The LEO satellites can cover the ocean area and are less affected by atmospheric delays and multipath errors, which provides new opportunities for calibrating the phase biases of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). In this contribution, we propose an alternative approach for uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation by making full use of onboard observations of LEO satellites. Stable wide-lane (WL) and narrow-lane (NL) UPDs can be obtained from spaceborne GNSS observations and agree well with the UPD products derived from 106 IGS stations. To further verify the feasibility of the proposed method for UPD estimation, zero-difference (ZD) ambiguity resolution (AR) for precise point positioning (PPP) and LEO precise orbit determination (POD) are implemented. After applying the LEO-based UPDs, the averaged convergence time for PPP AR can be reduced to 15.2 min, with an improvement of 24% compared to float solutions. As for LEO AR, the fixing rates of WL and NL ambiguities exceed 98 and 92%, respectively. The accuracies of ambiguity-fixed orbits are validated by comparing with external satellite laser ranging (SLR) and K-band ranging (KBR) observations. Compared to float solutions, the standard deviations (STDs) of SLR residuals can be reduced by 8 ~ 43%, and the KBR residuals of 3.75 mm can be achieved for fixed solutions using LEO-based UPDs, with an improvement of 60%. Although the current UPD results derived from LEO satellites are slightly worse than those of ground-based UPD, it is anticipated that the performance of LEO-based UPD can be further improved in the near future with the rapidly increasing number of LEO satellites and the continuous refinements of the POD method.

The main purpose of this research is to eliminate dependence on ground calibration sites using relative constraints between images. Based on a systematic analysis of these relative constraints, we found that it was difficult, if not impossible, to completely eliminate ground constraints, although the number of ground control points (GCPs) required can be greatly reduced. To achieve practical GC with high accuracy and low cost, we proposed a new method to compensate for systematic errors in linear optical satellite data acquisition using only the relative constraints between two overlapped images, namely, the corresponding elevation constraints and sparse GCPs. We first demonstrated the feasibility of GC with relative constraints and established an optimized GC model suitable for these relative constraints. We then presented a global iterative method to eliminate inaccuracies in internal calibration caused by the different distributions of GCPs within two images. The nadir (NAD) linear camera on board the Zi-Yuan 3 (ZY-3) satellite was used to evaluate the feasibility of the presented GC method; the results indicated that the present method effectively compensated for systematic errors. Thus, this article demonstrated the feasibility of GC without calibration sites.

Triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution with multi-constellation GNSS: BDS and Galileo / Xingxing Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 8 (August 2019)

Currently, all the BDS and Galileo satellites are capable of transmitting signals on three or more frequencies. In this contribution, we investigate the triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution with B1, B2 and B3 observations from BDS satellites and E1, E5a and E5b observations from Galileo satellites and evaluate the contribution of BDS + Galileo combination to triple-frequency PPP AR. The uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) products are estimated based on triple-frequency observations, and the temporal characteristic as well as the residual distributions are analyzed. Our results show that the extra-wide-lane (EWL) and wide-lane (WL) UPDs for BDS and Galileo satellites are both stable during the 30 days and the daily narrow-lane (NL) UPD series are also steady with no obvious fluctuation. The Galileo UPDs exhibit better performance than BDS UPDs due to the high-quality observations. It is also interesting to find that the EWL UPD corrections for all Galileo satellites are very close to the zero. With the precise UPD products, the triple-frequency PPP AR with BDS and Galileo observations was implemented in both static and kinematic modes. Compared to the ambiguity-float solution, the performance can be significantly improved by triple-frequency PPP AR with the positioning accuracy improved by 30–70% in both static and kinematic modes. Moreover, the triple-frequency PPP fixed solutions also present better performance than the dual-frequency PPP fixed solutions in terms of time to the first fix and positioning accuracy, especially for the Galileo-only and BDS + Galileo solutions. And the fusion of multi-GNSS (BDS and Galileo) can further improve the position estimations compared to the single system with more satellites and better spatial geometry.

Influence of stochastic modeling for inter-system biases on multi-GNSS undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning / Feng Zhou in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 3 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 23 n° 3 (July 2019) Titre : Influence of stochastic modeling for inter-system biases on multi-GNSS undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Feng Zhou, Auteur ; Danan Dong, Auteur ; Xin Li, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] bruit blanc [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (auteur) The focus of this study is on proper modeling of the dynamics for inter-system biases (ISBs) in multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP) processing. First, the theoretical derivation demonstrates that the ISBs originate from not only the receiver-dependent hardware delay differences among different GNSSs but also the receiver-independent time differences caused by the different clock datum constraints among different GNSS satellite clock products. Afterward, a comprehensive evaluation of the influence of ISB stochastic modeling on undifferenced and uncombined PPP performance is conducted, i.e., random constant, random walk process, and white noise process are considered. We use data based on a 1-month period (September 2017) Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) precise orbit and clock products from four analysis centers (CODE, GFZ, CNES, and WHU) and 160 MGEX tracking stations. The results demonstrate that generally, the positioning performance of PPP in terms of convergence time and positioning accuracy with the final products from CODE, CNES, and WHU is comparable among the three ISB handling schemes. However, estimating ISBs as random walk process or white noise process outperforms that as the random constant when using the GFZ products. These results indicate that the traditional estimation of ISBs as the random constant may not always be reasonable in multi-GNSS PPP processing. To achieve more reliable positioning results, it is highly recommended to consider the ISBs as random walk process or white noise process in multi-GNSS PPP processing.

In this study, we demonstrate the capability of BDS and the benefit of multi-GNSS for real-time capturing seismic waveforms using the combined high-rate BDS + GPS + GLONASS data collected during the 2017 Mw 6.5 Jiuzhaigou earthquake. For this event, we found that the displacements, derived from BDS precise point positioning (PPP) are better than that of Global Positioning System-only (GPS) results, especially in the east and vertical components with improvements of 43% and 23%. While the velocity waveforms from BDS present a comparable performance with GPS. the multi-GNSS fusion can significantly improve the accuracy by 47%, 55%, and 28% in the east, north, and vertical components compared with GPS-only results. The BDS and multi-GNSS derived displacement waveforms agree quite well with those obtained from integrating the acceleration, with accuracy at the millimeter level. In addition, the theoretical permanent displacement field calculated from a finite-fault slip model is selected as an independent reference, and the differences between GNSS derived permanent displacements and theoretical permanent displacements are mostly less than 1 mm. Therefore, we conclude that the BDS and multi-GNSS fusion can significantly contribute to the real-time capture of accurate seismic waveforms and that it has the potential to benefit for earthquake early warning and rapid geohazard assessment.
