Sbas Ionospheric Performance Evaluation Tests
نویسنده
چکیده
Satellite Based Augmentation systems (SBAS) provide to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) users with an extra set of information, in order to enhance accuracy and integrity levels of GNSS stand alone positioning. In this context, different test methods to analyze the ionospheric corrections performance are presented. The first set of tests involves two of the ionospheric calculations that are applied daily to the Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM), computed by the IGS Associate Analysis Centers: a TEC TOPEX comparison test and the STEC variations test. The second family of tests provides two very accurate analyses based on large-baselines ambiguity resolution techniques giving comparisons for absolute STEC and double differenced STEC determinations. Those four analyses have been applied using EGNOS System Test Bed (ESTB) data showing some satellite dependent biases.

The ionosphere contributes the largest and most unpredictable error to single frequency GPS users’ range measurements. The goal of a Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) in mitigating these ionospheric errors is two-fold. First, the SBAS broadcasts error corrections to its users for improved positioning accuracy. Moreover, the SBAS provides a service that GPS alone cannot: ensuring position e...

The largest source of error uncertainty in current Space-based Augmentation Systems, which are single frequency (L1), is the ionospheric delay. In the coming years, the deployment of new signals in L5 will allow civil users to estimate and remove the ionospheric delay in the pseudoranges. This will have a large impact on the planned dual frequency Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). On...

The ionosphere causes the most difficult error to mitigate in Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). The problem has been solved for the mid latitude regions using the thin shell approximation. There, it is very accurate on quiet days and allows the augmentation system so send the information in a two dimensional grid with a five by five degree resolution. However, even during quiet days,...
