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.

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.

A method for precisely predicting satellite clock bias based on robust fitting of ARMA models / Guochao Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 1 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 1 (January 2022) . - n° 3 Titre : A method for precisely predicting satellite clock bias based on robust fitting of ARMA models Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Guochao Zhang, Auteur ; Songhui Han, Auteur ; Jun Ye, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes IGN] international GPS service for geodynamics [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] statistique mathématique [Termes IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (auteur) The precise satellite clock bias prediction is critical in improving the positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) service capabilities of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Due to the influence of satellite signal path and the observation environment, the satellite clock bias data usually contain outliers that heavily affect the accuracy of satellite clock bias prediction. Based on the time series ARMA model and Bayes statistical theory, we propose a method to precisely predict satellite clock bias and detect outliers in the historical sequence of satellite clock bias. At first, considering the effects of an additive outlier (AO) and innovative outlier (IO), a labeling model for robustly fitting the time series ARMA model and detecting AOs and IOs simultaneously is constructed based on the labeling method of classification variables. Second, the Bayes method for robustly fitting time series ARMA model is proposed based on the Bayes statistical theory. Furthermore, it develops an algorithm to precisely predict satellite clock bias using the Bayes method for robustly fitting the time series ARMA model mentioned above. Finally, in order to illustrate the performance of the method for precisely predicting satellite clock bias that we presented, three examples are designed based on the real GPS data come from the IGS official website, and the prediction results of the method are compared with that of original ARMA model (oARMA), quadratic polynomial model (QP) and gray model (GM). It is found that the method can precisely predict the satellite clock bias as well as accurately detect the outliers in the historical sequence.

Estimation and analysis of GPS inter-fequency clock biases from long-term triple-frequency observations / Fan Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 4 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 25 n° 4 (October 2021) . - n° 126 Titre : Estimation and analysis of GPS inter-fequency clock biases from long-term triple-frequency observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fan Zhang, Auteur ; Hongzhou Chai, Auteur ; Linyang Li, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 126 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] phase GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] station GNSS [Termes IGN] triple différence [Termes IGN] variation temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Usually, the difference between the satellite clocks computed with L1/L2 and clocks computed with L1/L5 is defined as inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB). It is critical to correct its L5 time-variant portion in the GNSS triple-frequency precise positioning. Using two years of observations from more than 100 stations worldwide, we use the epoch-differenced method to estimate IFCB for all available 12 GPS BLOCK-IIF satellites, and analyze its short-term and long-term variations. The experimental results indicate that the IFCB variations are clearly consistent for two satellites located in the same orbital plane, which perhaps means that the variations of IFCB are dependent on the orbital plane. We found that the IFCB of each Block-IIF satellite shows repetition characteristics over two years. The annual repetition cycle of 352 days of IFCB is consistent with the GPS year 351.4 days may originate from the rotation of satellites around the earth. GPS triple-frequency uncombined PPP is carried out using 9 globally distributed MGEX stations from June 1 to 30, 2018. The experimental results indicate that compared to the PPP solutions without IFCB corrections, GPS triple-frequency PPP can achieve an accuracy of 2.2, 3.8 and 11.4 mm in the north, east, and up components after correcting IFCB, which is an accuracy increase in 31.3%, 17.4%, and 13.0%, respectively. The average RMS of the phase posteriori residuals for each frequency is also reduced significantly, especially 79.1% for L5 frequency.

Integer-estimable FDMA model as an enabler of GLONASS PPP-RTK / Baocheng Zhang in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 8 (August 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 8 (August 2021) . - n° 91 Titre : Integer-estimable FDMA model as an enabler of GLONASS PPP-RTK Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Baocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Pengyu Hou, Auteur ; Jiuping Zha, Auteur ; Teng Liu, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 91 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] CDMA [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GLONASS [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) PPP-RTK extends the precise point positioning (PPP) concept by incorporating the idea of integer ambiguity resolution underlying the real-time kinematic (RTK) technique, making rapid initialization and high accuracy attainable with a standalone receiver. While PPP-RTK has been well achieved by using global navigation satellite system code division multiple access observables, GLONASS PPP-RTK is nonetheless challenging due to the nature of frequency division multiple access (FDMA) observables. In this work, we present a GLONASS PPP-RTK concept that takes advantage of the integer-estimable FDMA (IE-FDMA) model recently proposed in Teunissen (in GPS Solut 23(4):1–19, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10291-019-0889-0) to guarantee rigorous integer ambiguity resolution and simultaneously takes care of the presence of the inter-frequency biases (IFBs) in homogeneous and heterogeneous network configurations. When conducting GLONASS PPP-RTK based on a network of homogeneous receivers, code and phase observation equations are used to construct the IE-FDMA model, in which the IFBs are implicitly eliminated through reparameterization. For a network consisting of heterogeneous receivers, we exclude the code observables and develop a phase-only IE-FDMA model instead, thereby circumventing the adverse effects of IFBs. For verification purposes, we collect a set of five-day global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS data from two regional networks: one equipped with homogeneous receivers and another with heterogeneous receivers. The results show that the GLONASS-specific network corrections, including satellite clocks, satellite phase biases, and ionospheric delays estimated by the two networks, are as precise as those of their GPS-specific counterparts. Via satellite clock and phase bias corrections, we succeed in fixing both GPS and GLONASS ambiguities, shortening the convergence time to 5 (12) min, compared to 11 (18) min of ambiguity-float positioning in the case of a homogeneous (heterogeneous) network with a data sampling rate of 30 s. For ambiguity-fixed positioning, the convergence time defined in this work also indicates the time to first fix since the positioning error converges to the centimeter level once successful integer ambiguity resolution is achieved. Adding ionospheric corrections further speeds up the initialization in the two networks, with the convergence time being reduced to 0.5 (3) min. Compared with GPS-only positioning, the integration of GPS and GLONASS yields an improvement of 8–34% in accuracy and leads to a reduction of 25–50% in convergence.
