This article summarizes the processing strategy and presents the validation results of the WHU BDS-3 orbit and clock solutions submitted to the International GNSS Service Multi-GNSS Experiment in 2019. Although more than 200 stations with B1I and B3I signals tracking capability can be used for BDS-3 precise orbit determination, the number of tracking stations for different satellites diverges greatly; in general, more stations track those launched early and less those deployed late. The validations with orbit boundary misclosures, orbit differences with respect to BDS-3 products of GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) residuals show that the orbits are affected by the number of tracking stations and the deficiency of dynamic models. To overcome the latter, an a priori solar radiation pressure (SRP) model has been proposed considering the Earth albedo and antenna thrust. The SLR validation shows that the new SRP model significantly improves the orbit from 5 to 7 cm to about 3 to 4 cm by reducing the Sun-elongation-angle-dependent errors of the BDS-3 orbits. Besides, the clock products have been compared with those of GFZ, and the root-mean-square (RMS) of clock linear fit is also analyzed. Noticeable different quality has been shown for Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard and Passive Hydrogen Maser (PHM) clocks. The Sun-elevation-angle-dependent patterns are identified in PHM clocks, and the RMS of clock linear fit of PHM clocks can be reduced with improved dynamic modeling, particularly in eclipse seasons.

Improving undifferenced precise satellite clock estimation with BDS-3 quad-frequency B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a observations for precise point positioning / Guoqiang Jiao in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 28 Titre : Improving undifferenced precise satellite clock estimation with BDS-3 quad-frequency B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a observations for precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Guoqiang Jiao, Auteur ; Shuli Song, Auteur ; Ke Su, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 28 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (auteur) Estimates of satellite clock offsets typically employ dual-frequency undifferenced (UD) ionospheric-free (IF) observations from global network. 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.

An efficient method to compensate receiver clock jumps in real-time precise point positioning / Shaoguang Xu in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 20 (October-2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 20 (October-2 2022) . - n° 5222 Titre : An efficient method to compensate receiver clock jumps in real-time precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shaoguang Xu, Auteur ; Jialu Long, Auteur ; Jinling Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 5222 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] glissement de cycle [Termes IGN] horloge du récepteur [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) In global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs)-based positioning, user receiver clock jump is a common phenomenon on the low-cost receiver clocks and can break the continuity of observation time tag, carrier phase and pseudo range. The discontinuity may affect precise point positioning-related parameter estimation, including receiver clock error, position, troposphere and ionosphere parameters. It is important to note that these parameters can be used for timing, positioning, atmospheric inversion and so on. In response to this problem, the receiver clock jumps are divided into two types. The first one can be expressed by the carrier phase and pseudo range having the same scale jump, and the second one is that they are having different scale jumps. For the first type, if a small priori variance of receiver clock error is provided, it can affect the accuracy of ionospheric delay estimation both in static and kinematic mode, while in the latter mode, it also affects position estimation. However, if large process noise is provided, numerical problems may arise since other parameters’ process noises are usually small, it is proposed to use the single point positioning with pseudo ranges to provide a priori value of receiver clock error, and an empiric value is assigned to its prior variance, this handle can avoid the above problems. For the second type, instead of compensating so many raw observations in the traditional methods, it is proposed to compensate the ambiguities at the clock jump epochs only in a new method. The new method corrects the Melbourne–Wubbena (MW) combination firstly in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips for current epoch, and the second step is to compensate the corresponding ambiguities, then, after Kalman filtering, the MW and its mean should be corrected back in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips at the next epoch. This approach has the advantage of handling the clock jump epoch-wise and can avoid correcting the rest of the observations as the traditional methods used to. With the numerical validation examples both in static and kinematic modes, it shows the new method is simple but efficient for real time precise point positioning (PPP).

Precise onboard time synchronization for LEO satellites / Florian Kunzi in Navigation : journal of the Institute of navigation, vol 69 n° 3 (Fall 2022)  

Public [article]  inNavigation : journal of the Institute of navigation > vol 69 n° 3 (Fall 2022) . - n° 531 Titre : Precise onboard time synchronization for LEO satellites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Florian Kunzi, Auteur ; Oliver Montenbruck, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 531 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] horloge [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] oscillateur [Termes IGN] récepteur DORIS [Termes IGN] récepteur GNSS [Termes IGN] récepteur trifréquence [Termes IGN] synchronisation [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) Onboard time synchronization is an important requirement for a wide range of low Earth orbit (LEO) missions such as altimetry or communication services, and extends to future position, navigation, and timing (PNT) services in LEO. For GNSS-based time synchronization, continuous knowledge about the satellite’s position is required and, eventually, the quality of the position solution defines the timing precision attainable through GNSS measurements. Previous research has shown that real-time GNSS orbit determination of LEO satellites can achieve decimeter-level accuracy. This paper characterizes the performance of GNSS-based real-time clock synchronization in LEO using the satellite Sentinel-6A as a real-world case study. The satellite’s ultra-stable oscillator (USO) and triple-frequency GPS/Galileo receiver provide measurements for a navigation filter representative of real-time onboard processing. Continuous evaluation of actual flight data over 14 days shows that a 3D orbit root-mean-square (RMS) error of 11 cm and a 0.9-ns clock standard deviation can be achieved.

Orbit determination, clock estimation and performance evaluation of BDS-3 PPP-B2b service / Chengpan Tang in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022) . - n° 60 Titre : Orbit determination, clock estimation and performance evaluation of BDS-3 PPP-B2b service Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chengpan Tang, Auteur ; Xiaogong Hu, Auteur ; Jinping Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 60 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) This paper focuses on PPP-B2b, one of the featured services for BDS-3, which provides users around China with centimetre-level static positioning accuracy and decimetre-level kinematic positioning accuracy by broadcasting precise corrections for GPS/BDS-3 satellites. The GEO PPP-B2b signal broadcasted information types, including the PRN mask, orbit corrections, differential code bias corrections and clock corrections, are introduced, as well as a brief description of their usage. A new orbit determination strategy using regional L-band code/phase measurements and inter-satellite link measurements in combination and a real-time clock estimation strategy based on the Kalman filter for PPP-B2b precise correction generation are introduced in this contribution. Then, the accuracy of the orbit and clock corrections is assessed. The orbit user ranging error (URE) is 0.05 m for the BDS-3 MEO and GPS satellites. The orbit URE for BDS-3 IGSO satellites is worse, i.e., 0.15 m. The clock correction accuracy is 0.2 ns for BDS-3 and GPS satellites. Finally, the PPP-B2b performance is validated by both the static PPP process and simulated kinematic PPP process. BDS-3/GPS dual-system PPP offers faster convergence and better accuracy. The positioning accuracy achievable using PPP-B2b real-time products is at the same level as that using post-processed products. The RMS for BDS-3/GPS dual-system static positioning errors is less than 1.0 cm in east and north and about 3.0 cm in the up. The simulated kinematic positioning accuracy is better than 2.5 cm in the north, 3.5 cm in the east and 8.5 cm in the up directions after convergence.
