The Reliability of GPS Ambiguity Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
GPS ambiguity resolution is the process of resolving the unknown cycle ambiguities of double difference (DD) carrier phase data as integers. It is the key to fast and high-precision relative GPS positioning. Critical in the application of ambiguity resolution is its reliability. Unsuccessful ambiguity resolution, when passed unnoticed, will too often lead to unacceptable errors in the positioning results. High success rates are required, for ambiguity resolution to be reliable. In this contribution we will introduce and evaluate such diagnostic measures. They complement existing methods of ambiguity resolution and allow the user and/or analyst to infer their reliability.

Evaluation 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 ...
متن کاملAn Integer Ambiguity Resolution Procedure for GPS/Pseudolite/INS Integration
In order to achieve a precise positioning solution from GPS, the carrier phase measurements with correctly resolved integer ambiguities must be used. Based on the integration of GPS with pseudolites and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), this paper proposes an effective procedure for single-frequency carrier phase integer ambiguity resolution. With the inclusion of pseudolites and INS measureme...

Precise point positioning (PPP) technology is mostly implemented with an ambiguity-float solution. Its performance may be further improved by performing ambiguity-fixed resolution. Currently, the PPP integer ambiguity resolutions (IARs) are mainly based on GPS-only measurements. The integration of GPS and GLONASS can speed up the convergence and increase the accuracy of float ambiguity estimate...

The integration of GPS with GLONASS may be considered a major milestone in satellitebased positioning, because it can dramatically improve the reliability and productivity of said positioning. However, unlike GPS, GLONASS satellites transmit signals at different frequencies, which results in significant complexity in terms of modelling and ambiguity resolution for integrated GPS and GLONASS pos...
متن کاملThe Key to GNSS Ambiguity Resolution
One of the major obstacles in resolving ambiguities for longer baselines is the presence of unmodeled ionospheric delays. One technique to deal with this problem is to include ionospheric delay parameters in the observation equations, and estimate them as unknown states. The purpose of this article is to analyze this technique in light of the future signals that will be available through GPS mo...
