Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 16 n° 2 (April 2022) . - pp 143 - 150 Titre : Effect of PCV and attitude on the precise orbit determination of Jason-3 satellite Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kai Li, Auteur ; Xuhua Zhou, Auteur ; Nannan Guo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 143 - 150 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] capteur d'orientation [Termes IGN] centre de phase [Termes IGN] données Jason [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] perturbation orbitale Résumé : (auteur) Satellite attitude modes and antenna phase center variations have a great influence on the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) of Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEOs). Inaccurate information about spacecraft attitude, phase center offsets and variations in the POD leads to orbital error. The Jason-3 satellite experienced complex attitude modes which are fixed, sinusoidal, ramp-up/down and yaw-flip. Therefore, it is necessary to properly construct the attitude model in the process of POD especially when there is no external attitude data. For the antenna phase center correction, the PCO which is the deviation between Antenna Reference Point (ARP) and Mean Antenna Phase Center (MAPC) usually can be calibrated on the ground accurately, but the PCV which is the deviation between Instantaneous Antenna Phase Center (IAPC) and Mean Antenna Phase Center (MAPC) will change greatly with the change of space environment. Residual approach can be used to estimate the receiver PCV map. In this paper, we collected the on-board GPS data of Jason-3 satellite from January 2019 and analyzed the impacts of PCV and spacecraft attitude on the orbit accuracy by performing the reduced-dynamic POD. Compared with the reference orbit released by the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), using the PCV map can reduce the Root Mean Square (RMS) of orbit differences in the Radial (R), Along-track (T), Cross-track (N) and 3D direction about 0.3, 1.0, 0.9, and 1.4 mm. Based on the estimated PCV map, the orbit accuracy in R, T, N and 3D direction is 1.24, 2.81, 1.17, and 3.29 cm respectively by using the measured attitude data. When using the attitude model, the orbit accuracy in R, T, N and 3D directions is 1.60, 3.54, 1.33, and 4.13 cm, respectively. The results showed that the combination of measured attitude data and modeled PCV map can obtain the better orbit solution. It is essential to build a corresponding model in high-precision orbit determination, when there is no attitude data and PCV map.

We performed test measurements with two types of multi-frequency QHA and compared them with a geodetic patch antenna. Although code and carrier phase noise and high-frequent multipath was determined to be larger as compared to the geodetic antenna, the fast-static horizontal coordinate accuracies are on the same level and demonstrate cm-accuracy capability. One of the QHA types exhibited an increased susceptibility to near-field multipath effects which resulted in a degraded accuracy of the vertical coordinate component.

High accuracy terrestrial positioning based on time delay and carrier phase using wideband radio signals / Han Dun (2021)

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), however, may not meet the required positioning performance, especially in urban environments, due to multipath and weak received power of the GNSS signal that can be easily blocked by surrounding objects. To achieve a high ranging precision and improve resolvability of unwanted reflections in urban areas, a large signal bandwidth is required. In this thesis, a terrestrial positioning system using a wideband radio signal is developed as a complement to the existing GNSS, which can provide a better ranging accuracy and higher received signal power, compared to GNSS. In the terrestrial positioning system presented in this thesis, a wideband ranging signal is implemented by means of a multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. All transmitters are synchronized by time and frequency reference signals, which are optically distributed through the white-rabbit precision time protocol (WR-PTP). Like in GNSS, the to-be-positioned receiver is not synchronized to the transmitters. Positioning takes place through range measurements between a number of transmitters and the receiver. Time delay and carrier phase are to be estimated from the received radio signal, which propagated through a multipath channel. This estimation is done on the basis of the channel frequency response and using the maximum likelihood principle. To determine whether or not reflections need to be considered in the estimation model, a measure of dependence is introduced to evaluate the change of the precision (i.e., variance), and the measure of bias is introduced to assess the bias of the estimator when the reflection is not considered. Also, a methodology is proposed for sparsity-promoting ranging signal design in this thesis. Based on a multiband OFDM signal, ranging signal design comes to sparsely select as few signal bands as possible. Using fewer signal bands for ranging leads to less computational complexity in time delay and carrier phase estimation, while the ranging performance can still benefit from a large virtual signal bandwidth, which is defined by the entire bandwidth between the two signal bands at the spectral edges. It is proposed to use the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of time delay estimation, the measure of dependence, and the measure of bias as constraints in ranging performance, and formulate an optimization problem to design a sparse multiband signal.

Improving smartphone-based GNSS positioning using state space augmentation techniques / Francesco Darugna (2021)

This significantly has increased the number of devices equipped with the necessary sensors to perform precise GNSS positioning. GNSS pseudorange and carrier phase are used to compute user positions. While both observations are affected by different error sources, e.g. the passage through the atmosphere, only the carrier-phase has an ambiguous nature. The resolution of this ambiguity is a crucial factor to reach fast and highly precise GNSS-based positioning. Currently, several smartphones are equipped with a dual-frequency, multi-constellation receiver. The access to Android-based GNSS raw measurements has become a strong motivation to investigate the feasibility of smartphone-based high-accuracy positioning. The quality of smartphone GNSS measurements has been analyzed, suggesting that they often suffer from low signal-to-noise, inhomogeneous antenna gain and high levels of multipath. This workshows how to tackle several of the currently present obstacles and demonstrates centimeter-level positioning with a low-cost GNSS antenna and a low-cost GNSS receiver built into an off-the-shelf smartphone. Since the beginning of the research in smartphone-based positioning, the device’s GNSS antenna has been recognized as one of the main limitations. Besides Multipath (MP), the antenna radiation pattern is the main site-dependent error source of GNSS observations. An absolute antenna calibration has been performed for the dual-frequency smartphone HuaweiMate20X. Antenna Phase Center Offset (PCO), and Variations (PCV ) have been estimated to correct for the antenna impact on the L1 and L5 phase observations. Accordingly, the relevance of considering the individual PCO and PCV for the two frequencies is shown. The PCV patterns indicate absolute values up to 2 cm and 4 cm for L1 and L5, respectively. The impactof antenna corrections has been assessed in different multipath environments using a high-accuracy positioning algorithm employing an uncombined observation model and applying Ambiguity Resolution (AR). Experiments both in zero-baseline and short-baseline configurations have been performed. Instantaneous AR in the zero-baseline setup has been demonstrated, showing the potential for cm-level positioning with low-cost sensors available inside smartphones. In short-baselines configurations, no reliable AR is achieved without antenna corrections. However, after correcting for PCV, successful AR is demonstrated for a smartphone placed in a low multipath environment on the ground of a soccer field. For a rooftop open-skytest case with large multipath, AR was successful in 19 out of 35 data-sets. Overall, the antenna calibration is demonstrated being an asset for smartphone-based positioning with AR,showing cm-level 2D Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). In GNSS-based positioning, a user within a region covered by a network of reference stations can take advantage of the network-estimated augmentation parameters. Among the GNSS error sources, atmospheric delays have a strong impact on the positioning performance and the ability to resolve ambiguities. State Space Representation (SSR) atmospheric corrections, i.e. tropospheric and ionospheric delays, are commonly estimated for the approximate user position by interpolation from values calculated for the reference stations. Widely used interpolation techniques are Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), Ordinary Kriging (OK)and Weighted Least Squares (WLS). The interpolation quality of such techniques during severe weather events and Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) is analyzed. To improve the interpolation performance during such events, modified WLS methods taking advantage of the physical atmospheric behavior are proposed. To support this interpolation approach, external information from Numerical Weather Models (NWM) for tropospheric interpolation and from TID modeling for ionospheric interpolation is introduced to the algorithms. The interpolation is assessed using simulated data (considering artificial and real network geometries), and real SSR parameters generated by network computation of GNSS measurements. As examples, two severe weather events in northern Europe in 2017 and one TID eventover Japan in 2019 have been analyzed. The interpolation of SSR Zenith Tropospheric Delay(ZTD) and ionospheric parameters is evaluated. Considering the reference station positions as rover locations, the modified WLS approach marks a lower RMSE in up to 80% of the cases during sharp weather fluctuations. Also, the average error can be decreased in 64% of the cases during the TID event investigated. Improvements up to factors larger than two are observed. Furthermore, specific cases are isolated, showing particular ZTD variations where significant errors (e.g. larger than 1 cm) can be reduced by up to 20% of the total amount. As a final product of the analysis, tropospheric and ionospheric messages are proposed. The messages contain the information needed to implement the suggested interpolation. Along with the need for accurate atmospheric models, the concept of consistency in the SSR corrections is crucial. A format that can transport all the SSR corrections estimated by a network is the Geo++ SSR format (SSRZ). Exploiting the features of the SSRZ format, the impact of an error in the transported ionospheric parameters is investigated. It is shown that the position estimation strongly depends on the ionospheric modeling and mismodeling can result in cm level errors, especially in the height component.
