Investigations concerning the reliability and the external accuracy of GPS Real-Time Measurements

چکیده
In a local area network for engineering purposes the external accuracy of different RTKtechniques is analysed in detail. Three different solutions for the network are produced by varying the kind of the necessary reference station. First of all a local reference station resulting in very short baselines is used for the RTK-measurements. A second solution for the network is produced by using the nearest SAPOS reference station (SAPOS: Satellite Positioning Service of the German National Survey) resulting in an average baseline length of about 6.8km. At least so called virtual reference stations – derived from a network solution of the surrounding SAPOS-stations – are used for a third RTK-solution. For each solution every point of the network is occupied at least six times by using different ambiguity solutions, by varying the observation time after the successful initialisation from 10sec up to 60sec and by using a different satellite geometrie. The three network solutions are computed by using strong adjustment procedures as well for the horizontal positions as for the height component of the points of the network. Hereby the RTK positions and heights together with the corresponding variance-covariance matrices are introduced as pseudoobservations. Finally these adjustment results are analysed and compared to a more precise network solution resulting from terrestrial measurements of very high accuracy.

Improvement in Differential GPS Accuracy using Kalman Filter
Global Positioning System (GPS) is proven to be an accurate positioning sensor. However, there are several sources of errors such as ionosphere and troposphere effects, satellite time errors, errors of orbit data, receivers errors, and errors resulting from multi-path effect which reduce the accuracy of low-cost GPS receivers. These sources of errors also limit the use of single-frequency GPS r...

Accurate alignment and vertical channel instability play an important role in the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS), especially in the case that precise navigation has to be achieved over long periods of time. Due to poor initialization as well as the cumulative errors of low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), initial alignment is not sufficient to achieve required navigation ac...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Regularization Algorithm to Decorrelation of Covariance Matrix of Float Ambiguity in Fast Resolution of GPS Ambiguity Parameters
Precise positioning in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) applications depends on the accurate resolution of the phase ambiguities. In RTK positioning, ambiguity parameters are highly correlated, especially when the positioning rate is high. Consequently, application of de-correlation techniques for the accurate resolution of ambiguities is inevitable. Phase ambiguity as positioning observations by the ...
