The third-generation BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) can transmit B1I (1561.098 MHz), B3I (1268.52 MHz), B1C (1575.42 MHz), B2a (1176.45 MHz), B2b (1207.14 MHz) and B2ab (1191.795 MHz) signals. To make full use of the advantage of BDS-3 multi-frequency signals and improve BDS-3 service performance, we present some new quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques using B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a signals, which are QFIF0 model combining B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a IF observables, QFIF1 model combining the B1I/B3I, B3I/B1C and B1I/B2a IF observables, QFIF2 model combining B1I/B3I and B1I/B3I/B1C/B2a IF observables, and quad-frequency uncombined QFUC model, respectively. These new techniques only improve the performance of satellite clock estimation by fully utilizing the BDS-3 multi-frequency observations on the premise of ensuring the dual-frequency IF datum but also obtain the corresponding inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) simultaneously. The quad-frequency satellite clock offsets are evaluated in terms of the clock offset precision, the modified Allan deviation (MDEV) and precise point positioning (PPP) performances. The new methods can improve the performances of the estimated clock offsets compared with the traditional dual-frequency IF model. The precision for the estimated clock offsets using quad-frequency satellite clock estimation models can be improved by 13–26% in terms of standard deviation (STD). The improvement of frequency stability ranges from 0 to 24%, especially for the short-term stability, which can reach 12% and 24% for B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a clock offsets, respectively. Similarly, the corresponding PPP performance has also been better improved with respect to those of using traditional dual-frequency IF clock offsets. Thus, the proposed quad-frequency satellite clock estimation techniques can be well applied into precise satellite clock estimation.

GNSS carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) handling: an absolute bias perspective in multi-frequency PPP / Ke Su in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022) . - n° 71 Titre : GNSS carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) handling: an absolute bias perspective in multi-frequency PPP Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ke Su, Auteur ; Shuanggen Jin, Auteur ; Guoqiang Jiao, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 71 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] signal BeiDou [Termes IGN] signal Galileo [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) In precise satellite clock estimation, the satellite clock offsets absorb the pseudorange and carrier phase time-variant hardware delays. The dissimilarity of the satellite clock estimated with observations at different frequencies is termed the inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB). The bias inconsistency suggests that the simple ionospheric-free satellite clock cannot directly be applied to the multi-frequency carrier phase observations in multi-frequency precise point positioning (PPP). We propose the carrier phase time-variant observable-specific signal bias (OSB) concept and the corresponding estimation approach to solve this. The definition, rationality, reliability and validity of the carrier phase time-variant OSB are clarified. The new concept advantage is that a set of the carrier phase time-variant OSB values can directly amend on the carrier phase observations, and thereafter, the IFCB effect can be eliminated, which provides the flexibilities for the GNSS carrier phase observation handing. Datasets collected from 144 Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) stations are adopted for the carrier phase time-variant OSB estimation and an analysis of its effect on the GNSS multi-frequency PPP performance. The various multi-frequency PPP models are tested and evaluated considering the carrier phase time-variant OSB correction. The results indicate that the GPS, BDS-2 and BDS-3 carrier phase time-variant OSB time series have the obvious amplitudes and the amplitudes of the Galileo and QZSS carrier phase time-variant OSB are small. The GPS and BDS-2 multi-frequency PPP performance is significantly enhanced when correcting the carrier phase time-variant OSB. The GPS-only kinematic ionospheric-float PPP exhibits the positioning accuracy of 1.0 cm, 2.2 cm and 2.6 cm in the north, east and up components when correcting the carrier phase time-variant OSB, whereas the positioning accuracy of the case without the correction is 1.4 cm, 2.8 cm and 3.7 cm in three directions, respectively. The mean convergence time of two dual-frequency and three triple-frequency BDS-2-only kinematic PPP is reduced by 5.0%, 4.9%, 5.4%, 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively, with the carrier phase time-variant OSB correction. The carrier phase time-variant OSB improvement on BDS-3-only multi-frequency PPP is not obvious owing to the relatively few available and stable carrier phase time-variant OSB values. The reliability, suitability and effectiveness of the GNSS carrier phase time-variant OSB are demonstrated.

GNSS observable-specific phase biases for all-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution / Jianghui Geng in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 2 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 2 (February 2022) . - n° 11 Titre : GNSS observable-specific phase biases for all-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jianghui Geng, Auteur ; Qiang Wen, Auteur ; Qiyuan Zhang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 11 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] données Galileo [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] phase GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) An unwritten rule to resolve GNSS ambiguities in precise point positioning (PPP-AR) is that users should follow faithfully the frequency choices and observable combinations mandated by satellite clock and phase bias providers. Switching to other frequencies of measurements requires that the satellite clocks be converted, albeit in a roundabout way, to agree with the new frequencies of code biases. Satellite phase biases, on the other hand, are prescribed conventionally as wide-lane and narrow-lane combinations, which prevents users from resolving other phase combinations in the case of multi-frequency observables. We therefore develop an approach to compute observable-specific phase biases (phase OSBs) in concert with the legacy, but ambiguity-fixed, satellite clocks to enable PPP-AR over any frequency choices and observable combinations at the user end, i.e., all-frequency PPP-AR. In particular, the phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies (e.g., L1/L2 for GPS and E1/E5a for Galileo) are estimated by decoupling the code OSBs pre-aligned with the satellite clocks; then satellite clocks are re-estimated by holding pre-resolved undifferenced ambiguities and phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies; finally, all third-frequency phase OSBs are determined by introducing the ambiguity-fixed satellite clocks above. We used a global network of multi-frequency GPS/Galileo data over a month to verify this approach. In dual-frequency PPP-AR using GPS L1/L2, L1/L5, Galileo E1/E5a, E1/E5b, E1/E5 and E1/E6 signals, over 95% of wide-lane and narrow-lane ambiguity residuals were within ±0.25 and ±0.15 cycles, respectively, after the code and phase OSB corrections on raw GNSS measurements. As a result, the ambiguity fixing rates reached around 95% in all PPP-AR tests, though it was only the satellite clocks aligned with the GPS L1/L2 and Galileo E1/E5a pseudorange that were applied throughout. We stress that the key to computing such phase OSBs for all-frequency PPP-AR is that the code OSBs have the same bias datum as that of the satellite clocks.

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 : 2022 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.

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.
