained model. The extent of the improvement is measured in terms of internal and external reliability.

The affine constrained GNSS attitude model and its multivariate integer least-squares solution
A new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) carrier-phase attitude model and its solution are introduced in this contribution. This affine-constrained GNSS attitude model has the advantage that it avoids the computational complexity of the orthonormality-constrained GNSS attitude model, while it still has a significantly improved ambiguity resolution performance over its unconstrained count...

GNSS Attitude Determination is a valuable technique for the estimation of platform orientation. To achieve high accuracies on the angular estimations, the GNSS carrier phase data has to be used. These data are known to be affected by integer ambiguities, which must be correctly resolved in order to exploit the higher precision of the phase observables with respect to the GNSS code data. For a s...
