Due to the FDMA multiplexing scheme, the conventional CDMA observation model has to be modified to restore the integer estimability of the ambiguities. This modification has a strong impact on positioning capabilities. In particular, the ambiguity resolution performance of this model is clearly weaker than for CDMA systems, so that fast and reliable full ambiguity resolution is usually not feasible for standalone GLONASS, and adding GLONASS data in a multi-GNSS approach can reduce the ambiguity resolution performance of the combined model. Partial ambiguity resolution was demonstrated to be a suitable tool to overcome this weakness (Teunissen in GPS Solut 23(4):100, 2019). We provide an exhaustive formal analysis of the positioning precision and ambiguity resolution capabilities for short, medium, and long baselines in a multi-GNSS environment with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and GLONASS. Simulations are used to show that with a difference test-based partial ambiguity resolution method, adding GLONASS data improves the positioning performance in all considered cases. Real data from different baselines are used to verify these findings. When using all five available systems, instantaneous centimeter-level positioning is possible on an 88.5 km baseline with the ionosphere weighted model, and on average, only 3.27 epochs are required for a long baseline with the ionosphere float model, thereby enabling near instantaneous solutions.

First, an optimal GF-IF WL linear combination is selected based on the ratio between the code and carrier phase measurement noise (RT). Then, the relation between ambiguity variance and satellite geometry in the GB-IF WL-AR is investigated. Both simulated and real data from 31 GNSS stations over 37 consecutive days in 2017 were used. Numerical results show that the GF-IF WL-AR method has shorter TTFF and higher ambiguity fixing rate compared to the GB-IF method when RT≤150. However, when RT≥150, the GB-IF method outperforms the GF-IF method. Depending on RT values used, 2–10 min would be required to resolve the WL ambiguities when using GNSS measurements with one second sampling rate.

Precise point positioning with decimetre accuracy using wide-lane ambiguities and triple-frequency GNSS data / Manoj Deo in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 14 n° 3 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 14 n° 3 (July 2020) . - pp 263 – 284 Titre : Precise point positioning with decimetre accuracy using wide-lane ambiguities and triple-frequency GNSS data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Manoj Deo, Auteur ; Ahmed El-Mowafy, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 263 – 284 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes descripteurs IGN] bruit atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] combinaison linéaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] triple différence Résumé : (auteur) This paper proposes precise point positioning (PPP) methods that offer an accuracy of a few decimetres (dm) with triple frequency GNSS data. Firstly, an enhanced triple frequency linear combination is presented for rapid fixing of the extra wide-lane (EWL) and wide-lane (WL) ambiguities for GPS, Beidou-2 and Galileo. This has improved performance compared to the Melbourne-Wübbena (MW) linear combination, and has 6.7 % lower measurement noise for the GPS L1/L2 signals, 12.7 % for L1/L5 and 0.7 % for L2/L5. Analysis with tested data showed a 5–6 % reduction in time required to fix the N21 and N51 ambiguities. Once the EWL/WL ambiguities are fixed with the proposed linear combinations, three methods are presented that aim to provide positioning accuracy of a few dm. In the first approach, the three EWL/WL ambiguities in their respective phase equations are used to derive a low-noise ionosphere-free (IF) linear combination. The second method uses a low noise IF combination with two carrier-phase EWL/WL equations and a single pseudorange measurement. The third method uses a low noise IF combination with a single carrier phase EWL equation and two pseudorange measurements. These proposed methods can provide dm level positioning accuracy if carrier phase measurements with mm precision is tracked by the receiver. When comparing these combinations with a combination proposed in [], it is found that superior performance is achieved with the third method when carrier phase noise is >5–6 mm for GPS and Beidou-2 and >2–3 mm for Galileo. This model only requires the EWL ambiguity to be fixed which typically takes just one epoch of data. Thus, the user achieves instant decimetre level PPP accuracy.

Absolute field calibration for multi-GNSS receiver antennas at ETH Zurich / Daniel Willi in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020)

An industrial robot is used to rotate and tilt the antenna to be calibrated. This procedure ensures good coverage of the antenna hemisphere and reduces systematic errors. The calibration system at ETH Zurich is validated by a direct comparison of the obtained calibrations with calibrations from the anechoic chamber method (University of Bonn) and from another absolute field calibration method (Geo++® GmbH). Calibrations by ETH Zurich agree on the sub-millimeter level with both reference calibrations. A second validation was conducted using real measurements on short baselines. Data were acquired on four stations in direct vicinity and processed using different phase center correction models. The experiment shows that individual corrections of ETH Zurich reduce the residuals in the coordinate domain when compared to type-mean calibrations of the International GNSS Service (IGS). However, residual biases between GPS and Galileo coordinates remain. These biases are efficiently reduced when using the new type-mean calibrations from the IGS that include calibration values for all GNSS, including Galileo. The ETH Zurich calibration system is proven to deliver meaningful calibrations that agree with other calibrations on the millimeter level in the azimuth and elevation domain. The field validation shows evidence that the consistency of the Galileo and GPS calibration should be further enhanced by performing a combined GPS and Galileo analysis, which is not yet implemented.

Reducing convergence time of precise point positioning with ionospheric constraints and receiver differential code bias modeling / Yan Xiang in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n°1 (January 2020)

Different from the traditional PPP, the uncombined PPP method based on raw observations estimates ionospheric delays. When external ionospheric information is available, it can be applied as a constraint to help shorten the convergence time, as a result of the reduced correlation between the position and the ionospheric parameters. The receiver differential code biases (DCBs) will be a concern, however, when applying the external ionospheric information. For receiver DCBs, it is usually assumed that the biases can be absorbed by the receiver clock parameters. We have demonstrated that the receiver DCBs cannot be fully assimilated by one receiver code clock parameter because the receiver DCBs have different effects on the code and carrier phase measurements at any frequency. Additional parameters are necessary to model the receiver DCBs so that their effects on the positioning solution can be minimized. We developed an ionosphere-constrained PPP model to incorporate ionospheric total electron content (TEC) in the slant (STEC) and vertical (VTEC) when leveraging a regional network and global ionospheric maps (GIMs). Both static and kinematic experimental results show that the convergence time and the positioning accuracy can be improved significantly. Accuracies at the first epoch of 0.4 m for GIM constraints, and 0.2 m for the regional constraints, are achievable. The convergence time to 1 dm horizontal accuracy is reduced to 7.5 min at a 68% confidence level.
