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.

GNSS carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) handling: an absolute bias perspective in multi-frequency PPP / Ke Su in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022) . - n° 71 Titre : GNSS carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) handling: an absolute bias perspective in multi-frequency PPP Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ke Su, Auteur ; Shuanggen Jin, Auteur ; Guoqiang Jiao, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 71 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] signal BeiDou [Termes IGN] signal Galileo [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) In precise satellite clock estimation, the satellite clock offsets absorb the pseudorange and carrier phase time-variant hardware delays. The dissimilarity of the satellite clock estimated with observations at different frequencies is termed the inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB). The bias inconsistency suggests that the simple ionospheric-free satellite clock cannot directly be applied to the multi-frequency carrier phase observations in multi-frequency precise point positioning (PPP). We propose the carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) concept and the corresponding estimation approach to solve this. The definition, rationality, reliability and validity of the carrier phase time-variant OSB are clarified. The new concept advantage is that a set of the carrier phase time-variant OSB values can directly amend on the carrier phase observations, and thereafter, the IFCB effect can be eliminated, which provides the flexibilities for the GNSS carrier phase observation handing. Datasets collected from 144 Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) stations are adopted for the carrier phase time-variant OSB estimation and an analysis of its effect on the GNSS multi-frequency PPP performance. The various multi-frequency PPP models are tested and evaluated considering the carrier phase time-variant OSB correction. The results indicate that the GPS, BDS-2 and BDS-3 carrier phase time-variant OSB time series have the obvious amplitudes and the amplitudes of the Galileo and QZSS carrier phase time-variant OSB are small. The GPS and BDS-2 multi-frequency PPP performance is significantly enhanced when correcting the carrier phase time-variant OSB. The GPS-only kinematic ionospheric-float PPP exhibits the positioning accuracy of 1.0 cm, 2.2 cm and 2.6 cm in the north, east and up components when correcting the carrier phase time-variant OSB, whereas the positioning accuracy of the case without the correction is 1.4 cm, 2.8 cm and 3.7 cm in three directions, respectively. The mean convergence time of two dual-frequency and three triple-frequency BDS-2-only kinematic PPP is reduced by 5.0%, 4.9%, 5.4%, 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively, with the carrier phase time-variant OSB correction. The carrier phase time-variant OSB improvement on BDS-3-only multi-frequency PPP is not obvious owing to the relatively few available and stable carrier phase time-variant OSB values. The reliability, suitability and effectiveness of the GNSS carrier phase time-variant OSB are demonstrated.
