The discontinuity may affect precise point positioning-related parameter estimation, including receiver clock error, position, troposphere and ionosphere parameters. It is important to note that these parameters can be used for timing, positioning, atmospheric inversion and so on. In response to this problem, the receiver clock jumps are divided into two types. The first one can be expressed by the carrier phase and pseudo range having the same scale jump, and the second one is that they are having different scale jumps. For the first type, if a small priori variance of receiver clock error is provided, it can affect the accuracy of ionospheric delay estimation both in static and kinematic mode, while in the latter mode, it also affects position estimation. However, if large process noise is provided, numerical problems may arise since other parameters’ process noises are usually small, it is proposed to use the single point positioning with pseudo ranges to provide a priori value of receiver clock error, and an empiric value is assigned to its prior variance, this handle can avoid the above problems. For the second type, instead of compensating so many raw observations in the traditional methods, it is proposed to compensate the ambiguities at the clock jump epochs only in a new method. The new method corrects the Melbourne–Wubbena (MW) combination firstly in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips for current epoch, and the second step is to compensate the corresponding ambiguities, then, after Kalman filtering, the MW and its mean should be corrected back in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips at the next epoch. This approach has the advantage of handling the clock jump epoch-wise and can avoid correcting the rest of the observations as the traditional methods used to. With the numerical validation examples both in static and kinematic modes, it shows the new method is simple but efficient for real time precise point positioning (PPP).

Generating GPS decoupled clock products for precise point positioning with ambiguity resolution / Shuai Liu in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 1 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 1 (January 2022) . - n° 6 Titre : Generating GPS decoupled clock products for precise point positioning with ambiguity resolution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shuai Liu, Auteur ; Yunbin Yan, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 6 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] horloge du récepteur [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] onde porteuse [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Carrier-phase integer ambiguity resolution (AR) is the key to improving the positioning accuracy of precise point positioning (PPP). However, in theory, the integer property of ambiguities in PPP are destroyed due to the absorption of phase biases. In this study, we analyzed a set of clock products consisting of a code clock, phase clock and wide-lane (WL) bias based on the decoupled clock (DCK) model, to facilitate PPP AR. The determination of the datum of the receiver clock as well as ambiguity were analyzed in detail to arrive at ways to eliminate rank deficiency. To fix ambiguity at the server end, we propose an approach by rounding directly with “fixing solution” (FS) and “partial ambiguity hold” (PAH) strategies, to increase the fixing rate and avoid the biased solution resulting from ambiguity datum loss. With respect to the International GNSS Service (IGS) legacy clocks, the mean standard deviations (STDs) of the phase clock and code clock were about 0.02 and 1.05 ns respectively, while the WL bias was about 0.12 cycles. Additionally, the convergence speed and stability of the decoupled phase clock are significantly improved compared with the conventional PPP model. Experiments on PPP positioning performance were conducted using 1 week of GPS data from more than 100 stations, considering the IGS weekly solutions as a benchmark. The ambiguity-fixed PPP with decoupled clocks had almost the same accuracy as the integer-recovered clock model, but the average accuracy improvements compared with the conventional PPP model in the east, north, and up components were 59.2, 32.4, and 20.3%, respectively, in the static mode, and approximately 38.0, 26.2, and 19.2% in the kinematic mode. These results demonstrate that users can achieve ambiguity-fixed solutions and obtain high-precision positioning coordinates with our decoupled clock products.

Any imprecise time measurement in GPS-based structures, such as smart power grids, economic activities, and communication towers, can lead to disastrous results. The vulnerability of the stationary GPS receivers to the time synchronization attacks (TSAs) jeopardizes the GPS timing precision and trust level. In the past few years, studies suggested the adoption of estimators to follow the authentic trend of the clock offset information under attack conditions. However, the estimators would lose track of the authentic signal without proper knowledge of the signal characteristics. Therefore, a multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP NN) is proposed to follow the trend of the data. The main difference between the proposed method and typical estimators is the reliance of the network on the training information consisting of signal features. The proposed MLP NN performance has been evaluated through two real-world datasets and two well-known types of TSA. The root mean square error results exhibit an improvement of at least six times compared to other conventional and state-of-art methods.

For a number of years, such oscillators are being investigated regarding their overall technical applicability, i.e., transportability, and performance in dynamic environments. The short-term frequency stability of these clocks is usually specified by the manufacturer, being valid for stationary applications. Since the performance of most oscillators is likely degraded in dynamic conditions, various oscillators are tested to find the limits of receiver clock modeling in dynamic cases and consequently derive adequate stochastic models to be used in navigation. We present the performance of three different oscillators (Microsemi MAC SA.35m, Spectratime LCR-900 and Stanford Research Systems SC10) for static and dynamic applications. For the static case, all three oscillators are characterized in terms of their frequency stability at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany's national metrology institute. The resulting Allan deviations agree well with the manufacturer's data. Furthermore, a flight experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the oscillators under dynamic conditions. Here, each oscillator is replacing the internal oscillator of a geodetic-grade GNSS receiver and the stability of the receiver clock biases is determined. The time and frequency offsets of the oscillators are characterized with regard to the flight dynamics recorded by a navigation-grade inertial measurement unit. The results of the experiment show that the frequency stability of each oscillator is degraded by about at least one order of magnitude compared to the static case. Also, the two quartz oscillators show a significant g-sensitivity resulting in frequency shifts of − 1.2 × 10−9 and + 1.5 × 10−9, respectively, while the rubidium clocks are less sensitive, thus enabling receiver clock modeling and strengthening of the navigation performance even in high dynamics.

This concept enables to apply onboard GPS clock estimates in the DORIS processing substituting the DORIS polynomial clock model by the GPS epoch-wise model, together with a DORIS-specific clock offset. Such an approach is particularly profitable for the mitigation of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) effect affecting the short-term frequency stability of the USO oscillator in the South America and South Atlantic region. The GPS clock behavior precisely maps the SAA effect and enables us to demonstrate a difference of the USO sensitivity to the SAA for Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B. We present world grid maps of clock time derivatives for both Sentinels, displaying a different sign of the direct effect and other differences in the USO memory/recovery effect. Moreover, we present the impact of SAA on 3D positioning where the largest SAA-related bias reaches several centimeters. We also determine an effect of the precise clock modeling on the Earth rotation parameter estimates. In addition to these improvements, the elimination of the SAA effect gives us an opportunity to get an almost SAA-free DORIS solution from Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B satellites. Using the combined solution of both Sentinels as a reference, we estimate the SAA effect on the DORIS beacon positions also for satellites Jason-2, Jason-3, Saral, Cryosat-2 and Hy-2A and find significant positioning biases for all the recent satellites except Saral.
