For this reason, the absolute field antenna calibrations performed so far for the two legacy carrier frequencies, the GPS and GLONASS, seem to be insufficient. Hence, all antennas will require a re-calibration of their phase center variations for the new signals to ensure the highest measurement accuracy. Currently, two absolute calibration methods are used to calibrate GNSS antennas: field calibration using a robot and calibration in an anechoic chamber. Unfortunately, differences in these methodologies also result in a disparity in the obtained antenna phase center corrections (PCC). Therefore, we analyze the differences between individual PCC obtained with these two methods, specifically for the Leica AR-25 antenna model (LEIAR25). In addition, the influence of PCC differences on the GNSS-derived position time series for 19 EUREF Permanent GNSS Network (EPN) stations was also assessed. The results show that the calibration method has a noticeable impact on PCC models. PCC differences determined for the ionosphere-free combination may reach up over 20 mm and can be transferred to the position domain. Further tests concerning the positioning accuracy showed that for horizontal coordinates differences between solutions were mostly below 1 mm, exceeding 2 mm only at two stations for the GLONASS solution. However, the height component differences exceeded 5 mm for four, six and six stations out of 19 for the GPS, GLONASS and Galileo solutions, respectively. These differences are strongly dependent on large L2 calibration differences.

We focus on the performance of Galileo time and frequency transfer using the E1, E5a, E5b and E5 observations. Dual-frequency, triple-frequency and quad-frequency models for precise time and frequency transfer with different Galileo observations are proposed. Four time and transfer links between international time laboratories are used to assess the performances of different models in terms of time link noise level and frequency stability indicators. The average RMS values of the smoothed residuals of the clock difference series are 0.033 ns, 0.033 ns and 0.034 ns for the dual-frequency, triple-frequency and quad-frequency models with four time links, respectively. With respect to frequency stability, the average stability values at 15,360 s are 9.51 × 10−15, 9.46 × 10−15 and 9.37 × 10−15 for the dual-frequency, triple-frequency and quad-frequency models with four time links, respectively. Moreover, although biases among different models and receiver the inter-frequency exist, their characteristics are relatively stable. Generally, the dual-/triple-/quad-frequency models show similar performance for those time links, and the quad-frequency models can provide significant potential for switching among and unifying the three multi-frequency solutions, as well as further enhancing the redundancy and reliability compared to the current dual-frequency time transfer method.

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 24 n° 2 (April 2020) Titre : The impact of second-order ionospheric delays on the ZWD estimation with GPS and BDS measurements Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shaocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Lei Fang, Auteur ; Guangxing Wang, Auteur ; Wei Li, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] champ géomagnétique [Termes descripteurs IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] données BeiDou [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] gradient d'ionosphère [Termes descripteurs IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes descripteurs IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons Résumé : (auteur) Since millimeter accuracy is required in many GNSS applications such as real-time zenith wet delay (ZWD) estimation, the higher-order ionospheric delays on GNSS signals are no longer negligible. We calculated the second-order ionospheric delays (I2) and analyzed the impact on the ZWD estimation with GPS-only and combined GPS/BDS observations. The undifferenced PPP model with fixed coordinates was used to estimate the ZWD and horizontal gradients. The method of blockwise sequential least squares was utilized to eliminate the receiver clock biases and compute the I2 impact on the ZWDs. The I2 delays on each GNSS satellite observations were calculated with the CODE final TEC map and the 12th generation of the international geomagnetic reference field (IGRF-12) model. The statistical results with the actual observation geometry show that the I2 delays can reach over 10 mm during the daytime, and the corresponding impact on the estimated ZWD can reach up to several millimeters. At station HKWS, the maximum I2 impact with GPS only reaches up to 3.1 mm and is still 2.4 mm when both GPS and BDS observations are used. The simulated I2 impact on the ZWD could reach several millimeters, even though the TEC and geomagnetic values were calculated from relatively moderate background models. Compared with the 5–10 mm precision of real-time ZWD estimation, the I2 delays must not be ignored, especially during high VTEC periods.

Cantilever steel bars having lengths of 70, 100 and 120 cm were tested under dynamic excitation. The GNSS was used to measure the natural frequencies and damping values of all the tested cantilever structures. The GNSS data were processed using relative GNSS positioning and PPP methods. The results obtained using these two methods were also compared with the dynamic characteristics obtained by applying the theoretical and finite element (FE) methods. Furthermore, it is investigated the impact of the stable data length before oscillation events on kinematic PPP. The study showed that the maximum difference among the experimental results in terms of natural frequencies proceeded using PPP is 0.08 Hz when compared with the theoretical and FE results. Furthermore, there is no difference between the PPP and relative GNSS positioning in determining the dynamic behaviour of structures eventhough roving GNSS antenna remains motionless for short-time, such as a few-minutes, before an event occurred.

Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results / Adria Rovira-Garcia in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020) Titre : Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adria Rovira-Garcia, Auteur ; Deimos Ibáñez-Segura, Auteur ; Raül Orús-Pérez, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] trajet multiple [Termes descripteurs IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (Auteur) Single-frequency users of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) must correct for the ionospheric delay. These corrections are available from global ionospheric models (GIMs). Therefore, the accuracy of the GIM is important because the unmodeled or incorrectly part of ionospheric delay contributes to the positioning error of GNSS-based positioning. However, the positioning error of receivers located at known coordinates can be used to infer the accuracy of GIMs in a simple manner. This is why assessment of GIMs by means of the position domain is often used as an alternative to assessments in the ionospheric delay domain. The latter method requires accurate reference ionospheric values obtained from a network solution and complex geodetic modeling. However, evaluations using the positioning error method present several difficulties, as evidenced in recent works, that can lead to inconsistent results compared to the tests using the ionospheric delay domain. We analyze the reasons why such inconsistencies occur, applying both methodologies. We have computed the position of 34 permanent stations for the entire year of 2014 within the last Solar Maximum. The positioning tests have been done using code pseudoranges and carrier-phase leveled (CCL) measurements. We identify the error sources that make it difficult to distinguish the part of the positioning error that is attributable to the ionospheric correction: the measurement noise, pseudorange multipath, evaluation metric, and outliers. Once these error sources are considered, we obtain equivalent results to those found in the ionospheric delay domain assessments. Accurate GIMs can provide single-frequency navigation positioning at the decimeter level using CCL measurements and better positions than those obtained using the dual-frequency ionospheric-free combination of pseudoranges. Finally, some recommendations are provided for further studies of ionospheric models using the position domain method.
