To optimize the quality of these ultra-rapid orbit products, we investigated the effects of the fitting arc length, an a priori Solar-Radiation Pressure (SRP) model, and the along-track empirical acceleration on the prediction of BDS GEO satellite orbits. The predicted orbit arcs of 24-h were evaluated through comparisons with the corresponding observed orbit arc and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations. In both eclipse and non-eclipse seasons, accuracy of the orbit predictions obtained using a 48-h fitting arc length were better than those obtained using 24-h and 72-h fitting arc lengths. Although the overlapping precision of predicted orbits exhibited no obvious improvement when an a priori SRP model was employed, the systematic bias in the SLR residuals was significantly reduced. Specifically, the mean value of SLR residuals decreased from −0.248 m to −0.024 m during non-eclipse seasons and from −0.333 m to −0.041 m during eclipse seasons, respectively. In addition, when an empirical acceleration in the along-track direction was introduced, the three-Dimensional Root-Mean-Square (3D RMS) of overlapping orbits during eclipse seasons decreased from 2.964 to 1.080 m, which is comparable to that during non-eclipse seasons. Furthermore, the Standard Deviation (STD) of SLR residuals decreased from 0.419 to 0.221 m during eclipse seasons. The analysis of SRP estimates shows that the stability of SRP parameters was significantly enhanced after the introduction of along-track empirical acceleration in eclipse seasons. The optimal BDS GEO ultra-rapid orbit prediction products were yielded by using a 48-h fitting arc length, an a priori SRP model and an along-track empirical acceleration.

Precise orbit determination for BDS-3 GEO satellites enhanced by intersatellite links / Xiaojie Li in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 8 Titre : Precise orbit determination for BDS-3 GEO satellites enhanced by intersatellite links Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaojie Li, Auteur ; Xiaogong Hu, Auteur ; Rui Guo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 8 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite précise [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] qualité des données Résumé : (auteur) Geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites are an integral part of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). Precise orbit determination (POD) for GEO satellites is difficult due to their geostationary characteristics. The orbit determination accuracy that can be achieved based on regional tracking stations in China cannot satisfy high-precision service requirements. The third generation of BDS (BDS-3) is the first global navigation satellite system that synergistically uses regional monitoring stations and global intersatellite links (ISLs) to realize global service. In this study, the quality of ISL data is analyzed based on the residuals of the intersatellite clock offset and the observed-minus-computed residuals of the ISL data. The orbit determination accuracy is assessed based on the observation residuals, the multiday consistency of the ISL time delays, overlapping orbit comparison, the user equivalent range error (UERE), and the accuracy of the clock offset. The results show that the ISL measurement noise for the GEO satellites is 3 cm, and the multiday consistency accuracy of the ISL time delay is better than 0.07 ns. Compared to the satellite-to-ground link (SGL)-based orbit determination method, the root mean square (RMS) three-dimensional (3D) position error of the overlapping orbit differences (OODs) is improved from 1.11 to 0.22 m with the combined SGL- and ISL-based method. Simultaneously, the UERE improves from 0.57 to 0.19 m, and the accuracy of the satellite clock offset improves from 1.09 to 0.61 ns.

Characteristics of the BDS-3 multipath effect and mitigation methods using precise point positioning / Ran Lu in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022) . - n° 41 Titre : Characteristics of the BDS-3 multipath effect and mitigation methods using precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ran Lu, Auteur ; Wen Chen, Auteur ; Chenglong Zhang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 41 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] correction du trajet multiple [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite terrestre [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] répétabilité [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Multipath effect is one of the main challenges of precise point positioning (PPP) in complex environments. 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.

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.

Triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution with multi-constellation GNSS: BDS and Galileo / Xingxing Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 8 (August 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 8 (August 2019) . - pp 1105 - 1122 Titre : Triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution with multi-constellation GNSS: BDS and Galileo Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xingxing Li, Auteur ; Xin Li, Auteur ; Gege Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 1105 - 1122 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] constellation GNSS [Termes IGN] estimation de position [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] mesurage de phase [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] positionnement statique [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Multi-constellation GNSS (multi-GNSS) and multi-frequency signals open new prospects for fast ambiguity resolution (AR) of precise point positioning (PPP). Currently, all the BDS and Galileo satellites are capable of transmitting signals on three or more frequencies. In this contribution, we investigate the triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution with B1, B2 and B3 observations from BDS satellites and E1, E5a and E5b observations from Galileo satellites and evaluate the contribution of BDS + Galileo combination to triple-frequency PPP AR. The uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) products are estimated based on triple-frequency observations, and the temporal characteristic as well as the residual distributions are analyzed. Our results show that the extra-wide-lane (EWL) and wide-lane (WL) UPDs for BDS and Galileo satellites are both stable during the 30 days and the daily narrow-lane (NL) UPD series are also steady with no obvious fluctuation. The Galileo UPDs exhibit better performance than BDS UPDs due to the high-quality observations. It is also interesting to find that the EWL UPD corrections for all Galileo satellites are very close to the zero. With the precise UPD products, the triple-frequency PPP AR with BDS and Galileo observations was implemented in both static and kinematic modes. Compared to the ambiguity-float solution, the performance can be significantly improved by triple-frequency PPP AR with the positioning accuracy improved by 30–70% in both static and kinematic modes. Moreover, the triple-frequency PPP fixed solutions also present better performance than the dual-frequency PPP fixed solutions in terms of time to the first fix and positioning accuracy, especially for the Galileo-only and BDS + Galileo solutions. And the fusion of multi-GNSS (BDS and Galileo) can further improve the position estimations compared to the single system with more satellites and better spatial geometry.
