GBPSs are known for their low cost and high flexibility, but most of them have difficulty in achieving rapid deployment and operation, since the coordinates of transmitters rely on external precise measurements. Several existing self-calibration methods based on carrier phase measurements require known points of GBPS transmitters or receivers, which implies dependence on external measurements. This paper proposes an autonomous coordinate establishment (ACE) method without using known reference points for GBPSs. ACE utilizes a kinematic receiver to collect carrier phase measurements and employs a three-step procedure to establish a regional coordinate system. In the first step, ACE uses the properties of matrix structures to decouple generalized ambiguities and coordinates. Then, ACE obtains the rough estimation of the transmitter coordinates via multi-dimensional scaling in the second step. In the third step, ACE refines the estimate by solving a least squares problem which would be difficult to solve without the previous two steps. Numerical simulations and a real-world experiment show that the coordinate estimation of ACE can achieve decimeter to centimeter-level accuracy. The proposed method enables rapid deployment and operation for GBPSs.

The method relies on pseudorange and beat carrier-phase measurements of signals that propagate in the ionosphere along curved trajectories, where signals are refracted back downwards from the ionosphere. It has been demonstrated that the location of a receiver can be determined if several signals, broadcast from beacons at different locations, are received and processed at a user receiver. A challenge of determining exact signal paths is the uncertainty in the ionosphere’s electron density distribution. This is addressed by a batch filter that simultaneously estimates the receiver position along with corrections to a parametric model of the ionosphere. A previous paper developed the theory and batch filter for this concept. The present study examines its potential performance. Total horizontal position errors on the order of tens to hundreds of meters are achieved, depending on the case’s characteristics.

The aim of this work is to cartographically represent the areas in which the AIS signals emitted by ships will be received by a coastal station. This work contributes to the improvement of maritime situational awareness and to the detection of anomalies at sea [1], and in particular to the identification of AIS message falsifications [2] (ubiquity of a vessel by identity theft, falsification of GPS positions and deactivation of AIS).

A single-receiver geometry-free approach to stochastic modeling of multi-frequency GNSS observables / Baocheng Zhang in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n°4 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n°4 (April 2020) Titre : A single-receiver geometry-free approach to stochastic modeling of multi-frequency GNSS observables Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Baocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Pengyu Hou, Auteur ; Teng Liu, Auteur ; Yunbin Yuan, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] analyse de variance [Termes IGN] corrélation croisée normalisée [Termes IGN] corrélation temporelle [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes IGN] méthode robuste [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] récepteur [Termes IGN] traitement de données GNSS [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The proper choice of stochastic model is of great importance to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data processing. Whereas extensive investigations into stochastic modeling are mainly based on the relative (or differential) method employing zero and/or short baselines, this work proposes an absolute method that relies upon a stand-alone receiver and works by applying the least-squares variance component estimation to the geometry-free functional model, thus facilitating the characterization of stochastic properties of multi-frequency GNSS observables at the undifferenced level. In developing the absolute method, special care has been taken of the code multipath effects by introducing ambiguity-like parameters to the code observation equations. By means of both the relative and absolute methods, we characterize the precision, cross and time correlation of the code and phase observables of two newly emerging constellations, namely the Chinese BDS and the European Galileo, collected by a variety of receivers of different types at multiple frequencies. Our first finding is that so far as the precision is concerned, the absolute method yields nearly the same numerical values as those derived by the zero-baseline-based relative method. However, the two methods give contradictory results with regard to the cross correlation, which is found (not) to occur between BDS phase observables when use has been made of the relative (absolute) method. Our explanation to this discrepancy is that the cross correlation found in the relative method originates from the parts (antenna, cable, low noise amplifier) shared by two receivers creating a zero baseline. The time correlation is only of significance when the multipath effects are present, as is the case with the short-baseline-based relative method; this correlation turns out to be largely weaker (or ideally absent) in the absolute (or zero-baseline-based relative) method. Moreover, with the absolute method, the stochastic properties determined for two receivers of the same type but subject to different multipath effects are virtually the same. We take this as a convincing evidence that the absolute method is robust against multipath effects. Hence, the absolute method proposed in the present work represents a promising complement to the relative method and appears to be particularly beneficial to GNSS positioning, navigation and timing technologies based on the undifferenced observables, typically the precise point positioning.

Ground-based phase wind-up and its application in yaw angle determination / M. Cai in Journal of geodesy, vol 90 n° 8 (August 2016)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 90 n° 8 (August 2016) . - pp 757 – 772 Titre : Ground-based phase wind-up and its application in yaw angle determination Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : M. Cai, Auteur ; W. Chen, Auteur ; D. Dong, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 757 – 772 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] antenne GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] récepteur Résumé : (auteur) Ground-based phase wind-up effect (GPWU) is caused by the rotation of receiving antenna. It had been studied and applied in rapidly rotation platforms, such as sounding rocket, guided missile and deep space exploration. In Global Navigation Satellite System high accuracy positioning applications, however, most studies treated it as an error source and focused on eliminating this effect in Precision Point Positioning and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning. The GPWU effect is also sensitive to the rotational status of the antenna, in particular the yaw angle variations. In this paper we explore the feasibility of yaw angle determination of relatively slow rotation platforms based on the GPWU effect. We use the geometry-free carrier phase observations from a RTK base and a moving station receivers to estimate the cumulative yaw angle of the moving platform. Several experiments, including rotating platform tests, vehicle and shipborne tests were carried out. The cumulative errors of rotating platform tests are under 0.38∘, indicating good long-term accuracy of the GPWU determined yaw angle. But the RMS are in a range of 11.98∘and 17.39∘, indicating the errors, such as multipath effect, are not negligible and should be further investigated. The RMS of vehicle and shipborne tests using a base station of 9–11 km are 24.77∘ and 23.66∘. In order to evaluate the influence of the differential ionospheric delay, another vehicle test was carried out using a base station located less than 1 km to the vehicle. The RMS reduces to 15.11∘, which gains 39.00 % improvement than before, and demonstrates that the differential ionospheric delay even from a few kilometers long baseline still cannot be neglected. These tests validate the feasibility of GPWU for real-time yaw angle determination. Since this method is able to determine the yaw angle with a minimum one satellite, such a unique feature provides potential applications for attitude determination in the environment with poor sky visibility.
