Nowadays, the BeiDou global navigation satellite system (BDS-3) constellation was fully operational. We evaluated the multipath characteristics of BDS-3 open-service signals. The results indicate that the B2a signal had the best anti-multipath performance, and B1C signal had the worst capability. Since BDS-3 satellites with different orbital types have different orbital repeat time, the traditional method based on multipath time-domain repeatability is complicated to alleviate the multipath error on BDS-3 satellites. In contrast, the multipath spatial-domain repeatability method does not need to calculate the orbital repeat times and is only related to the position of the satellite in the sky. It has the advantages of simple algorithm and easy implementation. We selected a multipath hemispherical map (MHM) and a MHM based on trend-surface analysis (T-MHM) to evaluate the effects of BDS-3 PPP multipath correction. The positioning results for the inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, which were separately modeled and corrected, are slightly better than those obtained when they were modeled and corrected together. Compared with the uncorrected multipath, the positioning accuracy of B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a ionospheric-free (IF) combinations using the MHM can be improved by 52.7% and 51.6% and the convergence time can be shortened by 48.6% and 57.5%, respectively. The positioning accuracy of B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a IF combinations using the T-MHM can be improved by 67% and 66.9% and the convergence time can be shortened by 69.3% and 76.5%, respectively. The T-MHM introduces trend-surface analysis to model the spatial variation of the multipath inside the grid, which effectively alleviates high-frequency and low-frequency multipath. This study is of great significance for further improvements to the application of BDS-3 in complex environments.

On-orbit BDS signals and transmit antenna gain analysis for a geostationary satellite / Meng Wang in Advances in space research, vol 69 n° 7 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 69 n° 7 (April 2022) . - pp 2711 - 2723 Titre : On-orbit BDS signals and transmit antenna gain analysis for a geostationary satellite Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Meng Wang, Auteur ; Tao Shan, Auteur ; Lei Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 2711 - 2723 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] affaiblissement de la précision [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite terrestre [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] récepteur BeiDou [Termes IGN] satellite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] signal BeiDou Résumé : (auteur) A Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS) receiver with high sensitivity is embarked in a geostationary orbit (GEO) spacecraft to demonstrate characteristics of BDS signals tracked. This receiver can be compatible with the regional (BDS-2) and global (BDS-3) systems, which have three orbit types: medium Earth orbit (MEO), inclined geostationary orbit (IGSO), and GEO. The on-orbit BDS signal characteristics, including observations quantity, availability, position dilution of precision (PDOP), and carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0), are presented according to in-flight data. The observations and distribution of C/N0 with respect to nadir angles were analyzed. The average number of the BDS satellites tracked is 4.4, and the average PDOP is 12.0. PDOP improves when the BDS GEO and IGSO observations are involved. The maximum value of C/N0 of the BDS-3 MEO satellites is approximately 49 dB-Hz, which is roughly 2 dB higher than that of the BDS-2 MEO satellites. Most of the C/N0 of the BDS-3 MEO satellite at nadir angles beyond 26° is in the range of 27–34 dB-Hz. We reconstruct the transmit antenna gain for all observed BDS satellites using C/N0 measurements. Moreover, we investigate the main and side lobe characteristics of the BDS satellites in terms of different orbit types and satellite manufacturers. The side lobe signals of the BDS-3 MEO generally have 20–30 dB lower gain than the peak main lobe gain. The side lobe signal performance of the BDS-2 MEO is evidently better than that of the BDS-3 MEO. We give side lobe characteristics analysis of the BDS-3 MEO satellites from two different manufacturers based on the transmit antenna gain reconstructed.

Maintaining accurate states for all objects in the catalog is essential, but it leads to large loads on sensors and limits the time available to search for new objects. This study proposes a novel sensor tasking method for search and catalog maintenance of space objects in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO). This new framework formulates sensor tasking as a multi-objective optimization problem. It seeks an optimal balance between sensor resources to search for new objects and to maintain precise state estimates for all objects in the catalog. In order to maintain custody of newly detected targets, an evidence-based decision-making method is used to effectively prompt follow-on tracking. The labeled multi-Bernoulli filter is employed to track existing and new space objects and provide refined orbital state estimation. Simulation results are presented, in which 100 cataloged GEO objects and 200 new GEO objects are tracked using a space-based sensor placed on a Sun-synchronous orbit.

Orbit and clock analysis of BDS-3 satellites using inter-satellite link observations / Xin Xie in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 7 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 7 (July 2020) . - n° 64 Titre : Orbit and clock analysis of BDS-3 satellites using inter-satellite link observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xin Xie, Auteur ; Tao Geng, Auteur ; Qile Zhao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 64 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite terrestre [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] variance d'Allan Résumé : (auteur) China is currently focusing on the establishment of its BDS-3 system, and a BDS-3 constellation with 18 satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and one satellite in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) has been able to provide preliminary global services since the end of 2018. 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.
