Additionally, they provide precise orbit and clock corrections and can be obtained through their experimental signals (LEX), streaming access, and published site. Multi-GNSS Advanced Demonstration tool for Orbit and Clock Analysis (MADOCA) is one of the precise products offered in QZSS services that can be obtained on a global scale. In this study, we evaluated the performance of MADOCA orbit and clock corrections, particularly for real-time positioning applications using LEX signals. Based on the simulation, we predict that 16 countries in the East Asia and Oceania regions will gain the maximum benefit of the LEX signals. However, we stress that one may have difficulties decoding the LEX signals at regions where only one QZSS satellite is observed. During our sailing expedition at Sumatran Sea, we could only decode up to 37 % LEX signals for the observation period. It profoundly increased up to 95 % at Sulawesi Strait where at least three QZSS satellites with an elevation angle of, at its minimum, 40° were observed. The orbit and clock accuracy is estimated to be 5.2 cm and 0.6 ns with respect to International GNSS Service (IGS) final products. Our simulation of using the Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (RTPPP) method revealed that the accuracy of the corresponding positioning applications was less than one decimeter. Further, we compared the MADOCA products for RTPPP applications with Apex5 positioning solutions in static field observations. The positioning accuracy for MADOCA-RTPPP during the field observations was estimated to be centimeter to decimeter level and is slightly worse than Apex5 positioning solutions. Nevertheless, we highlight vast positioning applications using MADOCA-RTPPP, e. g., survey and mapping, smart agriculture, and offshore engineering navigation.

Yasyukevich, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 76 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Typically, navigation software processes global navigation satellite system (GNSS) phase observables along with the code observables to achieve high-precision positioning. However, the unmodeled code-related errors, typically multipath effects, may deteriorate the positioning performance. Such effects are well known for the second generation BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS-2). To prevent this adverse effect on the state-of-the-art positioning technique, namely integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP-RTK), we propose a multi-frequency phase-only PPP-RTK model. This model excludes the code observables and addresses the rank deficiency problem underlying the phase observation equations at the undifferenced and uncombined level. To verify the model, we collect five-day triple-frequency BDS 30-s data from a network of seven reference stations (about 112 km apart) to estimate the products on the network side. Based on these products, we conduct simulated dynamic positioning at a user station to test the phase-only PPP-RTK model and compare it with the customary code-plus-phase (CPP) model. The results show that the satellite phase biases, existing only at the third frequency, have a precision of better than two centimeters, while the precision of the satellite clock and ionospheric delay is better than eight centimeters. Due to the strong correlation between individual corrections, it is necessary to assess the quality of combined products, including the satellite clock, satellite phase bias and ionospheric delay, the precision of which is several millimeters to two centimeters, which is sufficiently precise for user positioning. Regarding BDS-2 positioning, the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of the CPP PPP-RTK is 12 epochs, while it is only three epochs for the phase-only PPP-RTK. The reason why the CPP model underperforms the phase-only model is that the BDS-2 data collected are subject to notable code multipath. We show that the code multipath in the third-generation BDS (BDS-3) data is mild, so the CPP PPP-RTK achieves instantaneous centimeter-level positioning with a TTFF of one epoch. The BDS-3 phase-only PPP-RTK obtains virtually the same positioning results, but the TTFF is two epochs. When combining BDS-2 with BDS-3, the TTFF of both models remains unchanged compared to that of the BDS-3 solutions, implying that ambiguity resolution based on the stronger dual-system CPP model is robust to the BDS-2 code multipath. However, the ambiguity-float solution of the CPP PPP-RTK is adversely affected by the code multipath and requires 43 epochs to convergence, while its phase-only counterpart needs 36 epochs.

Regional ionospheric corrections for high accuracy GNSS positioning / Tam Dao in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 10 (May-2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 10 (May-2 2022) . - n° 2463 Titre : Regional ionospheric corrections for high accuracy GNSS positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tam Dao, Auteur ; Ken Harima, Auteur ; Brett Anthony Carter, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 2463 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] Continuously Operating Reference Station network [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique Résumé : (auteur) Centimetre-level accurate ionospheric corrections are required for a high accuracy and rapid convergence of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS positioning solutions. This research aims to evaluate the accuracy of a local/regional ionospheric delay model using a linear interpolation method across Australia. The accuracy of the ionospheric corrections is assessed as a function of both different latitudinal regions and the number and spatial density of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORSs). Our research shows that, for a local region of 5° latitude ×10° longitude in mid-latitude regions of Australia (~30° to 40°S) with approximately 15 CORS stations, ionospheric corrections with an accuracy of 5 cm can be obtained. In Victoria and New South Wales, where dense CORS networks exist (nominal spacing of ~100 km), the average ionospheric corrections accuracy can reach 2 cm. For sparse networks (nominal spacing of >200 km) at lower latitudes, the average accuracy of the ionospheric corrections is within the range of 8 to 15 cm; significant variations in the ionospheric errors of some specific satellite observations during certain periods were also found. In some regions such as Central Australia, where there are a limited number of CORSs, this model was impossible to use. On average, centimetre-level accurate ionospheric corrections can be achieved if there are sufficiently dense (i.e., nominal spacing of approximately 200 km) GNSS CORS networks in the region of interest. Based on the current availability of GNSS stations across Australia, we propose a set of 15 regions of different ionospheric delay accuracies with extents of 5° latitude ×10° longitude covering continental Australia.

Baseline-dependent clock offsets in VLBI data analysis / Hana Krásná in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021) . - n° 126 Titre : Baseline-dependent clock offsets in VLBI data analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hana Krásná, Auteur ; Frédéric Jaron, Auteur ; Jacob Gruber, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 126 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Systèmes de référence et réseaux [Termes IGN] bande S [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données ITGB [Termes IGN] horloge atomique [Termes IGN] interférométrie à très grande base [Termes IGN] ligne de base [Termes IGN] paramètres d'orientation de la Terre [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique Résumé : (auteur) The primary goal of the geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique is to provide highly accurate terrestrial and celestial reference frames as well as Earth orientation parameters. In compliance with the concept of VLBI, additional parameters reflecting relative offsets and variations of the atomic clocks of the radio telescopes have to be estimated. In addition, reality shows that in many cases significant offsets appear in the observed group delays for individual baselines which have to be compensated for by estimating so-called baseline-dependent clock offsets (BCOs). For the first time, we systematically investigate the impact of BCOs to stress their importance for all kinds of VLBI data analyses. For our investigations, we concentrate on analyzing data from both legacy networks of the CONT17 campaign. Various aspects of BCOs including their impact on the estimates of geodetically important parameters, such as station coordinates and Earth orientation parameters, are investigated. In addition, some of the theory behind the BCO determination, e.g., the impact of changing the reference clock in the observing network on the BCO estimate is introduced together with the relationship between BCOs and triangle delay closures. In conclusion, missing channels, and here in particular at S band, affecting the ionospheric delay calibration, are identified to be the dominant cause for the occurrence of significant BCOs in VLBI data analysis.

Ionospheric corrections tailored to the Galileo High Accuracy Service / Adria Rovira-Garcia in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 12 (December 2021) . - n° 130 Titre : Ionospheric corrections tailored to the Galileo High Accuracy Service Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adria Rovira-Garcia, Auteur ; C.C.

The Galileo HAS will start providing satellite orbit and clock corrections (i.e. non-dispersive effects) and soon it will also correct dispersive effects such as inter-frequency biases and, in its full capability, ionospheric delay. We analyse here an ionospheric correction system based on the fast precise point positioning (Fast-PPP) and its potential application to the Galileo HAS. The aim of this contribution is to present some recent upgrades to the Fast-PPP model, with the emphasis on the model geometry and the data used. The results show the benefits of integer ambiguity resolution to obtain unambiguous carrier phase measurements as input to compute the Fast-PPP model. Seven permanent stations are used to assess the errors of the Fast-PPP ionospheric corrections, with baseline distances ranging from 100 to 1000 km from the reference receivers used to compute the Fast-PPP corrections. The 99% of the GPS and Galileo errors in well-sounded areas and in mid-latitude stations are below one total electron content unit. In addition, large errors are bounded by the error prediction of the Fast-PPP model, in the form of the variance of the estimation of the ionospheric corrections. Therefore, we conclude that Fast-PPP is able to provide ionospheric corrections with the required ionospheric accuracy, and realistic confidence bounds, for the Galileo HAS.
