These BDS-3 satellites feature the inter-satellite link (ISL) and new high-quality onboard clocks. In this study, we present the analysis of BDS-3 orbits and clocks determined by Ka-band ISL measurements from 18 MEO satellites and one GEO satellite. The ISL data of 43 days from 1 January to 12 February 2019 are used. The BDS-3 ISL measurement is described by a dual one-way ranging model. After converting bidirectional observations to the same epoch, Ka-band clock-free and geometry-free observables are obtained by the addition and subtraction of dual one-way observations, respectively. One anchor station with Ka-band bidirectional observations is introduced into the orbit determination to provide the orientation constraints. Using Ka-band clock-free observables, BDS-3 satellite orbits are determined. The ISL hardware delays are estimated together with orbits, and the resulting hardware delay estimates are quite stable with STD of about 0.03 ns. The Ka-band orbits are evaluated by orbit overlap differences, comparison with L-band precise orbits, and satellite laser ranging validation. The results indicate that the radial orbit errors are on the 2–4 cm level for MEO satellites and 8–10 cm for the GEO satellite. In addition, we investigate the ground anchoring capability by adding one anchor station and reducing the amount of data of the anchor station. Using Ka-band geometry-free observables, BDS-3 satellite clocks are estimated and the RMS of post-fit ISL residuals is about 5 cm. The Ka-band clock offsets are analyzed and compared with L-band precise clocks. Independent of orbit errors, the Allan deviation of Ka-band clocks for averaging interval longer than 5000 s is superior to that of L-band clocks. Furthermore, a pronounced bump, which appears in the Allan deviation of L-band clocks, almost vanishes in Ka-band clocks. Finally, the periodic variations are detected for L-band and Ka-band clocks.

Estimation of antenna phase center offset for BDS IGSO and MEO satellites / Guanwen Huang in GPS solutions, vol 22 n° 2 (April 2018)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 22 n° 2 (April 2018) . - pp 22 - 49 Titre : Estimation of antenna phase center offset for BDS IGSO and MEO satellites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Guanwen Huang, Auteur ; Xingyuan Yan, Auteur ; Zhang Qian, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 22 - 49 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] centre de phase [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbitographie Résumé : (Auteur) The BeiDou satellite navigation system (BDS) is different from other global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) because of its special constellation, which consists of satellites in geostationary earth orbit, inclined geosynchronous earth orbit (IGSO), and medium earth orbit (MEO). Compared to MEO satellites, the observations of IGSO satellites cover only a small range of nadir angles. Therefore, the estimation of phase center offsets (PCOs) suffers from high correlation with other estimation parameters. We have estimated the phase center offsets for BeiDou IGSO and MEO satellites with a direct PCO parameters model, and constraints are applied to cope with the correlation between the PCOs and other parameters. Validation shows that the estimated PCO parameters could be used to improve the accuracy of orbit and clock offset overlaps. Compared with the Multi-GNSS Experiment antenna phase center correction model, the average improvements of the proposed method for along-track, cross-track, and radial components are 19 mm (31%), 5 mm (14%), and 2 mm (15%) for MEO satellites, and 13 mm (17%), 12 mm (21%), and 5 mm (19%) for IGSO satellites. For clock offset overlaps, average improvements of standard deviation and root mean square (RMS) are 0.03 ns (20%) and 0.03 ns (12%), respectively. The RMS of precise coordinates in the BDS-only positioning was also improved significantly with a level of 24 mm (30%) in the up-direction. Finally, the overall uncertainty of the estimated results is discussed.

Precise orbit determination of the Fengyun-3C satellite using onboard GPS and BDS observations / Min Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 91 n° 11 (November 2017)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 91 n° 11 (November 2017) . - pp 1313 - 1327 Titre : Precise orbit determination of the Fengyun-3C satellite using onboard GPS and BDS observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Min Li, Auteur ; Wenwen Li, Auteur ; Chuang Shi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 1313 - 1327 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] correction du trajet multiple [Termes IGN] Feng-Yun-3 [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] orbitographie par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] satellite météorologique Résumé : (Auteur) The GNSS Occultation Sounder instrument onboard the Chinese meteorological satellite Fengyun-3C (FY-3C) tracks both GPS and BDS signals for orbit determination. One month’s worth of the onboard dual-frequency GPS and BDS data during March 2015 from the FY-3C satellite is analyzed in this study. The onboard BDS and GPS measurement quality is evaluated in terms of data quantity as well as code multipath error. Severe multipath errors for BDS code ranges are observed especially for high elevations for BDS medium earth orbit satellites (MEOs). The code multipath errors are estimated as piecewise linear model in 2∘×2∘ grid and applied in precise orbit determination (POD) calculations. POD of FY-3C is firstly performed with GPS data, which shows orbit consistency of approximate 2.7 cm in 3D RMS (root mean square) by overlap comparisons; the estimated orbits are then used as reference orbits for evaluating the orbit precision of GPS and BDS combined POD as well as BDS-based POD. It is indicated that inclusion of BDS geosynchronous orbit satellites (GEOs) could degrade POD precision seriously. The precisions of orbit estimates by combined POD and BDS-based POD are 3.4 and 30.1 cm in 3D RMS when GEOs are involved, respectively. However, if BDS GEOs are excluded, the combined POD can reach similar precision with respect to GPS POD, showing orbit differences about 0.8 cm, while the orbit precision of BDS-based POD can be improved to 8.4 cm. These results indicate that the POD performance with onboard BDS data alone can reach precision better than 10 cm with only five BDS inclined geosynchronous satellite orbit satellites and three MEOs. As the GNOS receiver can only track six BDS satellites for orbit positioning at its maximum channel, it can be expected that the performance of POD with onboard BDS data can be further improved if more observations are generated without such restrictions.

Stochastic modeling of triple-frequency BeiDou signals: estimation, assessment and impact analysis / Bofeng Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 90 n° 7 (July 2016)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 90 n° 7 (July 2016) . - pp 593 – 610 Titre : Stochastic modeling of triple-frequency BeiDou signals: estimation, assessment and impact analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bofeng Li, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 593 – 610 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur instrumentale [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] récepteur trifréquence [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Stochastic models are important in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) estimation problems. One can achieve reliable ambiguity resolution and precise positioning only by use of a suitable stochastic model. The BeiDou system has received increased research focus, but based only on empirical stochastic models from the knowledge of GPS. In this paper, we will systematically study the estimation, assessment and impacts of a triple-frequency BeiDou stochastic model. In our estimation problem, a single-difference, geometry-free functional model is used to extract pure random noise. A very sophisticated structure of unknown variance matrix is designed to allow the estimation of satellite-specific variances, cross correlations between two arbitrary frequencies, as well as the time correlations for phase and code observations per frequency. In assessing the stochastic models, six data sets with four brands of BeiDou receivers on short and zero-length baselines are processed, and the results are compared. In impact analysis of stochastic model, the performance of integer ambiguity resolution and positioning are numerically demonstrated using a realistic stochastic model. The results from ultrashort (shorter than 10 m) and zero-length baselines indicate that BeiDou stochastic models are affected by both observation and receiver brands. The observation variances have been modeled by an elevation-dependent function, but the modeling errors for geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites are larger than for inclined geosynchronous satellite orbit (IGSO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites. The stochastic model is governed by both the internal errors of the receiver and external errors at the site. Different receivers have different capabilities for resisting external errors. A realistic stochastic model is very important for achieving ambiguity resolution with a high success rate and small false alarm and for determining realistic variances for position estimates. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first comprehensive study on such stochastic models used specifically with BeiDou data.
