GPS double difference statistics: with and without using satellite geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
In this contribution GPS statistics are presented for the case that the relative receiver-satellite geometry is included in the single baseline model and for the case that the relative receiver-satellite geometry is excluded. It is shown that the statistics are linked through a particular form of a phased adjustment. Based on the stepwise approach of a phased adjustment, the impact of using satellite geometry or dispensing with it, on the least-squares estimators, on the teststatistics and their associated reliability, and on the integer ambiguity estimation, is presented and analyzed.

Iranian Permanent GPS Network Receivers Differential Code Biases Estimation Using Global Ionospheric Maps
Measurements of the dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used to calculate the electron density and the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere layer of the Earth atmosphere. TEC is a key parameter for investigating the ongoing spatial and temporal physical process of the ionosphere. For accurate estimation of TEC from GPS measurements, GPS satellites and GPS r...
متن کاملKinematic and reduced-dynamic precise orbit determination of low earth orbiters
Various methods for kinematic and reduced-dynamic precise orbit determination (POD) of Low Earth Orbiters (LEO) were developed based on zeroand double-differencing of GPS carrier-phase measurements with and without ambiguity resolution. In this paper we present the following approaches in LEO precise orbit determination: – zero-difference kinematic POD, – zero-difference dynamic POD, – double-d...

Multipath error is considered one of the major errors affecting GPS observations. One can benefit from the repetition of satellite geometry approximately every sidereal day, and apply filtering to help minimize this error. For GPS data at 1 second interval processed using a double-difference strategy, using the day-to-day coordinate or phase residual autocorrelation determined with a 10 hour wi...
متن کاملGPS Cycle Slip Detection Considering Satellite Geometry Based on TDCP/INS Integrated Navigation
This paper presents a means of carrier phase cycle slip detection for an inertial-aided global positioning system (GPS), which is based on consideration of the satellite geometry. An integrated navigation solution incorporating a tightly coupled time differenced carrier phase (TDCP) and inertial navigation system (INS) is used to detect cycle slips. Cycle-slips are detected by comparing the sat...
متن کاملAn Improved Satellite Selection Method in Attitude Determination Using Global Positioning System (GPS)
In attitude determination using GPS, the accuracy of results is influenced directly by the satellite selection of the differenced observations. Based on the information of satellites, such as elevation, azimuth and signal to noise ratio, we apply a weighted selection method to obtain the satellite combination used in attitude determination. This method also considered the quality of satellite s...
