The third-generation BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) can transmit B1I (1561.098 MHz), B3I (1268.52 MHz), B1C (1575.42 MHz), B2a (1176.45 MHz), B2b (1207.14 MHz) and B2ab (1191.795 MHz) signals. To make full use of the advantage of BDS-3 multi-frequency signals and improve BDS-3 service performance, we present some new quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques using B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a signals, which are QFIF0 model combining B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a IF observables, QFIF1 model combining the B1I/B3I, B3I/B1C and B1I/B2a IF observables, QFIF2 model combining B1I/B3I and B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a IF observables, and quad-frequency uncombined QFUC model, respectively. These new techniques only improve the performance of satellite clock estimation by fully utilizing the BDS-3 multi-frequency observations on the premise of ensuring the dual-frequency IF datum but also obtain the corresponding inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) simultaneously. The quad-frequency satellite clock offsets are evaluated in terms of the clock offset precision, the modified Allan deviation (MDEV) and precise point positioning (PPP) performances. The new methods can improve the performances of the estimated clock offsets compared with the traditional dual-frequency IF model. The precision for the estimated clock offsets using quad-frequency satellite clock estimation models can be improved by 13–26% in terms of standard deviation (STD). The improvement of frequency stability ranges from 0 to 24%, especially for the short-term stability, which can reach 12% and 24% for B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a clock offsets, respectively. Similarly, the corresponding PPP performance has also been better improved with respect to those of using traditional dual-frequency IF clock offsets. Thus, the proposed quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques can be well applied into precise satellite clock estimation.

Yasyukevich, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 76 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Typically, navigation software processes global navigation satellite system (GNSS) phase observables along with the code observables to achieve high-precision positioning. However, the unmodeled code-related errors, typically multipath effects, may deteriorate the positioning performance. Such effects are well known for the second generation BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS-2). To prevent this adverse effect on the state-of-the-art positioning technique, namely integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP-RTK), we propose a multi-frequency phase-only PPP-RTK model. This model excludes the code observables and addresses the rank deficiency problem underlying the phase observation equations at the undifferenced and uncombined level. To verify the model, we collect five-day triple-frequency BDS 30-s data from a network of seven reference stations (about 112 km apart) to estimate the products on the network side. Based on these products, we conduct simulated dynamic positioning at a user station to test the phase-only PPP-RTK model and compare it with the customary code-plus-phase (CPP) model. The results show that the satellite phase biases, existing only at the third frequency, have a precision of better than two centimeters, while the precision of the satellite clock and ionospheric delay is better than eight centimeters. Due to the strong correlation between individual corrections, it is necessary to assess the quality of combined products, including the satellite clock, satellite phase bias and ionospheric delay, the precision of which is several millimeters to two centimeters, which is sufficiently precise for user positioning. Regarding BDS-2 positioning, the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of the CPP PPP-RTK is 12 epochs, while it is only three epochs for the phase-only PPP-RTK. The reason why the CPP model underperforms the phase-only model is that the BDS-2 data collected are subject to notable code multipath. We show that the code multipath in the third-generation BDS (BDS-3) data is mild, so the CPP PPP-RTK achieves instantaneous centimeter-level positioning with a TTFF of one epoch. The BDS-3 phase-only PPP-RTK obtains virtually the same positioning results, but the TTFF is two epochs. When combining BDS-2 with BDS-3, the TTFF of both models remains unchanged compared to that of the BDS-3 solutions, implying that ambiguity resolution based on the stronger dual-system CPP model is robust to the BDS-2 code multipath. However, the ambiguity-float solution of the CPP PPP-RTK is adversely affected by the code multipath and requires 43 epochs to convergence, while its phase-only counterpart needs 36 epochs.

Considering the signal difference of different systems, GPS + Galileo + QZSS + BDS tightly combined double-difference model (TCDDM), including function and stochastic model, is proposed. The proposed model fully utilizes the overlapping frequency signals of various systems, and thus to enhance positioning model when DISBs are known beforehand. The observations of 3 ultra-short (1~10 m) and 3 short (4~10 km) baselines were processed by self-programming software, and the single-epoch single-frequency RTK performance using different system-combined models was evaluated by ambiguity-fixed correctness rate (ACR) and positioning accuracy. It demonstrated that three- and four-system TCDDM were superior to their corresponding loosely combined double-difference model (LCDDM) for ACR and positioning accuracy especially at high cut-off elevation. Moreover, four-system TCDDM had the best RTK performance obtaining average ACRs of 100% and 97.6% even at 25° cut-off elevation for ultra-short and short baseline, respectively.

The impact of second-order ionospheric delays on the ZWD estimation with GPS and BDS measurements / Shaocheng Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 2 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 24 n° 2 (April 2020) Titre : The impact of second-order ionospheric delays on the ZWD estimation with GPS and BDS measurements Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shaocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Lei Fang, Auteur ; Guangxing Wang, Auteur ; Wei Li, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] champ géomagnétique [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] gradient ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons Résumé : (auteur) Since millimeter accuracy is required in many GNSS applications such as real-time zenith wet delay (ZWD) estimation, the higher-order ionospheric delays on GNSS signals are no longer negligible. We calculated the second-order ionospheric delays (I2) and analyzed the impact on the ZWD estimation with GPS-only and combined GPS/BDS observations. The undifferenced PPP model with fixed coordinates was used to estimate the ZWD and horizontal gradients. The method of blockwise sequential least squares was utilized to eliminate the receiver clock biases and compute the I2 impact on the ZWDs. The I2 delays on each GNSS satellite observations were calculated with the CODE final TEC map and the 12th generation of the international geomagnetic reference field (IGRF-12) model. The statistical results with the actual observation geometry show that the I2 delays can reach over 10 mm during the daytime, and the corresponding impact on the estimated ZWD can reach up to several millimeters. At station HKWS, the maximum I2 impact with GPS only reaches up to 3.1 mm and is still 2.4 mm when both GPS and BDS observations are used. The simulated I2 impact on the ZWD could reach several millimeters, even though the TEC and geomagnetic values were calculated from relatively moderate background models. Compared with the 5–10 mm precision of real-time ZWD estimation, the I2 delays must not be ignored, especially during high VTEC periods.

Research on empirical correction models of GPS Block IIF and BDS satellite inter-frequency clock bias / Xiaopeng Gong in Journal of geodesy, Vol 94 n°3 (March 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > Vol 94 n°3 (March 2020) Titre : Research on empirical correction models of GPS Block IIF and BDS satellite inter-frequency clock bias Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaopeng Gong, Auteur ; Shengfeng Gu, Auteur ; Yidong Lou, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] analyse harmonique [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] triple différence Résumé : (auteur) Triple-frequency observations will introduce an inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) between the new frequency and the original dual-frequency observations. It has been verified that satellite IFCB can reach dozens of centimeters and several centimeters for GPS Block IIF satellite and BDS satellite, respectively. The existence of satellite IFCB will significantly affect undifferenced triple-frequency data processing. Based on 4-year data collected from 80 globally distributed stations, the long-term characteristics of IFCB coefficients obtained by using harmonic analysis have been studied. The results demonstrate that the coefficients of IFCB periodic model cannot be well fitted only by using sun elevation angle. Also, coefficients have obvious periodic characteristics and their periods differ among different satellites. Thus, a new linear-plus-periodic model is proposed to fit the long-term coefficients. Then, IFCB empirical correction models for 12 GPS Block IIF satellites and BDS GEO and IGSO satellites are built. In order to validate the correction model, IFCB standard deviation (STD), triple-frequency precise point positioning (PPP) and undifferenced extra-wide-lane (EWL) ambiguity resolution are employed. The results based on more than 4-year observations show that, with correction model applied, the average IFCB STD decreases by about 65.5% and 45.5% for GPS and BDS satellites, respectively. Compared to triple-frequency PPP without IFCB correction, triple-frequency PPP results with IFCB correction show that Up, North and East components accuracy are improved by 12.3%, 16.0% and 13.2%, respectively. Besides, IFCB correction will greatly improve the consistence of EWL fractional cycle bias among different stations and improve the success rate of EWL ambiguity resolution.
