This receiver can be compatible with the regional (BDS-2) and global (BDS-3) systems, which have three orbit types: medium Earth orbit (MEO), inclined geostationary orbit (IGSO), and GEO. The on-orbit BDS signal characteristics, including observations quantity, availability, position dilution of precision (PDOP), and carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0), are presented according to in-flight data. The observations and distribution of C/N0 with respect to nadir angles were analyzed. The average number of the BDS satellites tracked is 4.4, and the average PDOP is 12.0. PDOP improves when the BDS GEO and IGSO observations are involved. The maximum value of C/N0 of the BDS-3 MEO satellites is approximately 49 dB-Hz, which is roughly 2 dB higher than that of the BDS-2 MEO satellites. Most of the C/N0 of the BDS-3 MEO satellite at nadir angles beyond 26° is in the range of 27–34 dB-Hz. We reconstruct the transmit antenna gain for all observed BDS satellites using C/N0 measurements. Moreover, we investigate the main and side lobe characteristics of the BDS satellites in terms of different orbit types and satellite manufacturers. The side lobe signals of the BDS-3 MEO generally have 20–30 dB lower gain than the peak main lobe gain. The side lobe signal performance of the BDS-2 MEO is evidently better than that of the BDS-3 MEO. We give side lobe characteristics analysis of the BDS-3 MEO satellites from two different manufacturers based on the transmit antenna gain reconstructed.

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 23 n° 4 (October 2019) Titre : Performance of Galileo-only dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tomasz Hadas, Auteur ; Kamil Kazmierski, Auteur ; Krzysztof Sosnica, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] affaiblissement de la précision [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] constellation Galileo [Termes IGN] mesurage de phase [Termes IGN] mesurage de pseudo-distance [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement absolu [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] récepteur bifréquence [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (Auteur) The recent development of the Galileo space segment and the accompanying support of the International GNSS Service (IGS) allows for worldwide Galileo-only positioning. In this study, different techniques of dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation are evaluated for the first time and compared to the performance of GPS positioning. The daily static positioning based on the broadcast ephemeris using Galileo pseudoranges is significantly more accurate than the corresponding GPS solutions, obtaining the accuracy of a few decimeters. In the kinematic mode, the accuracy is better than 10 m and 20 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively, which is comparable to that of GPS. Precise absolute positioning using pseudorange and carrier phase Galileo observations combined with IGS Real-Time Service (RTS) or Multi-GNSS Experiment products is not yet as good as the corresponding GPS solutions. In the static mode, the root mean squared error (RMSE) between estimated and reference coordinates does not exceed 0.05 m and 0.06 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. In the kinematic mode, the respective accuracies are better than 0.17 m and 0.21 m. Moreover, we show that both GPS and Galileo pseudorange solutions benefit from the RTS when compared to the broadcast solutions with the improvement in the accuracy between 10 and 59%. Remarkable results are achieved for Galileo Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions based on the broadcast ephemeris. In the static mode, the RMSE is 0.07 and 0.10 m for the horizontal and vertical components which is three and two times better, respectively, then the corresponding solutions based on GPS.

The improvement in integer ambiguity resolution with INS aiding for kinematic precise point positioning / Xiaohong Zhang in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n°7 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n°7 (July 2019) . - pp 993 - 1010 Titre : The improvement in integer ambiguity resolution with INS aiding for kinematic precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaohong Zhang, Auteur ; Feng Zhu, Auteur ; Yuxi Zhang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 993 - 1010 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] affaiblissement de la précision [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] couplage GNSS-INS [Termes IGN] délai d'obtention de la première position [Termes IGN] milieu urbain [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Despite the benefits of integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) in precise point positioning (PPP), observation outages and harsh signal environments still impact float ambiguity estimation in kinematic surveying, consequently resulting in ambiguity-fixed failure. The inertial navigation system (INS) is an autonomous and spontaneous positioning one, which could provide continuous and superior positioning accuracy over short time. Thus, the INS attains more accurate position than code solution. Moreover, the tight integration of INS and PPP is capable of continuous operation where there are less than four satellites available. These advantages can improve float ambiguity estimation and assist in re-initializing the interrupted ambiguity and PPP solution. Based on the good quality of float ambiguity, the ambiguity dilution precision (ADOP) and the size of integer ambiguity search space are reduced, and then, the IAR-PPP is improved. In this work, the INS aiding effect on IAR-PPP was revealed by the sufficient theoretical analysis and performance assessment. A ring laser gyroscope-based navigation-grade IMU and a fiber optic gyroscope-based tactical-grade IMU were utilized to conduct experiments in an open-sky environment and urban area. The assessment adopted the following aspects of ADOP, bootstrapping success rate, time to fix and position errors. It is found that IAR-PPP with INS aiding achieves an enhanced performance during GPS outage when INS could deliver a superior accurate position. For the navigation- and tactical-grade IMU, the INS-aided ambiguity re-fixing performance can be classified as three levels: significant improvement for the outage duration less than 10 s, moderate improvement for the outage duration from 10 to 60 s and a little or zero improvement for the outage duration longer than 60 s. From the viewpoint of the INS-predicted position domain, an accuracy better than 0.1 m and 1.0 m is required for the significant and moderate improvement, while one can only achieve a little or zero improvement if the position error is larger than 1.0 m. Besides, we also performed the INS-aided IAR-PPP in real urban environment. For the urban environments, the span of clean data is often shorter than 30 min due to intermittent signal interruptions; thus, ambiguity re-fixing for PPP always fails. INS-aided information could bridge the data gaps and achieve fast ambiguity re-fixing. In summary, INS aiding information is capable of improving IAR-PPP performance significantly over a short GPS outage.

The affine constrained GNSS attitude model and its multivariate integer least-squares solution / Peter J.G. Teunissen in Journal of geodesy, vol 86 n° 7 (July 2012)

Teunissen, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 547 - 563 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] affaiblissement de la précision [Termes IGN] antenne GNSS [Termes IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (Auteur) 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 counterpart. The functional and stochastic model is formulated in multivariate form, for one-, two- and three-dimensional antenna arrays, tracking GNSS signals on an arbitrary number of frequencies with two or more antennas. The stochastic model includes the capability to capture variations in the antenna-quality within the array. The multivariate integer least-squares solution of the model parameters is given and the model’s ambiguity success-rate is analysed by means of the ambiguity dilution of precision (ADOP). A general closed-form expression for the affine-constrained ADOP is derived, thus providing an easy-to-use and insightful rule-of-thumb for the ambiguity resolution capabilities of the affine constrained GNSS attitude model.
